I would have taken her arms off of me except that she gets bullied a lot and a couple of boys called her disgusting during class the other day. I will risk getting sick again, I guess... Haha, yupppppp. I never have the heart to tell the unpopular ones when they're being disgusting. When a cool kid is being gross, though, I let them know and make sure to let them be an example of how not to cough.Completely 100% unrelated: I genuinely wish I could quit smoking, but I just don't have the will to do it because I enjoy it so much. I generally spend the last 50% of my day looking forward to the cigarette I'll have when I get home. Sucks that it's so bad for you and such a gross smell on your clothes / breath / hair / everything.Have you tried an E-cig... those shops are everywhere now but I know it doesn't give the same satisfaction to some. It a hard habit to break, but the easiest way to quit smoking, is to break the habit that leads to smoking...For example, if you are a social smoker, and start smoking around people who smoke, or smoke while you drink... then to quit the smoking you are going to have to quit the other that leads to it.Maybe find something else that gives you satisfaction right when you get home... chronic masturbation worked for me... but not its cause issues....

This rant happened about a year ago and I just thought of it and got annoyed all over again. When I as a student and the teacher wanted us in teams they would always go through and give us a number and say "Okay all the 1's sit here, all the 2's sit here..." etc. I tried that with my class when I was new and didn't really understand their levels and their brains literally all exploded. There was so much commotion that my old coteacher had to come out of hiding in the little private room attached to my classroom and sort it out.

Due to Korea’s abandonment of the 2020 GHG goal, along with steep increases in greenhouse gas emissions and financial support for coal-fired power plant exports, the Institute for Climate Change Action (ICCA) announced on November 6, 2016, that South Korea was now in the basket of the four biggest “climate villains"
When it comes to domestic climate policy Korea was the only country to shift radically into reverse in 2016.
Why do Koreans eat chicken and beer? Chicken, waffles and beer is the right way!

Burning so much coal is really bad for the environment. It makes the air so dirty. Why would Korea want to increasingly use coal as an energy source? To save money?

In order to raise its fuel self-sufficiency rate to 60% by 2020,[25] in 2010, KEPCO acquired the Bylong Coal Mine in Australia from Anglo American PLC.[26] Also in 2010, KEPCO bought a 20% stake in Bayan Resources in Indonesia, thus allowing the company to raise its coal self-sufficiency rate by 7 million tons annually from 2015.[27] In 2009, KEPCO bought a 1.5% stake in Indonesia's Adaro Energy, thus securing 3 million tons of coal annually.[28]
Are you being sarcastic or do you geniuinely believe that most of the pollution here comes from China?and your username reminded me of what's going to be my rant for the day - stole an Ediya coffee stick from the 4th grade teachers' office at my school because i've run out of my personal stash of coffee. turned out to be decaf. instant karma i guess

Vicious circle. I actually did stop for a while and changed to an e-cig, was doing really well, but then my CT happened and well things have been down hill from there. I have been promising myself that I need to join the gym for winter..... procrastinating like a mother f*%ker on that one. *screaming at myself* JUST DO IT ALREADY
