1. That I'm overwhelmed with teenage drama, and punch someone in the face.
2. That I fail the way my grade 10 math teacher said I would, and waste thousands of $$ in the process
3. That I'll move 3 hours from home, my dad's inoperable aneurysm will finally pop, and I won't be there.

Farrell. Never had Daoust. Farrell, Puccini?, and DeThomasis were the only Math teachers I had at 'beuf.

DeThomasis is still there. I think Daoust was the best math teacher I ever had. Never heard about Farrell or Puccini.

There were A LOT of complaints from parents about Farrell. I think she got transferred a year or 2 after I left because of it. and Puccini was pushing 60 when I was there, so I guess he retired.

Agreed, this thread is definitely depressing. But seeing all the concerns other people have, it makes you feel like you're not alone. It actually helps in some way or another =], for me anyway

Nice on the football, too bad you choose Arsenal though
1. Losing my one big scholarship (means a new burden on me)
2. Proving (notice, not "finding out", because I already suspect that...) my highschool did not prepare me for the classes.
3. My own LAUNDRY!!! AHHHHHH! (Unless I can form a "Students against the unnecessary use of water" Campaign, and actually get a following... I suspect not though)

1. Group projects. I had 3 last year and got stuck with the worst group ever. Had to do the whole assignment alone.
2. Running out of money for rent, food, and books.
3. Not having my car this year.
4. Getting distracted from my studies by personal situations.
