@Vaskez: just pulling your leg a bit.

I always typed my papers full of errors on the first draft and just bothered correcting them later. I still have my own share of typos (thank Ziroc for the new preview post!)

@Sazerac: I agree fully about needing to modernize the school calendar. I taught at university for a couple of years and the first thing I did was revamp the review process for my math students. No longer did they have to suffer through 1 full week of reviewing what they forgot last semester/year because I boiled it down to a 3-page review; they either read it and caught up or didn't (which was not my problem, in my view). 1 week may not sound like much but a college semester is only 14 weeks (13 if you remove the week for finals).

In general, school is just a place to learn how to learn. Study what you like, sit through the subjects you dislike with quiet grace, and pursue your goals as best you can.
