Replying to polu #polutropos What country has the best and what country has the worst?
Apart from countries that like, have no music apart from earshattering folk from the 30's like a few small african countries.
Russia was a really big dissapointment, I love the soundtrack to the movie "bratt" and "bratt 2" it's like cool russian punk/new wave but tbh apart from a few good songs not any single album blew me away, but I wouldn't say any country is the worst, more like dissapointing, because for example they had some very good classical music I hadn't heard, legitimately every country has some cool stuff to find
Russian classical music is great

I wrote my college application essay about swan lake

Interesting you have to write application essays for your college
that would've sucked, I could have done it, but it would've sucked
You can write a little bit to explain things that are otherwise unclear about your application if you have special circumstances or whatever, but otherwise, you do not have to write anything
I'll do you one even better
Canada does not have an SAT equivalent either

damn that's crazy
Grades, and a teacher recomendation letter
grades were just top 6 grade 12 courses* (the top 6 must include certain courses, so math if you are doing a math degree, etc)
Please do not clarify if that is just a you thing
I will now associate chilains with just randomly building treehouses

my lips are sealed
I guess technically a did an optional test the university I was going to ran for grade 12s, but they do not directly take the score against you
it only helps
Its pretty hard though and I only got a 41/100
Luckily, Ontario universities have a local student quota and I was probably on par/better than most people applying
Well, as long as you are here, you will be regaled randomly by Canadian things since I have to fight against the overwelming hoard of americans here from time to time
How hipster
