Title: A graduate is I!
Post by: Gamefreak on May 28, 2008, 04:35:11 PM
Just last Sunday, I graduated from High School.  So, I spend my days now sitting in boredom trapped in a time warp of 1998, playing old PS1 games I downloaded off my PS3.

So, as for future plans, I have two scenarios drawn out.

A) Attend Community College for two years.  Transfer to The University of Toledo and get my Bachelor's degree.  Then go to Law School for three years and get my J.D

B) My relative gets a job at Bowling Green State University and I'll just go there for seven years.

Hooray!

Congratulations!  Welcome to real life.

I promise you though, you'll totally hate it.

Why a Community College though? College apps didn't work out?'

Just when you get to College, take it easy. The first semester can be REALLY rough.

Drug peddling would make a good summer job. Help you with those student loans and such so you can afford a big university.

Congrats, Gamefreak! Though I did kind of think that you were a junior... What the crap was I smoking? XD

Don't overdo the all-nighters in college, either. Very dangerous.

NO WAY I GRADUATED TOO

Of course, that was a looong time ago.

I'm a juniour next year, but if it helps, I skipped a grade so I should be a sophmore. XD

Urk, I could graduate next year, but I don't want to. >: all this scholarship/SAT stuff is upsetting, and I haven't even hit the flood I'm going to in the next two years.

-crosses fingers-

It's not that bad...

err...

Okay, maybe it can get a little overwhelming, but you should definitely take the SAT as soon as your able, in like October or November. That should make the prospect of applying of other stuff more easier cause you've already done one of the big steps.

Congratulations, everyone who is graduating!

Technically, if I do what I want to do I have another 6-8 years of education, depending on how long my course is. But I could leave school end of next year, but I'd rather stay on for sixth form rather than go to a sixth form college. thats mainly for people who want to be things like beauticians, plumbers, electricians &c.

but yeah, hope you all do well!

Don't worry, I still have another seven years minimum if I want to be a lawyer.

So you wanna be a defense attorney then? You've decided? Or is it just a possibility still?

The SAT is simple. They place a plastic bag before you for an hour. If you're alive at the end, you pass. It's how they weed out the not so smart ones.

Post by: MagmarFire on June 01, 2008, 12:33:41 PM
Ah, glad to see you back here, man! ;D

And I've only taken the ACT, so I couldn't really lie to you. :P

Do I dare venture to ask what the plastic bag is for?  :P

And spekaing of College, I decided to go to NYU. That way I can breathe the smoggy air of the city directly instead of from afar like now. Yay!

I want to go to Dalhousie. That's... not going to happen, I think.  But I'm trying to be optimistic, I mean, I'm signing scholarship stuff for upper states colleges, and Nova Scotia is pretty close to the states. :3;

SATs aren't hard, but I think it's cool that they have an option for which hand you use-so you don't bump elbows. :3

What the hell happened?!

I got a 1450, by the way.

Liar.

and they added the writing test to it. You have t o go over grammar stuff and write an essay.

Okay...

MAYBE I only got a 1266, but it's still pretty good... =\

Isn't the SAT now out of 2400? They changed it, didn't they?

I just got back from my graduation ceremony. [Commodore] is now a graduate of Concord High School, Concord, North Carolina.

So, uh, yay?

Although I'm not out of High School yet, I'm very pleased to announce I've just finished my freshman year.

Turns out I've been both held back and demoted back into the eigth grade. So yeah.

I get to be a juniour next year. And drive my moped to school, because I'm a big girl now.

Yeah, I graduated a month ago or so, but I just recently got my grades. Because, you know, I thought I'd fail. 9__9

I dont break up for another month or so, but I've done all my end of year internal exams, and my first three science GCSEs, they were okay.

But in the internal exams I got best in year for Christian Ethics, second best in Judaism and joint best for Geography and I'm pretty pleased with my other results those three are just my best. Of course it doesn't matter what I get for internal exams, they don't count for anything.
But next week is enterprise week so I basically don't have to do anything.
