That's quite a bit of arrogance you have retained in that user name of yours there  .

Well first I attended Westmount SS with most of my current best friends but we all ended up leaving the last year because that school was terrible (sorry Chad, I know you went there and I actually remember you haha).
Then I went to St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic SS (and no you do not have to be Catholic or Christian to attend) which was a much better school. The classes themselves were actually harder/better taught with the goal of actually teaching students something. The difference was there were new deadlines and that got me actually working.
Westmount gave you too much freedom, if you didn't want to do work you didn't have to do it and by the time you realized the consequences of that it was pretty bad. From what I hear they are starting to change it slowly.

Haha you might have actually. I was on the football team and wrestling team when I first went but I got severe injuries from too much weight lifting + all the sports...in fact I havn't been able to lift weights for 1.5 years now...anyways I won't go on with my life story but its quite depressing and I'm glad I have a good life otherwise anyways. Weight lifting was like a passion...then you see all your hard work go down the drain because...of all things...you trained too much. heh...life.
