M. DeSade gave me a C- on my French paper!! WHY?? I swear, it's like... like, totally personal. He doesn't like me, I just know it. He-- he's always picking on me in class and IT'S NOT FAIR!

I'm never going to get into Stanford now!!

I need to study.

You could always go for a sports scholarship! Mr. DeSade has no power over those!

...do you play anything, Harry?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

...no. I should, though, shouldn't I? I mean, it'd be a great way to round out my activities on my applications.

I can dance.

[triplekill.livejournal.com]

Dancing? No, man-- you should join the football team. Football's awesome.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

But...

I could get injured. And then I'll miss class.

Seriously, it's one paper. Not that big a deal.

Though I hear he gives you an A if you sleep with him.

ONE PAPER CAN LOWER MY CLASS GRADE, WHICH WILL LOWER MY GPA AND KEEP ME FROM GETTING INTO A GOOD SCHOOL AND I'LL WIND UP WORKING IN A BOWLING ALLEY!!

that's... ILLEGAL!

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

You really think that one bad grade will ruin your life? You've got problems.

Yeah? Think he cares?

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

It's not just one bad grade! It's the beginning of a LANDSLIDE OF PROBLEMS!

Monsieur Saxon, I have expressed to you once already that it was a draft. Make the changes I have suggested and return it to me.

Monsieur McKenzie, you can think that over while you're in Detention for the rest of the week.

I assure you, your French paper is the last of your worries, young man. Your grasp of your native language leaves much to be desired, for someone interested in colleges whose names don't begin with "Community".

I will accept a 500-word essay for extra credit towards the rather dubious grade you received on your English exam last Friday.

- Mr. Redeker.

(OOC: Everyone received a dubious grade. >.> Paul would not be a good teacher. Ever.)

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

What?!

That's so not fair!

Yessir.

[swiss-gear.livejournal.com]

Ch'yeah. Who cares about Stanford? We all die in the end, so education is totally bullshit. So you get a degree...death doesn't care about that.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Because I have to succeed in life or my dad'll kill me and then I'll be dead!

[mistermonk.livejournal.com]

That's true.

Here's the thing...Standford's a really good school.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Really really good. My whole family went there. If I don't go I'll be a failure like dad always said!

[mistermonk.livejournal.com]

Well...not a failure.

...I want to go to Berkeley. Or maybe Harvard. I'm working on my scholarships already.

[k-lee-frye.livejournal.com]

I didn't do so well, either.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I think he makes fun of me in French.

[k-lee-frye.livejournal.com]

I don't think he's really like that. He's just tough.

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

I'm not terrible in the class; don't say that!

That... doesn't really help, thanks.

[lastpresident.livejournal.com]

What did you get wrong?

I could look over it for you if you wanted. I'm told I'm a good tutor

[soundof-drums.livejournal.com]

Uhmmmm... My paper looks like a red pen exploded on it.

Thanks, Romana! You're totally awesome.

[lastpresident.livejournal.com]

Well bring it over after classes and we'll have a look alright?

I'm sure it can't be that bad.
