    Final exams always seem pretty important if you happen to be the one sweating them.

    True, but in the scheme of the world who knows?.

    Finished my Marketing exam, nothing in it I wasn't expecting - will be annoyed with myself if I get below 85%. Each paper has 3 assessments, a two hour test a major assignment and a final. Going in I already had 52% of my final mark i.e. 52/60 with the final being worth 40%. Som I was lucky enough to go in with no stress to worry about. Time will tell.

    Getting rid of disabled children and senior citizens saves a TON of tax money for social welfare programs.

    Granted.
    But you also end up paying for the "privilege" in a roundabout way through increased health care premiums.

    I paid A$1819 (USD1328) for two people this financial year for full coverage. That's less than a quarter of the US average of $2823.24 per person.

    Last minutes of 2015, probably the saddest year of my life. I want to thank to all those who stood by me in this period and wish you a happy new year.

    To those whom I was wrong I ask forgiveness.
    To those whom I have been helpful, I wish I could have done more.
    To those whom I neglected, I ask understanding.
    To those who helped me I thank from my soul.

    Mm, saddest? Perhaps... 2016 will be slightly less sad!
    Will it be?
    Perhaps!
    In my mind it is already right now slightly less sad than before, dear gadjo!

    No, Jens. For me 2016 will be worse.
    Matter of fact it already started the wrong way.
    But I've learned to survive, I'm stronger than I ever thought.
