The end of the term is nigh.

[Alec draws out the pause for a moment, before he continues.]

And whatever other overdramatic bullshit phrase people like to use in lieu of admitting that you're scared that you'll fail.

Perhaps if you spent more time studying and less time talking about it, you wouldn't be so far behind that it requires cramming.

[His voice is an arrogant drawl; he's poking at people because it amuses him to do so, nothing more, nothing less.]

Just a friendly bit of advice. Maybe you can use it when you have to repeat this year again.

You sound just like my Ma.

[foepas]

How regrettable. I'm certain I want nothing to do with her.

[streetsmarts]

Pretty sure the feeling is mutual, only I guarantee she could take you in a fight if she wanted to.

Come now Mr Campion, there's no need to be so harsh on your fellow students! It's a hard lesson to learn as it is; no need to rub it in.

[foepas]

On the contrary, if they haven't learned it by now they likely never will.

Alec, you're being a bit harsh. :(

[foepas]

Love is that.

[It might be harder to tell that he's taking the piss when he's doing it with text, but it's still pretty easy.]

[3potionproblem]

If I fail, I'm not coming back. Hard to care with that mindset.

[foepas]

One failure and you're done for good? How weak.

[3houseswatson]

I hope you see the irony in complaining about others who are complaining about studying. Sneering down your nose at the rest of the student body cuts into study time just as much, y'know.

[foepas]

I don't need to study just now.

Good of you to share your personal experiences for others to learn from.

[foepas]

What can I say, I'm a generous soul.

Except that I didn't need to experience it to approach the subject with a bit of logic.

[foepas]

Perhaps if you weren't so easily riled it would be so much fun.

Well, let's look at the statistics. All the recent journal entries are from people who profess themselves to be prepared from whatever tests they face. Or are talking about the ones who aren't as prepared.

So I'd say the ones who need to be studying, whether or not they are, sure aren't wasting their time complaining about how unprepared they are on the journals.

voice

[foepas]

If you haven't heard the complaining then you haven't gone anywhere public recently. Particularly not the library. It's hard to find anywhere that's not overflowing with people talking.

[stubbornskeptic]

That's a little rude, Alec.
Even if someone is having troubles, you shouldn't assume it is because they aren't trying!

[foepas]

It's better to assume that they're simply stupid?

[preanimator]

Honestly, don't you ever get tired of doing that?

[foepas]

It's the only way to cope with everyone else.

[its_cor_aline]

I'm not worried about exams. As long as you keep up in class, practice and do your homework it's not like it's hard.

[foepas]

Precisely my point. I'm glad you followed.

[arrogantalloy]

You know, you're level of drama you bring to the table when trying to start weird conversations is almost weirdly poetic.

Also makes you sound like an ass.

Again.

[foepas]

Oh no, the great Tony Stark thinks I sound like an ass.

[A snort.]

What ever should I do?
