Of course it's difficult.
Doesn't mean that's bad. :)

I crack very, very, very easily under high pressure. Although that may be because I'm almost always under high pressure, and added shit usually is the straw that breaks the camel's back...
So, yeah. It could be very bad for me.

Then don't go to a high pressure school. And don't get tangled up in social relations. :p

Easy. Don't seek to learn... but learn to seek.

Just observe stuff all the time. Seriously.

A Small Treatise on the Great Virtues by André Comte-Sponville might be a good read for you. You could also try out The Little Book of Philosophy by the same author.

That is fast. Doesn't florida make you drive a bit before taking the drivers test?

I'm in my 20s, so I don't see why I should have to wait like a 16 year old. I know in Maine after 21 you can just walk in and take the license test no questions asked.
