Random Thoughts 5 - READ RULES IN FIRST POST

Snow's coming. Hoping tomorrow off cause of all these tests. The suspense is real XD.

EDIT: School's off Smile.
Snow? i've never felt snow in my entire life because I was raised in Southeast Asia and never ventured further than Japan. And that was during summer. Managed to see the Hanshin Line (Maximum Tune 4/5 anyone?) in Osaka (the room which I stayed in overlooks a section of the expressway, and since this is Japan sports cars or supercars fly by quite often.

I also had a 3-hour ride to Tokyo from Osaka by the Shinkansen train. If only I went through Japan's rich automobile history like the Nissan Zama warehouse.

Anyway, when "snow" comes to mind, my mind flies off to Group B WRC Cars. Anyone feel this way too?
I haveseen snow a few times. It looks beautiful but is rrealllly cold.

To be honest the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life is watching a hurricane first hand. The sound is amazing.
Living in Indiana, I basically see all forms of weather. Blizzards, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc..

Long live this beautiful state with corn as far as the eye can see.
I live in Canada, there's snow all year long here.

lol, bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? Although our winter here in Quebec lasts like six months ...

It's not ALL corn.
(some of it is soybeans)

Gotta love that mixed bag of extreme weather and natural disasters.

Unless you're in some crazy-authoritarian religious school I doubt you'd be "dead" for the use of a swear word in a private circle such as Facebook. If they grill you for anything harshly it'll probably be due to the use of Facebook during school hours. It'd be really dumb for them to send you to the guidance counselor for swearing, especially privately on Facebook. What is there to counsel? There's no problem. Kids just swear. It's a fact of life that a shocking amount of adults don't seem to accept.

Oh and i forgot to say that it was in our school group chat. First was my classmate's mom saw it , the teacher only scolded me. Second was this, when i was swearing with my other classmate. The reason why she caught me was my other other classmate reported it to her. Which sucks. my other classmate is going to get "revenge" by printing a message when my other other classmate swore. But, still i don't get it. Sure it was a school group chat, but why would it be wrong to swear with my friends? and it's a pretty religious school, considering it's name is "International Baptist College and Seminary" lol.

If it's the school group chat, it's probably under the same rules and restrictions as a classroom would be. If swearing isn't tolerated in class, it makes sense that they wouldn't be happy with it in the chat. If it's not that much of a problem in the classroom, then enforcing it online more strictly doesn't really make much sense.

Damn , im actually forgetting alot of things, haha, it's a school group chat made by my classmates, not the teacher itself. in classroom , i was caught swearing for two times i think , but they only ignored it. I think their concern is the parents' point of view about the school. Because like i said , the first time i was caught is by the mother of my classmate. And i wasn't really given demerits, detentions or anything, but i was only given a warning. I'm really nervous right now, since the guidance counselor is really scary-looking. And i'm a bit relieved that my mom found out that i was swearing , and she wasn't really that mad.
The school cannot punish you for things done in your private life unless it is harassment of another student or something along those lines.
You guys made a group chat and invited your teachers, mistake #1. You invited a snitch, mistake #2. You spoke too freely with teachers and confirmed snitches, mistake #3.


I'd just leave the chat, unless its required.
Wow, existing on the internet as a kid seems very weird now. I can't imagine communicating online with my teachers in elementary or high school. Speechless

I never said we invited teachers. It's only a private group chat. But with my classmates, not with my teachers and classmates.

Yeah, haha. It's convenient though. I can ask about projects and stuff anytime.

It seems weird to me too and I'm in High School. Than again, I've been to three high schools in two years xD.

I'm in college and I don't even communicate with my professors outside of the classroom.
Another day another day off. I like these snow days Smile.

Ton of homework tonight. Don't expect me to be as active as I have been yesterday. I'll be back tomorrow.
After just watching several rounds of each, I got hooked by Formula D and D1GP. These guys have some serious guts going sideways over 100mph, even through hairpins, and pinch-narrow tracks like Ebisu and Tsukuba.

Also, these cars don't all look the same, unlike F1. The cars are also nothing more than heavily-tuned road cars, and you can spot old legendary Japanese cars alongside European ones and Americans. Though I have to yet see an SLS-AMG in D1GP/Formula D. We don't see spaceplane-like-cars jostling around a bend at 50mph, we see imports/tuners driving round those turns at over 70mph or maybe closer to 60mph. I've always held a heavy disdain over the F1 motorsport though.

The commentators were also very hammy, and enjoy screaming at the top of their lungs for the slightest incident or achievement like someone pulling off a reverse entry drift or a car spinning out. That probably contributed.

Anyone else with me?
