Guys...

I WISH I had time to read everyone's stories! Mostly I'm so busy that I barely have time to check the lounge and welcome areas.. I'm really trying though. My priorities are those stories that people have asked me to read.. so I'll go through and look at ones that haven't been critiqued, and I'll TRY to comment on them tonight. Just be patient, mkay? A lot of us are really busy with school and everything.

Yesh. It's good to have stuff looked at by more than one person too: it makes a writer feel special. /random

we have to start a group or something...like the Die Hard Story Critiquers...lol

you should! That would be a good thing, i think. but crysi's right, many of us are still in school and (on our case) have finals coming up. (our school is so backwards!)

Hey I'm in sixth grade...I have like 2 hours of homework a night. I find time though...

2 hours? you have no idea...

I WISH I had 2 hours of homework each night! Some nights I come home, start my homework, and don't finish until 10.. Which reminds me, I have an essay to work on..

*Laughs*

Here's an idea....I never do my homework. (shouts of rebel are heard)

Well, okay I do. But here's an example. This weeked I have 2 history essays to do, a maths paper, and 2 english essays. And a psychology test on the Monday.

I'm going to do one History essay, and I'll put all my effort into that. I'll apologise a lot, and say, this took me so long I had little time for the other one.

My maths teacher is a sucker so he won't care if I don't do it.

I'll do both my English essays cos we have a new teacher in, better please her.

Tip 1 - get teachers to like you. In my school, everyone thinks I'm really hardworking. When in reality, I'm not. Hehe, it's great.

Unfortunately, only my art teacher would fall for anything like that, and she's leaving at the end of the semester (in about two weeks)

Besides swim team practice and hockey practice and 4-H and riding lessons...yeah...you could say 'I wish!'

The worst thing is to compare yourself with others, as that has already been done, I hope for all of you. Merely saying how much work you have, creates in your mind that it is an obstacle to be passed. Bad thing, bad idea, bad ways. Most of you hate school, the teacher, homework, and testing. This is your life you are hating, why do it? School allows you to funnel out your interests, find what you're interested in. But wait! Some of you will say, "I like history though!" Forget it, you lost my point all the way back there Are you saying that you only care about the interests that you are faced with? Greedy, unfortunate, and distasteful. School makes you who you are in the future, it makes you knowledgable about lots of ideas. Well rounded, and well thought of. There are those that would take your place in a flash, wanting to go to school and all. Just be greatful for what you have, and think about the others that don't have the chance to do homework.

Love writing...HATE LANGUAGE ARTS!!!! AHH!

Just be greatful for what you have, and think about the others that don't have the chance to do homework.

Yeah I know. I had a lecture from my Psychology teacher about how when she went to China where they take Education totally seriously, and find it shocking when they come over here and find us talking about it like some kind of chore. I totally have the wrong attitude, but I took Maths as a subject for AS levels, and I've totally regretted it. I'm so not a sciencey peson, much more of an arty individual.

School allows you to funnel out your interests, find what you're interested in.

My largest problem is that what i'm interested in, my school doesn't offer . However, I am going to take some classes that can be used for both high school and colege credit. Another thing that drives me insane is that I don't have any subjects that I'm exceedingly good at. Straight A's across all 8 classes. So, I can go into virtually anything; therein lies the problem of picking a handful of subjects to go deeper into.

Listen to me gripping. I've got such a good life, I shouldn't be writing this...
