I don't think you suck at languages, personally. Lol, well, I don't suck at English. I took French for three years and Latin for seven, and I don't know a thing about those languages. I couldn't translate a Latin text to save my life. I simply refused to memorize vocabulary or grammar rules. Maybe that means I don't suck at languages, specifically, but at memorizing things. I never memorized any English vocab, either. But if you're using it on a regular basis all the time, you tend to pick up what you need ;).
I actually don't think there's a country in the developed world where people like school, honestly. Well, not specifically like it. But when I spent 4 weeks in Canada in grade 11, I got the feeling that Canadian students at least accept the fact that school is their job. They go there, and they do more or less their best. Not that they actually loved school, but they didn't deny themselves the possibility of putting an effort into a certain subject of their interest simply because it would have made them look like a loser in the eyes of their peers. If you know what I mean.
I'll be lucky to be a resident in my early 30s I'll be the equivalent of a resident around the same age. However, I will not have a finished degree in journalism under my belt. Meaning that you will have finished two degrees in the time it took me to finish one. That's sort of depressing, if you ask me.
Yeah, school sucks. And I still really, really love your Calvin-icon ;D.
