<p>look, asking me whether or not im kidding is not gonna persuade me to “give my particular point a rest” lol, i still do truly believe in what i said but w/e…it doesn’t seem like you’re gonna believe me regardless of what i say or what information i offer so how about we just agree to disagree no?</p>

<p>“Maybe you should consider giving this particular point a rest and focus on how AA can help you.”</p>

<p>like i said before, i KNOW AA is inevitably gonna help me when applying to college (so relax and stop trying to shove that down my throat) there’s no getting around that. but i’d rather do better things with my time like you know, actually continue to work hard in school, stuff like that, as opposed to sitting around and figuring out ways in which i can use it to my advantage. you said a while back that a student wants to use AA but doesn’t want people to know that it may have helped them. for me personally its not a matter of people knowing whether it helped me, of course they already know its gonna help me! however i get upset when people feel its the ONLY thing that might help me. it makes all the effort you put into school seem practically worthless, which isn’t fair. </p>

<p>it’s funny that you say our class is like CSI, because that’s the exact way she described the class to us on the first day of school. the only forensics-related show on tv that i actually watch is Law and Order SVU lol. when we had to act out our crimes this past friday, my group was so bad lol we couldn’t stop laughing during it. but the best group so far actually did a drunk driving scene in the supermarket parking lot next to our school. the crime was already committed and the rest of the class basically had to figure out what happened, so one kid sat in the driving seat of the car leaning on the steering wheel with a wine bottle in his hand lmao and sunglasses over his eyes, while the other kid who played the victim laid down under the front of the car and pretended to be dead lol, and it actually looked pretty authentic…</p>
