KnowsNothing- I can't tell you how often I don't go to the bathroom at school, and for reasons other than weed smoke.

Bill: I'm taking every honors class my school offers and I still love it.

Meh. I don't go to the bathroom much at school either. Not for any particular reason, except I don't like public anything. Public = not for me.

Are you a sophomore, mouse_clicker? If you can take Advanced Placement courses in the next year or two, then do so...

AP classes require you to pay attention in class and know how to bs papers very well, but thats all it takes me. That is to say, the AP elective classes, like Human Geography, US History, etc. As for AP Maths, sciences, and languages, they really take an assload of work to pull off.

Bill, I'm in Honors English 10, Honors Advanced Programming, Chemistry (which is normally a junior class), and Honors Algebra II (which is also a junior class), and I have A's in all of them with little to no stressful work. The only honors/AP class I didn't take at my school was AP World History, because I didn't see the justification of the extra workload and "learning", and everybody I've talked to in the class has said it's not only pointless and unnecessary, but incredibly difficult as well. I quite simply don't see the added benefit I'm going to be getting from having a class like that. In my normal World History class I have something like a 110%. My teacher constantly tells me I should be in AP, but I constantly tell her I don't see any reason to.

Heres a reason, if you make a 3,4,or 5- depending on the college, at the AP exam it counts as a credit.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #106 on:** November 03, 2003, 12:36:10 PM »

Several reasons that doesn't matter to me, manunited- one, I doubt any college I'll go to will accept that as college credit, two, I doubt ANY college would take a sophomore world history class as college credit, and three, I hope to Klep out of history anyway, and if I don't, I certainly won't mind taking the class, as I've always enjoyed history.

God, I was soooo bad in high school. I barely scraped by the whole time. I'm not stupid, I just was bored and absolutely hated it. In 10th and 11th grade I was constantly screwing up school by doing...uh, well...I'll just say bad stuff.

Junior high was better for me. 8th grade was the best. I was pretty happy that year. Highschool was pretty depressing for me. I just hated it. Life is so much better once you graduate and get the hell away from all the bs that ensues in that environment.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #109 on:** November 03, 2003, 01:38:51 PM »

Yeah, then you go to college, Ms.Pikmin, which, as I understand it, is much more stressful than high school could ever hope to be.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #110 on:** November 03, 2003, 01:46:54 PM »

So true... ;_____;

I'm currently working on two labs due this week, not to mention studying for a quiz and 2 tests...

*sigh*

Meh, a friend of my sister's started college as a junior, is triple majoring, is taking 24 semester hours, and has an A in all his classes- the guy's a @#%&ing genius. O_O

I think high school is socially way more stressful. In college you realize that all the social crap that went on in high school was in no way important to the rest of your life. I felt like I had been released when I graduated. College is better. You have alot more freedom to get the hell away from the type of people that made your highschool life hell. They also don't seem to want to purposely get after you as much.

I don't get the system there in the US (but please, lets not discuss it. We had a HUGE discusssion somewhere in the Aussie thread).
Uni is heaps cool, depsite having to hand up 4 major assignments on the same bloody day. Last thursday, I go into my LAST CLASS EVER for this year, and my tutor tells me that the assignment is due today, not friday like i thought and i'm like wtf. So i had to spend the whole day finishing it off, then email it to him. I hadn't started my other three assignments that were due friday, so i only did two of them. I just did my last one over the weekend and handed it up yesterday morning at 7am.
And now, I am freeeeeeee! And there is the MAtrix marathon on Wednesday!
Simultaneous Matrix Revolutions release around the world!

Uni is cool, cause the tutors are cool (so far), and we all get along like mates, unlike at school when some teachers expect you to worship them like they are thy God.
Uni's prolly really cool for me cause i have NO exams whatsoever for any of my subjects.

I'm taking all the AP courses available at my school. . . and two classes that are harder, but not considered Honors: Physics (I want to disembowel the teacher and feed him to his children (who, by the way, were almost definitely born when the bastard was about forty years old)) and French (cool class). I've never had any problems whatsoever. . . I do nothing, absolutely nothing. . . and I mean NOTHING in Calculus AP, and I still have a better grade than a lot of people in the class. I literally teach myself everything during the test.

Whereas in Physics I have a C because I do less than nothing in the class. Never in my 12 years of education have I experienced anything more horrible.
I sometimes wonder how I manage to keep up my grades while still doing nothing at all in class. I figure my teachers must really like me or something, because there is no way I'm really getting all of those points.

On the AP tests for 11th grade I made a 3 on English and a 3 on American History. Which pissed me off. I'm going to do better next time around. Except in Calculus. They won't even bother grading that one.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #117 on:** November 03, 2003, 03:03:24 PM »

I do VERY well on every test and crud, but HW just seems uninportant now. It slips off my radar each day after school, and when I find out that I have a 74 HW average (happened last year), I'm like "meh" cause I still get an A due to my tests. whatever.

I beat myself up if I get a C, and I don't even like B's. But I'm still happy with a B. I absolutely HATE people that go "*sniff* I GOT A B+!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

It's a fweepin B! Be happy!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #118 on:** November 03, 2003, 03:06:37 PM »

I should do homework, but I usually don't. Actually, if I start on it, I finish it, but I never have the motivation to start. Kirby is so much more tempting.

What she said.

University is a million times better than High School ever could be. The work is harder, but you have FAR less social problems.

No way, Ms.Pikmin- middle school is WAY more socially stressful than I could even dream of high school being. By high school nearly everyone has figured out who they are, everyone has a personality and is generally being themselves. Unfortunately, they do all their finding themselves in middle school. And about college being more stressful, I meant in a more academic and responsibility sense, since more many people college is when you first move out of the house.

So what happens to those of us who use photoshop to make the annoying people feel bad? Will we perish?

No, there's always a place for your sadistic type, manunited.

I tend not to have any social problems, but I'm very apt at avoiding problems in general. Take today for example. . . I go to school with blue hair. There are strict rules against having colored hair; one guy got in serious trouble for having pink tint in his hair.
Anyway, nothing. No administrators bothered to stop me. Very few people said anything about my hair (I figure most people are intimidated by me and my weirdness). . . those that did usually complimented on it.

That's pretty much the extent of my interaction with people. Anybody that I don't know leaves me alone, lest I tear out their eyes and eat them with milk for my cereal. Or at least that's what they think, for some reason or another. I once sort of had problems with people, but they leave me alone now.

And those people that do know me generally like me, so social stress in my life equals -4.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #124 on:** November 03, 2003, 04:18:03 PM »

Know what's kewl??? I'm pretty much in Hostile's position. I say ghey stuff all the time, and people know I'm not ghey, and they just find it funny. Like the other day, I start strokeing (sp) Scott's arm and calling him cute. Nobody seemed to care (cept scott). Now, later, somebody else says this somewhat ghey comment, and people are all over him. It was funny.

But what's great is people seem to like me anyways I can just be myself. I don't go around advertising my nerdiness, because really, nobody cares about the lack of support for the GC. I speak nerd with 2 other people (GC fans of course). don't take me as a poser or anything, because i think it's really not worth it to be part of the cool group, because they really don't like you and they end up being jerks anyway. the end.
