Ever walk into a room and everyone quiets down and huddles closer?

Ever get assigned to a group and some one cries out in anguish when they find out your part of thier team?

Ever tried talking to some one and they frankly ignore you and refuse to talk to you?

I love going to school...

That swhy i am going to a college to get my Airframe and Powertrain certificate.

What i dont like is the High school attitude of all the students in my class... Far too many act like this is just high school and they can be as childish, or they think its like a sorority or fraternity and they can do what ever they want.

but thier train of thought is erred..

There is no football team, no cheerleaders, no sports whatso ever, No band, no extra curricular activities, no joy club, no chess club, no muscle car club, no Auto shop, no theology, No art classes, no detnetion, no principal, no toga parties, no keggers in the dorms, no hazing, no bars build specificly cause the school is there. No grudges against other schools, no Rivals, none of it. It is Not a Typical college.. It is considered a Trade school.

To give you an idea of the difficulty of the school.

40 people start a class..

5 will time out in the first 3 weeks.
And at the end of each 5 week block, 2 quit.
There is 17 blocks. people will fail classes.
out of the Maybe Original 40.. 6 will finish the school.. And out of those 6. 1 will go on to take the A&P tests.

1 out of 40.

The college campus is so small, in less than 10 minutes i could run around the perimeter at least 2 times, if not more.

Additionaly, due to its relations with the FAA, they have a Zero tolerance on drug and alcohol abuse.

Come into class drunk? Your out, no returning.
Get High? Your gone.
Assault another student? Yer outta here.
When you take the Final test to get your A&P certificiate, you take a drug test.. of those that take it about 1 out of 20 come back Hot for drugs.

SO, I look at this and take my schooling rather seriosly, cause frankly when you screw up on an airplane, People Die.

You screw up on putting a tire on, lets say a car, the car 'Might' roll or the car might just go to the side of the road.

You screw up putting a tire on a 747 the aircraft noses down breaks apart and you KILL 200-500 people.

You squeak by and put a body panel on a car with bailing wire, its okay,

Do the same to an aircraft and the aircraft is likely to be uncontrollable.

So when i work on an aircraft I am extremely focused. I pay attention to details. But what scares me is the lazy attitude of my class mates. I know that I can do the job, but what about them? I might do the job perfectly and they screw it up and kill people.

Looking at those facts, you realize WHY I take the school seriosly. You see why i get frustrated... But it only aggrivates the matter further when people decide to take the high school attitude of not liking some one cause they are weird, even tho they might know alot more about the subject than them.

My class mates groan everytime i start to say something. My class mates tease me non stop about having worked on a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter. they complain when they have to work with me. Because they have yet to grow up. I tire after Years of everyone complaing i tend to get annoyed.

I know i have problems, but Dammit, so does everyone else.

But Thats school.. There is other things that frustrate me.

I have a drawing sitting in my bag that was started to color in.. but I dont have the heart to finish coloring it in... Not yet. I dont know if I will.

I am starting to grow exausted of furries. Everytime i try to have an RP it seems either they dont want to play or they suddenly have to have thier Kidney removed. Or they are busy they say, or forgot, or simply dont feel in the mood for an RP, Despite commenting about they are busy with RPs. Or saying they dont have any then not wanting to join some. or perhaps for some reason.

That, and As i Have saide before, I am tired of Hi yiff me furs, Its nice having yiffs occasionaly, but i like my yiffs with a story behind it, AT LEAST an attempt. Not "Okay we meet in a forest and then i yiff you."

Another thing i crave is Originality. I cant count the number of times some one wants me to play Carmelita, Krystal, Minerva, Lola, or a Number of other cartoon characters, or even when there are ones who use the name of a famos fur as thier own yiff toy. Like Poor Zig Zag. I like Rping with peoples original Characters. ones that are a part of them, not a throw away character that they put absolutly NO effort into.

Also on the list is plot lines. Having Rps Preplanned out is ANNOYING as all hell. To me there is NO reason to RP if you already have an idea of what you want done, "Well we go to the castle, I save the princess.. aaannnd you yiff the dragon into submission while I and the princess rule over the land in bondage gear".

Be Spontanuos for petes sake. Its not that hard to just RP a General idea. The bst RPs are the ones that arent orchestrated from start to finish. If i wanted that, I would have joined broadway, Not IRC.

I'll Close this Mega Rant with these thoughts.

Grow the F*&^ Up. = If you dont like some one, TELL THEM! And tell them WHY! You might find out if you look past that that the person is pretty cool.. but has quirks.

Be honest with others and yourself. = If you go about telling yourself your something your not, it might not always be good for you. Especialy if you do it too much. I personaly have aproblem about bragging that i have forgotten more than most learn, but thats because A.) its true and B.) I am trying too damned hard to impress everyone ((to no avail i eventualy realize, sitting outside in the cold.))

Set Priorities. = right now I have SEVERAL problems with RL, so my Time Online seems rushed and not very effective for me. But there are reasons, i wont Bore you any more with why, but lets say its enough to cause a ton of headaches and frustrations.

Relax = This weekend I am going to try and relax. So that I dont go completely Insane. I will have a few tense moments but they will pass.

Sorry to bore everyone with my tome of ranting, but I had to get it off my chest.

maybe when I finish school and get settled into my job next OCT alot of these problems would have solved themselves.

See ya At the Looney Bin
