YES. THAT IS TRUE. I basically treat every class as "bullsh*tting in a particular field", especially since I take the IBDP and all we do is write insanely long essays. I suppose nuns are pretty easy to deal with if you know how to BS with the Bible. I get A+ in Christian studies all the time and I'm an atheist. It's an acquired skill. *nods*<br /><br />I am glad you like the term, because it is utterly random.

Because I adore, as we all know. <br /><br />See, I think the number one rule for all of school is basically just to be incredibly fabulous at bullshitting anything and everything. That is what I did, and school was a breeze. Also, it is helpful if you have a friend teach you how to properly suck up to nuns. This doesn't just help in Catholic school, no, this applies to life. Because apparently, if it works with nuns, it works with EVERYONE. <br /><br />Oh, and I took your survey, and I kind of wished there was an "ABSOLUTELY YES PLEASE" option for calling me a grasshopper.

I have a group of friends who are as competent as me--aka they're all a bunch of slackers and procrastinators, and we all stay up late to ramble to each other instead of studying. Oops.
