Lol, because school ends when Summer begins, and it begins again when Summer is over. Unless you go to school in England, where school ends half way through Summer.

Building off of what Archie said, I told a friend this when a dog very dear to her died at just a year old- a pet well loved and well taken care of only experiences the best parts of life. They have life-long friends (which are so, so rare) and no worries at all. That dog enjoyed life with you more than any of us will enjoy our own lives, no doubt about it. I can't emphasize "you" enough in that last sentence either, dogs are intelligent pack animals and they really do love you as much as you love them.

Sorry for your loss. It's very sad but like Archie said, surely he had a happy life in your company too. You have great memories of him, as he would have of you.

^ Last thing sajo said. You can be happy in the knowledge that any relationship with a pet with so much obvious love would have made a good life for any pet.
A good life is one to remember fondly, and even though it hurts like hell now, you'll have all the memories to smile about in a few years when they cross your mind.

Sorry to hear that, I remember how I cried for every pet I lost. The worst... was watching one of them suffer from a disease, in front of me. There is nothing more painful.. when there is nothing you can do about it.

Sorry for your loss, bro. I've loved every dog I've had, there's just something about the bond between man and dog that's tough to explain. He looks like he was a real good dog.

I got 6.5/7 in my first semester of uni.
I'm studing Multimedia Design at the University of Queensland, St. Lucia campus. I'm hoping the courses will start to get a bit more practical soon. The theory of design is dumb. Basically "think about what you're making before you make it" repeated a billion times in different words each time, as though it's not obvious.

My dad had a similar injury. He was driving on a motorcycle and something happened that forced his heel to slide against the floor, the sole of his shoe was torn apart in seconds and next was his heel, which actually came off, he had to go pick it up, get to the hospital, and get it sown back on D:

Well i loved the idea but :
You are using only one texture for the floor , walls and everything.Use more textures. Add some details or something. Also use models - where fire is use some good model. Add ambient (sound)

4 is a perfect GPA in Tet's region, if I recall.
As for my September...I live on the other side of the world where school starts in February, however I'm already well out of school so I'll just be working, as usual

Going for Electronic Engineering at the University of Hartford. Connecticut, USA.
I work full time so i can only take 2 classes a semester. But my current classes are Differential Equations and Advanced Technical Writing. I got a 4.0 last semester, and my overall GPA is a 3.64 so I'm Hoping those classes don't kill me because I'd REALLY like to graduate with honors - Makes getting into NASA a wee bit easier.

For me it starts in October. I quit the idea of going to Automatics&Computers and instead I'm going to Electronic Engineering and Telecomunications. Should be fun.

I would be going to uni, except I didn't get my applications in and I need another course credit for the programs I'm looking at. So I'm going back to my high school for a semester to pick that up as well as a couple of extra classes that interest me.
What worries me is that, since the province is getting rid of the ability for students to go back after grade 12, other, younger, students won't get the same opportunity. Which is stupid, because I literally NEED this credit, and I'm sure others will be in the same boat down the line.

I can walk honestly. I just can't walk for more than 15 feet without my heels becoming uncomfortable. Basically I just gotta take it easy, rest whenever I can. I can stand, shower, drive, walk a bit... So I'm not in a cast or anything. But by the end of the day my ribs hurt. Crutches suck.

If you want us to 'disregard the fact that it is an aim map', that means 'disregard potential gameplay', right? Right.
Architecture: It's small, blocky and has no unique detail. Crates do NOT count. 0/5 Lighting: None. (Must say I'm also confused about how you've got red and blue lights is what appears to be a fullbright map.) 0/5 Texturing: Five textures that I can see, all of which are largely repeated, andare not complimented by the brushwork at all. 0/5 Ambience: I can't say, because I haven't checked. But I'm guessing none. Gameplay: aim map. 0/5
So yeah, there's your critical reception. Being an aim map is no excuse to be slack on the visuals. Your other maps are better (obviously, seeing as this one is a first map).
Unless you go to school in England, where school ends half way through Summer.
I feel your pain and your loss.
May he rest in peace away from sickness.
Videogames, TWHL, piano, beer, baby birdies.
Not necessarily in that order.
My condolences to you.

I'm sure that Marty had a great life beside you.
I see a lot of people doing more hardware related courses, I'm going to do a BSc too Penguinboy.
I'm working just across the river in South Bank.

However I have never broken a bone, thankfully.
Penguinboy is correct

Map looks promising

If you can all map circles around me at least I can shoot you in the face, right?

Butt hurt? Most likely, yes.
