School's cool, fool!

Haha we're all like complaining about our schools but we should actually be very thankful that we don't live in war-torn countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq etc or poor over-populated countries like China where many schools don't come equipped with canteens and school bells and gyms and auditoriums and everything else we take for granted.
How would you like learning your ABCs while listening to the sound of gunshots outside your classroom !?? How can anyone do calculus when they know a bomb might drop on them at any moment at all and the whole place will go up in flames and some people will have "I died doing calculus" engraved on their headstones??!

Why would they even need calculus in the first place... I think first-aid or cattle-rearing will be more beneficial to them.

I think those are gunshot holes on the wall... Someone might have died in that classroom...

This is actually pretty cool... A classroom cave! They look Chinese so I guess that's in China...
Yesss so, appreciate what you have right now and make full use of it! And be thankful that we have cars and trains and buses to take us places, not donkeys. ;)

How to Cope with the Loss of a Pet Rock

(Found on some really awesome website with helped me overcome my grief)

Losing a loyal friend is always upsetting. Losing a Pet Rock is even worse, because you have spent so much time with them. They have been your constant companion and trusted friend. You could talk to them, and know that they would never tell anyone what you told them in secret. When they die, make sure they are buried someplace with lots of other rocks, so they will not be lonely.
Steps
  1. Bury your rock. If your rock has died, find a nice spot in your garden to bury him. If you have an area which contains a lot of other rocks, bury them there. Mark that spot in some way or another - burying an old spoon with the bit you eat off sticking out of the ground is an ideal gravestone.
  2. Remember your rock. If you have lost your rock, plant a flower in remembrance of them.
  3. Listen to really depressing music. Don't try to cheer yourself up for at least three days. You will drop back down to reality with a thud. Be really miserable. It is respectful to your rock. Slowly cheer up. That way,you won't get sudden pangs of mourning.
  4. Begin again. After at least a fortnight you can get a new rock!!!!!
Tips:
  • Classical music can make you really miserable.
  • Other things that can make you really miserable include homework, thinking about lost items, best friends who have moved away and how you never gave your rock a good life, and so on.
