going, going, gone

remember that kid in class who barely made it? and then flunked out?

have a new found respect for that kid.

my oxford dictionary... always has nice words for me:

 flunk out (of a student) leave or be dismissed from school or college as a result of failing to reach the required standard : he hadf lunked out of college.

«going, going, gone», as the amazing song by canadian band Stars...goes

and the not-less-amazing «the vanishing»!
