[Mahn]

I only talk when I need to and.....I don't need to right now.

[darklancer]

Im still here >.>

[Hiroshima]

i've been busy with problems of my own, when im in happier moods per-day ill start to continue my story.

[Kain]

I have little to say until I can play Tactics Ogre without having Kachua die within a minute of loading my save. -_-

*waits impatiently for the 19th*

[Taterz]

i only got response from like 4 people >_>


let's start a topic then. how's the next year of schooling going to go for you all? i'm pretty anxious, as i am going to be the first in my family to go to college and actually graduate. my goal is mechanical engineering, and thats supposed to be a really hard major to get. living on campus is going to be fun, and i plan to make the most of those 4 years (goal: 12) years of my life.

[Hiroshima]

i will be goin into my 10th grade year a my highschool, if grades permit, ill be enrolling into The Annapolis Naval Academy. 'nuff said

[Taterz]

navy eh? thats where you can be fat and lazy, at least thats what my dad joined for (he's retired now)

[Dreamer]

Yeah...my grades are really bad. REALLY bad. To the point of no recovery, unless I take a 5th year, and I am not taking a 5th year...son of a ****ing monkey's uncle, I hate school!

My plans are to get a GED and go to community college...get a break in writting or something...something to live. I don't want anything big, really. It'd be nice, but I don't really care either way. A roof over my head, food in my stomach, and some kind of intarweb connection is all I need. *coughs*

Also, I've been seriously considering suicide for a good while now. Life isn't holding up too well for me at all, and I am, apparently, Clinically Depressed.

And any one of you shitheads who claims I'm an attention wh*re can kiss the fattest part of my ass. The question was asked, I answered.

[SmellyCrap]

I haven't posted much because there isn't much to post about.

And besides, I've been getting 3+ assignments a week.

[Hiroshima]

1) ahahahaahha Smelly, school hasn't even STARTED yet here
2) Dreamer, i know the feeling/diagnose. its okay, if they make fun of you, they wont be a happy person...thats for sure

[just2slick4u]

yeah, school blows...they have a new rule that we can't sag, so that's why i MUST graduate this year, cuz like dreamer, my grades suck, XD and next year, theyt are making us tuck our shirts in our pants -_-

[Rapta111]

School isn't TOO bad. Like, I hardly do anything and for some reason I get 90%+ averages.

[Jumin]

well this fall i'm gonna start going to UC santa cruz. i'm pretty excited to start college.. haha

[Taterz]

thats uh good i guess, rapta. but when you can say you graduated from Preuss School UCSD, then you're not top of the line .

i managed to break a 4.0 barely doing any work with 4 AP classes (few B's in the APs, though)

[Kyou]

I'm starting my Senior year like Dreamer, and like dreamer my grades are horrible (lets just say me and my teachers exchanged blows) and also like Dreamer I've considered suicide and until this year I could have been considered clinically depressed. I pushed most of my friends away after my best friend moved then went psychotic over a girl (DUMB ASS ME!)

The best advice I can give you Dreamer *even if you don't want my advice* is to try to get close to your friends, and join something interesting like Theater, or get a cool instrument. Theater is great I just joined this year. New friends and I patched things up with my old ones its still kinda weird but those damn razor blades don't look as appealing as they used too. I wanted a drum set but couldn't afford it.

The actual biggest reason I've never committed suicide was my sister's fiancee did. It totally f*cked her up for 2 years and now her life is really getting put back together. I didn't want to be the reason for her to fall apart again.

Remember no matter what you think their are people who care about you and you would totally screw them up if you actually committed suicide. AND we'd miss you too much on FFTHG! ;D

I hope this post helps you in some way bud.

-EDIT-
Oh and this negative Karma isn't helping my self image. I'm a failure at life and now I'm a failure at the internet! Jk!

[Taterz]

the only way for karma to go up is never going to happen. it seems someone is bent on giving everyone 0 or negative karma, even i am falling victim (i thought i was immune to it )

aka mahn!!!

[Hiroshima]

yes, and for all you buggers who think its me. die now, i've hardly used any points -i forget about them- and i have only given....3 smites, and maybe like, 5 exalts. -the smites not including the ones to bring down mahn's karma- so there. as well. im not too popular either >.>

[Mettool]

I'm gonna push a hoop with a stick down a dirt road.

[Rowan]

So Taterz how many of your Ap Tests did you pass/ college accepted?

[Rapta111]

Just to be on the same line, you're talking about AP as in Advanced Placement courses? If so, then yeah, I'm on those courses.

[Taterz]

unfortunately, i suck at ap testing it seems. they always test the area i am weakest in: writing essays.

noting i am color blind, i passed ap art history with a 4, and passed ap physics with a 3 (i think only me and like, 2 others passed that test)

oh i bombed bad on the ap gov/euro/us history tests...history and writing are my weakest subjects....i need more math classes

oh and i got accepted to cal poly pomona, and am gonna move up to my dorm on sept. 18. got a triple -.-. my major is in mechanical engineering too, so i should have no trouble up there

[Rowan]

Sounds pretty good, I got a 4 on my ap chem test which lets me skip chem I, a 3 on psych, 2 in enlish lang (everyone bombed that one =/), and a 1 on my comp sci class seeing as how we played lan games the entire year. Too Bad University of Maryland only accepted my 4 in chem so I got stuck retaking most of the courses I took in highschool so at least my freshman year will be pretty easy.

Oh and I took Ap euro as well but our teacher went beyond nazi with the class seeing as how we went through a chapter about every 2 days, and every hour after lunch we got yelled at for not voting (still minors mind you) or for causing ww2 or because the north won the civil war. Anywhos good luck in Cal.

*Pokes forums with a stick*

Still livin' large

I start school tomorrow, kick ass.

[Rapta111]

I have no idea of how the American education system works. Anyone wanna explain it to me?

[SmellyCrap]

XD, I got Excellence in my Science test today (Physics) and I accidentally skipped two pages of it!

Shows you how fucked up NZ's education system is!

We need to go back to good old percentages and shit instead of this BS "Achieved, Merit, Excellence" system.

[Hiroshima]

my school system (High School) still has percentages we got 92%A 80%B (not sure of C, my school itself is screwed up so its hard to remember)64%D 63.4belowF

as opposed to the easy, 10 point system the schools around us use - 90%A 80%B 70%C 60%D 60%-&below-F

oh well. but yea Rapta, America sucks. America's schools are half-shit. America's president? i wont even get started -.-

[Rapta111]

Dunno, but Paul Martin and George Bush were both nominated for "most incompetent polititican" in most places.

...That really isn't saying much.

[Dreamer]

School is crap...all the teachers are FORCED to teach everyone alike, even though it has been proven that all people don't LEARN alike. What kind of shit is that?

Jesus Christ, it's a CLASS. Not a JOB. I shouldn't fail a class if I pass the final. If I pass the final, that pretty much shows that I know everything that was taught in class, right? Why should I fail a class based on "effort" and "participation"? What the hell for? What is the point in putting effort into something that is so easy it's a waste of time? Why? For what possible reason? I PASSED THE TEST, SHITHEAD! I SHOULD PASS THE CLASS!

A class is, or should be rather, a place to learn something. A skill. If you show that you can do that skill, you should be able to pass the class, right? If you take a class to learn how to draw, and you show by the end of that class that you can do a life-like portrait of whatever shithead you decide to draw, shouldn't you pass the class?

I just don't see how in the world it is justified that I, a reasonably intelligant person, can fail a class, while some guy that doesn't know his ass from his elbow can pass the same class, all because he "tried" or some other bullshit they say to justify him passing.

Jesus, if it was a job, it would be so different. I could do the same thing every day for 40 years, as long as I got my paycheck at the end of the month. I really see no point in "trying" to do something you know you can do easily with no type of pay until the end of the year...that's too ****ing far away! I want something now!

Don't get me started on homework...-_-;

Such is the glory of the American School System...
