Best radio quote from the local political head. "We can't be repairing the same roads after each winter. It's time we start doing the paving properly the first time so we don't have to go back each year to fix it." Pot holes up here are a serious threat on the highways. It will destroy your car if you hit some of them at the wrong angle | ||

I've never seen this before. "The United States of America has approximately 6.43 gigametres of highway within its borders as of 2008." "Australia's Highway 1 at over 20 Mm" -> Mm being megametres Too weird. | ||

I have no plans to pursue post-graduate studies so my mentality has evolved to "Bachelor degrees are pass-fail". | ||

I've had classes where 70+ is a B and failing is like 45. | ||

The struggle is real. Yep of course. Senior year best example. Flunk first exam because dgaf. Kind of study and think you did okay for second. Then beg professor that getting above median on final exam warrants a passing grade. Sounds about right. | ||
