Pierre the Great Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 yikes what a nightmare that was. Living under a cloud for basically 4 years (this whole mess started back in '03 of my junior year in high school, thanks to a dumb teacher). well I can proudly say, I've graduated and on to University now either BC or Seattle which ever one takes me. To bigger and better things I guess. finally. fin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Congrats. It isn't as easy as everyone thinks. What'll you study? Some degree in relation to international politics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Congrats. It isn't as easy as everyone thinks. What'll you study? Some degree in relation to international politics? Actually if I go to the Seattle school then yes. I'll get a degree in International Relations. BC school, destined for Urban Planning and or lawyer.

Pierre the Great Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 as much as I love politics, and anything political, I can't do it as a career. Who wants to be labeled a "career politician." Not I but I do have political aspirations of some kind, I would be lying if I said I didn't. The Seattle school is a Liberal Arts intensive university. Its pretty darn good for politics, a lot of politicians came from there. There main teachers are ex Labour MP's. Ambassadors visit. The King of Norway comes (its a scandinavian school). I'd study abroad in Norway and study government for a semester or two. I'd travel Europe etc. I very well could pass that up for the BC school. Yeah that sounds crazy especially since its always been my dream. But I just don't see me doing it, I'd be super stressed out as is and I've realized most of my politics is fueled by anger. That's not good. So yeah, basically I'm like passing up a super model for a really really nice girl, but no supermodel. I'm fine with that. My giant ego can take a chill pill, for now.

JLP Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Congratulations PTG, sounds like you've had to work hard to get where you are, taking care of your family and delivering papers while studying, mahn lots of high schoolers spend their time smokin' joints and tossing a frisbee, so good for you for getting through. Hope you get into BC for Uni -- there are some great frisbee players in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO :hlogo: GO! for me? not really. I'll go as far as I can go, because I'm really really really good at to subjects geography and everything associated with it or politics. If I chose geography then I'd want to get into SFU or UBC for my masters and then heck why not go for the PHD. If I chose poly sci then its law school I rather go with A, because its less stressful on the PTG. Yeah Maca, if I had graduated with my class that would have been in '05 and I'd be 18 going on 19.

Ended up that my dad went in to the school and set that woman back a mile or two(he wasn't kind to her!!!!!) College was great too..... but life moves on and all is relevant to the time and moment.

BTH Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 My best years in school so far have been Grades 6 & 9. This year has been a bit of a rough one but the second half has been better, for sure. Life is good. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
