I so hardly wanted Chile to eliminate Brazil, but it was all a matter of luck in the penalties. Our team showed a really good game against Brazil, even though we had some of our important players with problems on their legs (like Gary Medel). But well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Would've loved to win though

My great grandmother was Norwegian. Does that count?

I don't see how anything you mentioned will stop you from getting what you need from highschool, which is study skills and a basic background in the subjects that you'll be continuing afterwards.

That's the problem, I don't have any studying skills. Like, none.

As long as you get that and make the grade then it doesn't matter, relax, you'll go to college or get a job or do whatever you do in your country and this won't affect your life at all.

Of course it will, I'll grow up being an ignorant in certain subjects. For example, it already happened to me this summer that I read about one of Newton's laws which is supposed to be taught in first year of High School, and we never even heard it mentioned from our teacher. That's my problem, growing up not knowing everything I can know.

Yes it does matter. As I wrote above, I'll grow up not knowing everything I can know. And the worst part? They're taking away all of my family's money for this. For a shitty education.

Most likely being bilingual is going to take you further in life than knowing how to do a certain math problem or isolating isotopes.

It's not going to take me further in life, I'm sure. Yeah, I have the alternative of living in english-speaking countries, but how I do in my life has more to do with how good I am at what I do for living.

And if you do want to do something in one of those fields, study it on your own and then take university courses where you can learn more about it.
Many schools also have an option to take a university course for credit. Look into that. Not sure how Chile works, might be different there.

I had never heard of that. There's university courses for students, but I really don't know if I can get extra credits for getting into one of them. Anyway, I bet the price is waaay out of my range, so I don't want to even look it up. Thanks anyway.

Yeah, I was looking for some courses outside school a University is offering, but I don't know... Thanks anyway man.

All my life I've had people around convincing me that my school is good. It's bilingual, it's in a good neighborhood, it's full of rich son-of-bitches, it's bullshit. They have each excuse to miss study hours; Art day, British Week, School Anniversary, Student's day, Teacher's day, and I must be missing some.

I really am sad about the fact that my parents got me into this school just because of the English language, ignoring EVERY other important class, like Maths —in which we have only shitty teachers—, Physics —ONE guy for the whole school, who turns out to be a Physics graduate, not a teacher— Chemistry —one teacher is pretty decent, but the other one makes me want to take my guts out with a bread knife—, and the list continues, but I'm quite lazy at the moment.

Isn't it like a kick in the nuts to think that I've been wasting my life inside a shitty school in a disguise, and now I realize just before entering my second year of High School, so it's not worth it to finish my third and fourth year in another place. And you know the worst part? My mom thinks just as I do. The problem is, she also thinks that it's not worth it.

Discuss n' shit.

PD: Here we have all school years at once, in the same place. I entered this place at age 5 and I'll go out at age 17.

So I was looking for a good TCG made in Chile (so I can start playing something to replace Myths & Legends, another chilean game which ended a few years ago). Between a ton of stores, I found one which claimed to be "the next Myths & Legends". Couldn't believe it, but damn it was beautiful. Read almost the entirety of their website (the game is called Arkna btw) and was completely prepared to go buy a deck, but shit happened. I read the blog, and it had ended during September, 2013. All the local tournaments, all the community I could get to meet, everything was gone.

I really feel sad about this, I think it's because I desperately need a TCG/CCG to play. I mean, they're awesome.
Would you recommend me a good game to get started on? I was thinking of Magic: The Gathering, but I have my doubts.
Cheers.

I actually thought of this as a pretty good idea. Then you said "don't take it seriously", so I stopped thinking.

That's right, I'm Latin American. Do you have something like that in the US?

So, today I got a magazine that I hadn't read in a pretty long time (even though I really liked it). Let me tell you it was the best feeling when I started to read and felt in complete joy.
This is the one I bought. A latin-american (I think) official Nintendo Magazine.

Do you have a favorite magazine that you love? A collection maybe?

So I just had a terrible itch on my back, and as my arms are pretty short I used my superior intellect to scratch it with my laptop's battery. What's the weirdest thing you've ever used to scratch your back?

Yay causality!

Don't know why but I laughed a lot to this.

Merry christmas to you all! I hope you have a good time with your families and/or friends :)

I'm giving my older brother a comic book and my girlfriend a quite awesome necklace. Well, it's not actually awesome, but it's really nice (and cheap hehe).

Protip: Always look for gifts in the streets. There may be some cool stuff for a really low price.

You'd be surprised if you heard all we talk about things like that. The only problem is that she's more of a mathematician and I'm more of a humanist, so she always wins in Maths stuff and I always win in History, Grammar and that stuff.

Wouldn't say it's dead though. You couldn't be more wrong.

I wasn't asking that. Please read the whole thing.

So, yesterday I was having dinner with my girlfriend and her family and we started discussing about the route an airplane would take when travelling from Chile to Australia.

Her thesis: It would travel from West to East.
Her argument: The plane travel from the Occidental to the Oriental part of the map, so we start at the West and end up in the East.

My thesis: It would travel from East to West.
My argument: As the Earth is spherical, we can just watch a globe and see the route, as shown in the image below (used Google Maps instead of a globe bc it's easier and works anyway).

So, who do you think is right in here?

Dude, the universe is like so vast and enormous that it's hard to imagine it with the correct dimensions. Once I was talking with a friend what it'd be like to swim the Atlantic, and it was something ridiculously hard. Then we thought about how small the Atlantic is in relation to things like The Milky Way, or even the whole universe. We are so small that, at least for me, it is pretty hard to focus while imagining the universe. Holy shit it's big.

It's not like he is going to swim across the Atlantic all naked and shit. He just says that it's not good to have an excess of possessions.

Yeah, I support what you say about the brain activity ceasing, but I'd rather die with the memory of a wonderful lake in Norway than die holding a book (even if it's the best book written in human history).

At the end, it's all about personal preference.

I wouldn't say there's something wrong with them, because, as you just said, they give you an experience. But, as you also said, it's personal preference. For example, I'd rather visit Europe than staying at home solving a Rubik's Cube or making a piece of software.
