lol

Wow that commercial was long compared to other ones you'd see in Australia.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

In America, the longest commercial I've seen was like 3 minutes long.

 

[Chikara]

In America, the only commercial worth watching is during the Super Bowl.

[vaporeon7]

Ya'll just reminded me I have to do something for English.

 

[Chikara]

...ahaha I graduated with a 3% in math.

I. Hate. Numbers. So much.

 

[Chikara]

My mom was actually proud. I guess she wasn't expecting me to graduate. She was okay with whatever I got, haha :(

or she just wasn't surprised. I've never been good in math. Ever.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Even if a particular subject isn't relevant to your future career, it's important as a human being to have a basic grasp of how the components of life--from atoms to galaxies, cells to civilizations--work. Knowledge is its own reward.

 

[Legendary Silke]

That's precisely why I'm still trying my best in life, and in school - I'll need it in the future, no matter how insignificant.

 

[Palkia]

The majority of kids in my school haven't grasped that school isn't about breaking the rules and having fun. I've already realized the importance these years are to me, and try my hardest to study.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Studying is to be taken seriously, after all. I never understand why some students like to break rules and stuff.

 

[Palkia]

My guess they have nothing better to do and they think the rules are unfair. Although, lots of the kids in my school have made great progress this year, some even better than me.

 

[Cid]

Studying in a science school, kids around me get sick of the advanced, science-oriented curriculum. This is probably why they act more fun-loving and rebellious than kids of the same age from other schools (in our country, that is)-- not caring about the difficulty of future subjects due to an early exposure to this level of academics.

Everyone fails to realize that we're studying all these things relatively early only to have the early skill and specialization expected from us, the same expectations that were slapped onto our faces (through contracts) upon entering.

 

[Legendary Silke]

To be honest... when it comes to school, I don't think I'm really giving it all my best. But I can try, huh?

 

[Cid]

Of course. It's the thought of trying to give your best that counts, in my opinion. :3
Ironically, I haven't been living my life like that up until now.
I wish I would always remind myself of that and do my best in life everyday.

...I guess I'd better start today.

 

[Palkia]

I'm getting rather sleepy at school, but I'm switching timetables in a week so I can get used to it. I'm quite burnt out, so the summer holiday will be needed.

 

[Chikara]

You guys are all so responsible, you make me feel like a bum. I've never studied in my life. But I make A's and B's, save for Math which is always low. I should think about studying that...

Cid, random but by the way, I like that ninety-fifth after eighty thousand thing in your signature. That's so creative l-lmfao.

 

[Legendary Silke]

If you think it'll help, feel free to do it. It may help you in the long run.

 

[Chikara]

Well yeah I could, but if studying never worked before for me, that's kinda difficult. To just... start lmfao.

Got no study skillz.

Really? I didn't realize that, mainly because it was partially meant to fill space in my sig and to provide text that I can wrap title tags onto. xD; But thanks for that random comment! Made me feel happy. :3

And I think with regards to studying, maybe finding a study pal for Math would help in starting. Probably someone who goes through as much as you, who doesn't necessarily have to teach you. In fact, he/she would be better to have in company if he/she also has the same goals as you. Because just having someone doing the same thing as you could give you motivation. I know that helped me heaps. And I didn't have to have study skills-- just enough motivation and the right attitude.

 

[Sweet Candace]

I don't like studying. I have poor study habits to begin with, and asking me to study is like taking a horse to water.

You could get him there, but you can't always make him drink.

With me, you can get me to open my book or take my notes out, but you can't always make me study.
