Right, let's settle this.

I assume you haven't heard from me for quite a long time. I have been dealing of all sorts of problems related to school recently, and I hardly had time to study. Here's just a summary:

It's been a trend lately that students of my age are driving themselves to school. Especially where I live in, there's no subway to board or buses that you can trust(they're ALWAYS late), the most preferred transport are motocycles and cars. In my school we have an ample space of parking lots for students and teachers, so it's convenient for us students. But just recently, the school senior admins. (let's call him L), made some special rules. He had change many of the school's stuffs, like the badges we wear, our hairstyle...let's just say he turn the school to an academy of Shaolin monks, where everyone must not have hair longer than 2 cm.

That wasn't bad at all, till he drop an atomic bomb for all seniors: no parking allowed in school. Shortly, all student were shooed from the school compound and we're left to find our own space. This is serious business, because many of us seniors drive to school, and L just gave a few lame reasons to compliment with this rule. Let's revise through the reasons he gave, shall we?

1. For the safety of the students.
Sounds reasonable to anyone, but it sounds crappy for all of us students, since he's been recycling this excuse over and over and over again for every a little damn thing. The truth is the juniors have been running arounf like a bunch of wild chickens and he wants us not to drive into the school. Why can't he just discipline those kids rather than implimenting this rule.

2. The absence of cars gives a peaceful atmosphere to the school, which makes studies a lot better
Now this is just bull****. As if the cars will suddenly rev up their engine anytime during lessons. The only time when there's much noise about is before and after school hours, which most probably no students will be studying. I understand that it looks peaceful without cars, but there are only few classes that are next to the parking lot, and it doesn't had any flowers or vegetations to beautify the parking place, just one tree in the middle where everyone fights for the shade under it. So it doesn't look any peaceful to me.

3 (this is the worst). He doesn't encourage us to drive to school
If #2 is bull****, this is the bull**** of all the bull**** you can find. The king of bull**** that is. We students are elligible to drive, and it's becoming a popular trend in this society, so how does this rule related to his reason? It is known to all people(in my country) that motorist faces high risk of accidents and deaths, but he allows mortorcycles in schools, and not cars. Which sound like he encourages students to ride a motorcycle that faces high risk of death, and discourages students to drive to school which is much safer. Clearly there's no logic in this excuse, just some bull**** made up to support this rule.

We tried to reason with him, but he just ignores us with a reply: "I don't care, you arrange your own transport" He always says that students priority comes first to him, yet he ignores us in this matter?

Fortunately, we found another place. A resindental area that provides enough space to park at the sides and it's legal to park. So, there we are, problem solved. But it was short-lived.

Since the discovery of this place, students have been swarming to this place to park, which disturbs the peaceful environment, till one old fart came out yelling at us, shooed everyone out and threating us to call the police. That old fart made another complaint to L, followed up by us as we tried to reason with him again because this rule is creating more trouble than it's been solved. This time, he accepts to discuss with us, but retaliate with lousy excuses and more bull**** to each reasons we gave like a kid. In the end, nothing was solved, and the discussion is 'postponed', meaning he cancelled the talk. Another good way to back out from us, that *censored*

We then decided not to care much about the old fart yellings and continue our routine, since it IS legal to park. But we got a shock one day after school when we find everyone of us were given a ticket from the police for traffic obstuction. This wasn't suppose to happen, the place we picked is supposed to be a legal parking place, yet we're given summons out from no reason from the police. It's quite clear that that old fart means business, but that wasn't suppose to happen. Again we complain to L about this matter, and as you can figured...yep he ignore us again.

Now we're forced to migrate our cars to another place which is much further and dangerous. We are constantly feared that our cars may be broke into or damaged by gangsters, and the road to that place is dangerous too, few people got robbed there. Didn't that f***er says this rule was impliment for the safety of the students? Well are we safe now? IMO, this guy has f*** up the whole school. Even the teachers feel sympathy for us, and there's nothing they can do either. I have been extremely mad at this guy who have failed his responsible as a school admins. and failed to listen to us as a school admins. Claerly he is ought to be sacked by the ministers...

[gravyluvr]

That sucks. That would never fly when I went to school.

We had a huge parking area. In fact, the area closest to the doors were reserved for seniors. Everyone had to have a parking sticker (the sticker had your graduating year on it). Juniors (and older Sophomores) could park on campus but not in the senior lot.

[vaudy]

Not to change the subject, but may I whine here?

My delightful landlords don't see fit to turn the heat up when it's 2º F (~16.7º C) outside (at noon, mind you), so my apartment is so cold that I need to wear gloves sitting at my computer.

@a55a55in

Tough luck.Same happened to me.The good side was that the rule came just 3 months before graduation,so I managed somehow.

[Mutare Drake]

@ a55a55in - that really stinks, poor you. And your classmates...hope something works out. My school and parking work like gravy's - we're allowed to (juniors and seniors that is), and for a while the seniors got the parking spots closer to the school (they decided to change that this year, so much for our "senior privalege"). Well, good luck to you a55a55in and all your classmates for getting to school (and back) safely and on time.

[Orfinn]

Glad that the school im going to begin at isnt like that, but there are other disadvantages though...

[Mutare Drake]

but there are other disadvantages though...

Uh-oh, like what?

The college I'll be going to is gynormous, but it's really expensive to bring a car, so I'll probably be walking everywhere. Some people get those little scooters or use bikes (and even unicycles!), but I think I'll rely on good ol' walking. At least until my feet fall off. Then I'll go for the campus-wide bus system, whee-hee!

[Kalah]

I say ignore him a while, continue your original routine and refuse to listen to him...

We've got parking issues too.. Here at the university, we have about 1600 parking spaces. And about 3000 cars. Well, as you can imagine, many students park wherever they can, and this fall the authorities decided to set up a perimeter; park illegal inside it, and you're fined. The parking people patrol here constantly.

Our problem isn't the lack of public transportation, nor the quality of it (which isn't very good). Our main problem is those cheap nurses and other people working at the hospital (right next to the uni). They won't buy parking licenses for the spaces at the hospital, so instead the steal our spaces. Making the number of available spaces go from 1600 to about half that. Murr...

We are currently trying to get the board to issue student parking license, so that the hospital employees can't park inn our spaces anymore, but it's been a year since the idea came up..

[Orfinn]

but there are other disadvantages though...

Uh-oh, like what?

Bad air in most classrooms resulting in headaches for some people after school, allergy etc. And the teen agers where I live isnt known for kindness and tolerance for other less social or silent persons, we are easy prey and they make it hell. Typical mobs. A sign that the instinct by freezing out induvidials in societies are a really bad mix. Oh and if you dont go to parties EVERY freaking weekend and if you dont smoke, wear pilot jackets, drink while with "friends" your OUT, a loner! Luckily its going to be better, it isnt as bad as it was, but anyway criminals roam the towns, the police have their hands full, short said.

[Mutare Drake]

That stinks Orfinn. Luckily, at my school and in my neighborhood, even though there are a bunch of morons (is there anywhere without some?), cliques aren't a bid problem, and there's not too much hatred or ostracizing if you don't go and get drunk or go to parties constantly. Heck, there aren't even that many parties.

[DaemianLucifer]

There are many places without morons.They are called deserts,high peaks and deep seas

[theLuckyDragon]

So anyhow. Breaking news!

The Palaedran, Great Arcanian and Aranornian stock markets have crashed and our little friends in the Auction thread are auctioning with GP as worthless as a rabid turnip with mumps. The kingdom of Nekross is still safe, for now, reports our corespondent ThunderTitan. One of our super-secret agents has been sent to investigate the situation in the Golden Sea, but many wizard analists of Great Arcan are still calculating and analysing the astral conjuctions to see if this crash will affect the space-time continuum and also alter the markets in the alternate realities also beginning with an A...

Stay tuned for more! Coming soon!
