Homework - The Necessary Evil
Homework has been something that I personally never had to deal with very often. Most of my teachers in high school did their lessons in the first thirty of the 45 minutes we had in class, and then let us work on our stuff for the remaining 15 minutes in order to be available for questions.

Vaulting Over the Wall...
It has been a while, LiveJournal.
I'm sure everyone noticed, but the past few months of posts have been distant and, for lack of a better term, very angry. This happens sometimes, especially to me.
