spring.. !?

at least it should be. March started and i already threw away the February piece of paper from the calendar :D

I should be glad that summer is coming soon, holiday’s almost here (well.. 4 more months..), no more school soon.. wait, did i say no more school..?! I am terribly wrong! I will not escape school to soon because some “beloved” teachers thought it would be a blast to flunk a large number of students last semester! So now i have to spend all March studying..

It’s unbelievable how pretentious some teachers are.  I am not complaining i have to learn, i am not complaining i have a stupid schedule, but i am complaining when a teacher has the nerve to ask us to learn some book by heart!
This kind of teachers make our learning system shameful.

I think - and i think many agree - that people are not robots and we shouldn’t have to learn by heart what teachers are teaching us in school. I think they should be more than happy to see that we understand their subject and write the exam in our own words, not theirs.
This is what the learning system is all about: understanding the theory and use it in practice. At least this is my opinion..

How can students enjoy college if our teachers are still this stubborn!?
I wish they would shove their books in the shiny place the sun never shines!

This being said… I’ll get back to studying..

smoking on the street

I was expressing an opinion some time ago, regarding “a normal country”. My opinion was: in a normal country, people don’t smoke on the street.
Little did i know that for some reason not everyone agrees with this…

I have been criticized by someone (who i assume smokes..) that I am not being reasonable. Where should he smoke? Only in bars? Only in his house? Should he quit?
My answer will be: yes, yes and (if he wants too..) yes.

For a non-smoker being on the street behind a person who smokes is really not the best place on earth to be. This is a reason some people don’t smoke: they would like to avoid it! I don’t mind is someone smokes, i even let them do this in my house and in my car, but if i am taking a nice refreshing walk i would like it to be smoke-free.

There are parents walking their children or taking them to school or whatever - the kids don’t need to feel the smoke of the person in front of them..
There are pregnant women on the street - they need clean air to breath, not smoke.
There are maybe people who are trying to quit - the last thing they need is to feel some cigarette smoke.

These are my thoughts for a perfect country. I know life is not “pink and fluffy”, but if i had my own little world, i would only let people smoke if there was no one else on the street, because it bothers…
