I'm sure she doesn't need to.

**Mari** · 09-01-2008, 06:43 AM

I don't need to what? Fool people?

Anyways: almost time to go to school! A new episode in my life is about to start.

The last sane person · 09-01-2008, 03:51 PM

Heh.. No worries OH, there is plenty left for you. I just had one of my steaks and a slice off the rib rack. I've got extra waiting to be put on, if worse comes to worse.

OldHippie · 09-01-2008, 10:38 PM

Shall I bring a nice botlle of wine or a 12 pack????????? Good Luck on your latest chapter Mari, You will do just fine ya know 'eh.

**Mari** · 09-02-2008, 09:20 AM

I do seem to do fine ^_^ I think I may have made some sort of classroom friend. Yay!
The classes today were fun and I'm starting to get less scared of some of my classmates.

Oh! Tonight I'm going out with my parents, grandmother and my great uncle and aunt from South Africa! I'm really looking forward to it, because it's been a while since I last saw them.

YG, are you alright? I'm glad you're still here. *tackles YG*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-02-2008, 11:48 AM

Have fun.

And that applies to all of you returning scholars.

The last sane person · 09-02-2008, 11:49 AM

*tackles Sis*

Fun? Nevah!

***Varnafindë*** · 09-02-2008, 12:34 PM

Fun? Well, it can be. Sometimes. Occasionally. Once in a while. On rare occasions

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-02-2008, 01:09 PM

I mostly have/had fun in school.

Rosie Gamgee · 09-02-2008, 01:12 PM

Hi, people. *drops in*

Can someone help me?

I've been looking and looking for this thread that once existed (I'm talking, maybe a few years ago) about whether or not Balrogs had wings. I wanted to read it again, and now that I'm searching for it... I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone know what happened to that thread--am I just missing it? Anyway, it had to have been in the Middle Earth forum or in the LotR Book forum... I don't remember.. Help? Anyone?

Thanks.

I think that statement pretty much applies to most people...if they are social/have friends/or just like learning

haha, but yeah, i agree, school is really dull, but really if you make it that way. I guess its just your attitude toward school. I enjoy school, most of the time, it gives me something to do lol.

School for me just opened on the 25th of August. I like my classes, for the most part. All but SAT Prep (its such a joke). I decided not to take as many honors classes, and no AP. I need to increase my class rank so that I can be in the top ten percent of my class to get into Maryland State Univ. So now Im in class with a bunch of goobers

, hahahaha, they are all right, i presume hahahahaha. But I pretty much get along with everyone!

Anyway, I got really off topic, I was just agreeing that I have fun in school aswell.....for the most part.....

**Mari** · 09-02-2008, 02:50 PM

I think I know the thread you are talking about. I've read it once a while back. Not sure where it is though.
Nice to see you in here! How are you?

Did you mean this one or perhaps this one?

**Mari** · 09-02-2008, 03:24 PM

I like school. I like learning new things. But there are just a lot of classes that have so much potential but fail to deliver.
I'm just glad I have the opportunity to study to my hearts content though. ^_^
I'll probably keep on learning in the evenings even when I have a job

I mean, I want to learn to speak Russian, Arabic, more history and some theology. Among other things

Im the same way, about learning new things atleast. I am always trying to learn something new. I love understanding as many things as I can that interest me, and even if they dont, I still know it

haha. Culture is my big thing and philosophy. Jean-Jacques Rousseau is like my new favorite person...ever.

This autumn's A-levels, I'll write Geology and Swedish (the only bloody reason for the latter is that I can't do Maths - I can't think logically!

) Last spring, I did Philosophy. Geology is just... interesting. To understand how the very Earth works, how the tsunami come to be, what are the orographical winds... (did I get that o-word right?)

Why exactly do you like Rousseau? I really don't remember any dudes from my Philosophy classes. I don't care what someone used to think, I make up my own philosophy.

And, in any case, none of the philosophies that have been made up will work. You just have to grab the good parts and to... OK I'll be nice... to trash bucket with the rest.

Anyway, next spring, I'll just do English and mother-tongue. That is, Finnish... wonderful...

Oh dear... am I turning evil? Just this feeling I've got...

Not by thinking your mother-tongue is wonderful, at any rate - and praising the Finnish language on a Tolkien board is only appropriate.

If there are other reasons, I really couldn't tell.

Amael · 09-04-2008, 02:07 PM

I think the last time I was active, the Teacup was still only 28 incarnations in age. Now it's 31!!! How long on average does it take to complete 1000 posts in one of these (and how many margaritas)?

I love Geology aswell, like earth science, kinda the same thing. My step father is a geologist. I find it so interesting how the earth works and all, or we think we know how it works

. But anatomy is really what gets me. Everything about the human body fascinates me, above anything else.

Rousseau....Rousseau....what is it about him that I am attracted to...? Well many things. I am currently reading his Discourse on Equality. Its basically like a Man vs. Nature type of thing, to put it in the simplest of words. I find truth in a lot of things that he has to say, I cant really pin point it exactly...Philosophy to me, is much like Astronomy. You think you have the right answers only to be proven wrong...again...and again. I like making up my own philosophies too. And of course, they are always right
