School...sucks

[Doc]

Yeah, anyone still in school? It sucks to be back, right?

That's why I'm glad that I'm a teacher.

School sucks??!! Man, I'd give anything to be back in school. If I could I'd go back for the rest of my life. 9 to 5's, now that there truly sucks.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th week now.  I enrolled in a class called "Overview of the Video Game Industry" we meet on Mon. nights.

I'm bringing my GameCube so we all can play Smash Bros. while we wait on the instructor.

That's not school!

That's true. High School has to be the best of times.

College my friend, nothing better than the 5 years I spent at film school. I don't think it'll ever get better than that. If anyone here is still in highschool and is planning to go to a local college, CHANGE YOUR PLANS IMMEDIATELY. Going far far far away to school is the best thing you could ever do.

IMO school is fun , studying once a year when you have examns and just relaxing the rest of the year  The only thing that makes work better is the money that you earn. With that money you can buy games. As a student , you don't have a lot of money to spend 

[nes_pwnerer]

That's true: I don't have any money. I used to go to poker nights with buds, but losing $10 a night is no fun, especially since you could get a few NES games for that price.

[Bowserman]

School sure is boring and it sucks.

[nes_pwnerer]

That's not the only class I'm taking.

Still, I'd gladly trade Canadian History for a class about video games.

Napolean Dynamyte

What a shit class it would be to have to watch and study Napoleon Dynamite -- to have to talk about a junk, pop-culture, MTV-drool, cliche, pathetic-humored flick. I think not!

[nes_pwnerer]

You gotta admit though. Before he became the Emo Hero (as it were), the movie is pretty hilarious. I often find myself quoting it at the risk of being scrutinized by peers.

[JC]

I remember watching it for the first time...not one laugh from my mouth. The entire production was a pathetic attempt at humor. But I realize it was, for better or worse, quite popular among the masses.

[nes_pwnerer]

I know it's not smart comedy,  and none of the actors are really that talented, but c'mon. How 'bout when the guy shot the cow when the school bus of kids rolled by? That was amazing! That must've at least let out a chuckle...

[JC]

I don't remember that part, actually. Mustn't have been too eventful for me. You want good stupid comedy...there's nothing better than Dumb and Dumber.

Indeed...

"Wanna hear the most annoying sounds in the world?

EEEEEEYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHEEEEEAAAAAAAAHYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Back on topic...it's nice to see all your old buds again for those of us returning to high school. Heck, one even tells me if I save up a grand by Spring Break, I might be able to go with him and the rest of his Japanese class to Japan for a week, which would be so gnarly.

[JC]

Hell, going to Japan would be awesome.

As for me, I'm four months out of college and wondering if I should return for a Masters. I liked school -- kept me thinking about those BIG and important questions, kept me searching.
