Oh I see... Haha. Seriously though she's right. Grades mean shit in the real world. It's really all about who you know, as long as you don't completely fail.

This has been mark's random words of wisdom

[chick de la lynch]

Grades don't signify intelligence, but rather if you did your work. I know plenty of idiots who got A's and I would hardly call them smart.

grades are important if you're looking to do a masters or a phd. especially if you want to get a scholarship, which i will look into in 2012-13. i think most people know that grades aren't everything but academically they are a big deal if you want to get further education later on. i'm not well off financially so any $$$ is needed and if that means getting the grades then i have to get the grades. the thing is most of the people in my major come from well to do families and they didn't have to work crazy hours like i did to pay for things like film, processing, printing, framing, transport etc. i could have done so much better had i worked less but that wasn't a luxury i was able to afford. i did the best i could in the situation i was in.

I took two photo classes in one semester and that nearly killed my bank account. Film, photo paper, equipment, lab fees...it just adds up. I'm still in junior college, so you see a lot of the students going to school and working full time, which is admirable. Doesn't make studying or doing school work any easier. I really don't know too many people who rely solely on their parents' money. Most of them have jobs.

my friend worked 51 hours a week and did uni full time. it was crazy. she got okay grades (mostly a 70%-75% average). she's the smartest person i know. she's very perceptive. incredible mind. my lecturer was saying how her whole degree cost $500 back in the old days and here i am, thousands of dollars in HECS debt.

it's so fucking hard. you don't even know how it feels to have money because it never lasts long enough to appreciate it properly. i have this guilt complex now. i can't even spend money on myself to buy something i actually need.

I don't know how college tuition got so high. California has raised tuition this year and it is hurting a lot of students. I am positive I'm going to have to pull out a loan if I transfer to university. I can't pay it any other way.

Every time I pay for food, school supplies or my bills I get really depressed. I can hear my bank account shrinking.

last night i had a vivid sex dream about julian assange. perhaps due to reading about the detail of the alleged rapes, we very specifically had unprotected sex. in the dream i thought it was really amazing and meant we had a deep connection. BULLSHIT in reality. i get pissed off when people try to suggested that unprotected sex = true love. i've never had unprotected sex. i'm genuinely curious to know if it feels different but i think i would literally need the guy to be sterilised and present me with a clear STD test. does it feel different? tell me, oh sexually experienced ones.

i think that the sexy wikileaks dream was based on a recent accusation that i speak like him. of course i do. everyone who was raised in australia speaks like julian assange. maybe it was a reference to the way both of us kind of talk into our pallets and end up with a kind of muffled, nasal voice.

Unprotected sex feels different from protected sex in a good way. Condoms have pinched me in the past, which is not fun. I never viewed unprotected sex as something signifying true love. I have had it a few times in the past and I regret it just because it's one of the dumbest things you can do. It's okay if you're in a monogamous relationship, however, I was not. It was a fuck buddy relationship. My partner did get tested, though.

My good friend can't stand condoms. She absolutely hates them because they dry her out, so she tries to avoid them by all means necessary. She has her partners get tested immediately so that way she ditch the condom (She's on birth control). I think it's great she's having her partners get tested, but I still think she should use a condom just to be on the safe side. Birth control is not 100% effective.

unprotected sex is True Sex

it is flesh against flesh

it is your body connecting with your partner's

it is something very primeval, a condom would ruin it because it's a wall preventing you from becoming absolutely one with your lover

Haha, it is a typical male response.

If a guy spills out some romantic lines to you Mariam about not using a condom, then dump his ass. It's not worth it. Make sure he also doesn't pressure you into having sex. If he cares about you, he'll wait.

that's even worse. having unprotected sex with some random person. biggest mistake ever.

juan already tried it and i almost went through with it but my self-righteousness got in the way and my dad's nagging voice in my head telling me not to trust men.

i've only been having dreams about having unprotected sex with julian assange.

[Penicks]

you asked for opinions of those who had unprotected sex

i gave you my opinon and you gave me the "lol dats suhc a guy repons lul reel man kook for me!!!!" response, which put me off reasonably

i am never visting this thread again

Haha, a father's nagging voice is the last thing you want to hear before having sex! It's a good thing it was there, though and I'm happy you made the right decision. And as long as they're dreams, unprotected sex with Julian Assange is perfectly safe. Unless there are dream STDs, then I'm totally fucked. I'm a slut in my dreams.

oh for shame! i so wanted you here to begin with because we get along so splendidly...

and that was such a stereotypical response because we are constantly told about men being too lazy to wear condoms. you didn't even take into account the amount of people that get fucked up in more ways than one because of this 'true sex' theory you seem to have. i asked you how it felt (the physicality) to have unprotected sex. you gave me the emotional aspect of what it meant, which doesn't even make sense in our promiscuous society anymore due to the dangers of unprotected sex.

unless a couple is disease free and not sleeping around then go for it! but once again, that is not a reality in today's society.

[blixa]

i just realised how many people actually dislike me here. i'm not this disagreable in person. just saying. if penicks can say shit to rile me up (whether we're talking pubic hair, hairy legs etc) then i don't understand why i can't do it back to him. he throws a stereotypical answer at me and i throw one back at him and he's saying his anger at it is reasonable. it isn't, in my opinion. i'm not going to say anything further as it would be unfair because he's not going to come in here.

[bright lights, big city]

i like you, not like that means anything though.

[blixa]

it does!

i'm a very sweet person. i'm not kidding about that. i rarely pick fights with anyone. if alvarez came up to me and told me that global warming was bullshit to my face i would say, "okay. that's one opinion" and walk away. unless i'm at the pub and i've had a beer or two. i start to get all diplomatic and shit and i use words that are not in my vocab. i get a bit like...well, julian assange really hahaha.
