It feels like my school finds something new to slap a policy on for every new semester . . . Ever since I was a freshmen they've been adding more and more rules and deadlines and systems and hoops to jump through and honestly I'm not even surprised anymore. It's so frustrating but at this point, I've realized that being frustrated with it isn't going to fix anything. I get the fact that lots of students are failing or not attending at all, but in my opinion adding more rules won't help that. Those kids who don't care aren't going to start caring when you add more rules, they were already willing to break the rules before, so the new polices won't change anything. The problem isn't that we don't have good enough rules, it's that the students don't care, no matter what the rules are. (I'm not talking about anyone in particular, I just know that this is why the school comes up with new rules) Meanwhile, those of us who do care and are trying really hard start to struggle more and more as things get stricter. I'm a pretty good student, so I'm not too worried about failing, but I can't imagine what it'd be like to be a kid who does care, but has a really hard time. In the end though, it's not to big of a change and I'll live through it, but it frustrates me to no end. I realize the admin have a different perspective, but from my perspective, this is not working. I'm just gonna keep reminding myself that I'm only here for another year and half.

Lol, your fine! All in good fun, right? I've never actually had walnut bread, but it sounds lovely! I quite like zucchini bread or banana bread (but mostly because of how sugary it is lol).

I ask this question to a lot of new sharders in their welcome thread, and this is by far the best answer I've ever gotten lol. I assure you they are very good when you give them a chance (especially toasted with cream cheese). What kind of bread do you think is better than bagels? (I'll admit here in America, we're not as fancy lol).

"Oh dear . . . do you think there might be survivors?"

ykwyrptmw you name all of your hunger games characters pretty much the same thing, and then you turn it into a lineage and give them lore

Welcome to the Shard!! What's your favorite kind of bagel?

Alun, in the background, had completely failed at picking the messenger boys's pocket. He was currently getting beat up by the largest one.

thanks!

Hello I'm back! I was finally able to get some nice pictures of the recent larger pieces I've been doing for school! @SmilingPanda19 in particular wanted to see them, so here they are! The first one: Close ups: Reference image: The second one: Close ups: Reference image: Both paintings are of buildings in the town I live that I took myself which is kinda neat! Anyway, have a good Wednesday!

Alun sneaks up behind them, trying to stay in their blind spot. He goes for one in particular, that has a pouch on his belt.

"I'm Alun, I'm decent enough at sneaking I guess."

PoMee listens to the instructions carefully, she's very excited for their first mission.

Merrin waited and watched as well.

"Yeah . . . a little, I'm trying to find this address." Alun shows the man the piece of paper Jade gave him.

. . .kay

lol

"Wha- okay . . ." He wanders off in the general right direction.

"Nah, is he important?"

*more confusion*

"Sure! Sounds fun! Who's this survivor guy?"

what did I just walk in on . . .

*confusion*
