Is anyone finding school/PC to be a hard combo?

[Acarr]

You don't type your work?

I don’t spend much time studying or socialising. The internet has too much interesting stuff on it to allow for those things.

I understand the studyin part, but was that sarcasm?

Not allowed.

Not at all. I simply can’t be bothered going out and spending time with friends. I see them enough at school.

We think the same there

[Acarr]

Hanging about having banters with friends is much more fun than sitting about bored on the computer all day. Besides school is really dull. But that's just my opinion...

@Jewish Candy: Wheeeey

[Xenon]

Nah I think it depends what kind of friends you have. When I was in school I always hung around with a group of "friends" who I didn't particularly like or get on with (although I remained part of the group because in school you need to have friends), and during those years I always dreaded the prospect of giving up my evening time to hang with them.

My life has changed a lot since my school years though. I now have a new circle of more reliable and consistent friends who I really enjoy going out with. Perhaps this will be the case for spiraldoor and Tenderz in a few years too.

[spiraldoor]

It’s not that I don’t have a reliable circle of friends, it’s just that I’m not interested. The computer is far less boring than real life.

[Haruka]

I confess that something similar to Spiraldoor happens to me, about watching known people at school. Watching them at school was enough, I wasn't interested in gathering with them out of school time (Unless it was things about school, like group works).

I'm sorry but, why hang with people you don't get on with?

Sometimes, in school, you don't really have much of a choice... God, Scotland can't be THAT different to England!

[Serza5]

No it isn't. I must admit i'm not the sociable type either...everyone here is just... urgh.

[Haruka]

Uninteresting people right?

The tastes of the people I knew were quite different, and they weren't gamers or interested people in Visual Arts and Tecnology.

[Serza5]

Indeed.

The very few gamers in my year don't play games I enjoy. And all the girls are into soaps and other crap on the TV.

It is exactly the same problem I confronted. Boys who actually played, it was the "typical games" like NFS, CS, and other bloody games. Platformers "For everyone"? Zero.

And the girls didn't touch in games. They prefered to know who is the bad guy in the vampire series, or who hangs out with who at school, etc etc etc.

Poor humanity.

[Cairnie]

Oh man the internet really dragged me down when I was at school, especially when I joined DA when I was like 15 - stop doodling or get shit grades THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

Nowadays I've got my part time job to concentrate on. I work small hours but at least I have an income, some of which I'm gladly saving. I'm just having a bit of trouble setting myself straight in general at the moment especially with my creativity outside work.

[Serza5]

I'm quite the opposite, while i'm still unsociable i've been a lot more talkative since i've been on the net, well i'm not sure if that's exactly the right word but before the internet I barely spoke a word, even at home.

[Danone]

How many people here are having trouble finding time to go on RPC during the start of this new school year? I sure am.

nothing, exept if I fail an exam

[Haruka]

In the last year school was really running out my creativity. With free time being spent at the group work on Project Area subject (which I had a very bad luck in my "partner". She didn't do anything, and I had to do everything by myself and pretending this was a group work. Plus she only caused trouble to the work and to myself. Grrrr... I'm glad this is over.), free time being spent in doing extra work for Multimedia Office B subject, reading the book that we had to read for Portuguese classes aswell studying it well for the national exam, doing extra drawing works for Drawing A subject in free time, studying for P.E. tests also in free time (Ooooh the horror), and to search for materials for the next classes of Arts Office and planify what to do (since there was a day that we had 4 followed hours of it) in free time.

I arrived often to home very stressed and I had days in I only could dinner, take bath and sleep.

Resuming, I was too focused on school. I'm glad this year is quite different.

[Matyuv]

studying for P.E. tests also in free time

Wait what? PE tests? What were those tests, exactly?

[Serza5]

Not sure about Portugal but here we have theory tests for PE, or so i've heard I myself didn't take PE as a subject.
