Oh, I'll pass, that is for sure. But I want to keep my scholarship next semester as well so I need high grades.

What do you mean? If they're acceptable but not too high, you couldn't keep studying anyway?

@Panda: Yes, he can. But then he'd have to pay the costs of tuition on his own (without the scholarship). And that could be costly.

Yes, the tuition fee is an issue as well, but it's minor. What I was actually referring to is a sort of extra scholarship the Uni awards students with excellent results. Like a sort of pocket money.

@tLD: Oh ok, I see!

Well, in my case, I get an academic exemption in addition to the normal scholarship. Said exemption pays my credits, so I end up having a decent amount of pocket money as well, even after buying books and other college necessities.

It pays to have good grades!

Aaahh, that's so fancy.

Here, if your family is poor, you receive a "congratulations" from you parents. If you're rich, they give you a car or something. Too few Unis have that sort of program for their students, and they're mostly particular.

It's almost as if they were saying: "Now you have a car. Get a job to use it!"

Taped up my ancle yesterday. Had some pain, swelling etc. Anyway, took the tape off just now. Ouch. Ow. The pain.

Remembered I did the same thing when I twisted my ancle about ten years ago, and on that occasion I shaved my leg. I'm definitely shaving off that hair again tomorrow before I re-tape the leg...

Hey, if you didn't study hard enough to/didn't think of getting a scholarship to one in another country it's all your fault... i mean you've lived 18 years here before so you should have known how it's like...
