[Artha]

Junior year was the hardest and busiest for me. Good luck!

[Skeeter]

yeah. Junior year sucked.

[Wezas]

/agree Junior year is a bitch. Plus by the time you're in your Sr. year you've already applied to college w/ your GPA & SAT.

Keep us posted on the SAT scores when you take them. Though I'll have no clue since they added that third part.

[Stretch]

I'll be disappointed if you don't score at least 2200.

[HarmNone]

Good job, Bob! You have every reason to be very proud. :)

[Asha]

Those grades don't supprise me from you. Just remember us when you work on spacestations.
Nice goin.

[Sean of the Thread]

Doesn't surprise me at all. Highschool is a joke.

[AnticorRifling]

What sports did you letter in?

[Bobmuhthol]

<<What sports did you letter in?>>

Take a guess.

[Makkah]

Varsity Math Team
and the JV Dicksucking squad

rofl @ non-4.0

[Tromp]

Can you letter in LARP?

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Varsity Math Team>>

I got banned from the math team for life.

<<Water>>

If I played, I would've been a quarterback.

<<Can you letter in LARP?>>

No :(

[Skeeter]

[QUOTE=Bobmuhthol]<<Varsity Math Team>>

I got banned from the math team for life.

this sounds like a story with promise.

[Bobmuhthol]

I got suspended for 3 days because I slapped some freshman for being a dickhead in the cafeteria. The last meet for the math team was after school at another school on the last day of my suspension. I went, competed, won, and then the school disqualified my scores. They lost the meet without my scores, I was kicked off the team and given 3 detentions of which I served only 1. Teams consisted of 5 students, maximum 2 seniors and 2 juniors, 5 teams. I was ranked 3rd overall before having my scores disqualified.

Had you stopped the story right here... I would have praised you.

[Jazuela]

Awesome scores Bob, congrats! Especially in an honors curriculum. Try not to slap anyone in Senior year though. You don't want to be on suspension the day the college recruiters come around :)

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Nice grades Bob. I agree about HS being easy, though to be honest, you usually don't realize that until you are out of it, and in college. Then after you graduate college, you realize how easy college was.

In any event, nice grades! Next time, don't slap, punch.

[Dwarven Empath]

My brother and I graduated in the same year. 1983. He was the valedictorian. He went to college.
He works for the state of Mass and makes about 40k a year.

I was ranked at about 150 out of 250. I drive a truck and make about 75k a year.

Yah he got better grades. But I had more fun.


Medi/Matt

P.S. My son just graduated from high school last week. Yeah!
P.P.S. Congrats Bob, keep it up.

[Stumper]

And more VD's.

[Laccon]

what kinda truck do u drive medi, lol, i didn't think truck drivers got paid that good.........

[Hulkein]

I'd rather sit at a desk than be a trucker.

[Dwarven Empath]

Hahaha VD!

Them crabs sucked, and the cream this doctor gave me burned.

Long story shortened, House party, chick grabs me and brings me into the bathroom, sex on the cold floor...two days later I'm scratching like I got poisen ivy or something.

Another one, It sucks having to pee every 20 seconds, and nothing comes out.

VD! LOL

Medi/Matt

[Dwarven Empath]

I leave RI for Maine, pickup poland springs water, then drive to New Jersey drop off the trailer, grab another one full of kitty liter, then drive back to Providence RI.

Takes about 13 hours.

I work every other day.

[Makkah]

sucks to be you

[Stanley Burrell]

You need some "banned from chess" slash "Chess Lyfe" slash-slash "I slap freshman" ink. That'd be hardcore, yo.

Also, did you at least leave ring marks and/or sap the kid with a gigantic marbleized rook?

Even the principal deserves to, at the very least, choke a bitch-ass on Freshman Friday.

[Bobmuhthol]

Holy shit.

My class rank last year was 65/343. My class rank for this year is 2/302, and overall it's 18/302.

[Celephais]

Gah, time to find out who's number one and slap them.

[Celephais]

GPA of 3.788 yields 2nd place? Yikes, I had a smaller class (little over a hundred) and there were always like three or four people with 4.0s, they weren't actually smart, they just did their work.

You'll probably blow away whoevers at #1 with your SATs though.

I'm posting after myself a lot today.

[Sean of the Thread]

308? Small school. The valedictorians had to have a "show down" because there were so many 4.0+.. obviously some classes yield more than 4. SATs while retarded.... is where it's at man. Pwn them catapult yourself into the future.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<GPA of 3.788 yields 2nd place? Yikes, I had a smaller class (little over a hundred) and there were always like three or four people with 4.0s, they weren't actually smart, they just did their work.>>

GPA of 3.802, and I'm rank 18. 4.233 for this year, and I'm 2 for just this year.

<<308? Small school.>>

~1200 students between the 4 grades, and it encompasses 3 towns. Suburban school.

<<You'll probably blow away whoevers at #1 with your SATs though.>>

I hope so. I got a 930 in 7th grade (550 math 380 verbal) and my math and English skills have only gone up.

[Celephais]

Were you not trying? No offense but that sounds awful for you.

Edit: 7th grade, I just assumed you meant like this year or last... sorry, still seems lower than I would expect.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Were you not trying? No offense but that sounds awful for you.>>

I was 12 and in algebra I.

<<sorry, still seems lower than I would expect.>>

Heh, I was actually pretty disappointed by the verbal score. I did it as part of the Johns Hopkins youth talent search, and 550 in either subject in 7th grade was the minimum to be considered really fucking cool, so my math score was pretty good. I just really want that verbal to go up 400 points, and writing to not suck.

<brag>Regarding how awesome I am at math, I recently received a certificate acknowledging my excellent score in the Fitchburg State College Elizabeth Haskins Mathematics Contest.

[Kuyuk]

Your last name is Smith?


K.

[Hulkein]

What kind of nerd takes the SATs or PSATs in 7th grade?

[Artha]

The kind that's #2 in their class.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<What kind of nerd takes the SATs or PSATs in 7th grade?>>

SAT. I've never taken PSAT, and likely never will.


The kind that's #2 in their class.

Also, the kind that is instructed to by Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth. They came to me.

[HarmNone]

That's awesome, Alex! :up:

[Stanley Burrell]

Good job, Alex.

And remember,

You can slap idiots and get important-looking trophies for the wall. Don't let the man hold you down.

[Skeeter]

hard to believe #2 in your class is that low of a GPA

We had something like 400+ ppl in my graduating class, and 30 some were CGPA over 4.0 Valedictorian was something sick like 4.6 or 4.8.

Congrats on the grades though, I wish I would've put a little more effort into HS, though I turned out alright.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<hard to believe #2 in your class is that low of a GPA>>

4.233 is low? It turns out my friend is #1 for sophomore year with 4.372. He's #2 overall now with a cumulative 4.13, and I'm #18 overall with 3.802.

[Skeeter]

I read it wrong. I thought your 3.802 was #2. makes more sense now.

[Stretch]

Keep in mind different school systems have different grading guidelines.

In Fairfax County, an A is a 4.0, and there are no minuses given out (at least, not when I was a student). Grades for AP courses get an additional 0.5. The highest GPA at my school was a kid who got straight A's and also took 12 AP courses.

I think he had a 4.2 something.

GPA stuff.

[Celephais]

Looks like rank is determined by QPA (quality point average) and hence why I quoted the GPA of 3.788, not the QPA.

... Wait you get a 0.9 with an F in Technical classes? WTF...

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Looks like rank is determined by QPA (quality point average) and hence why I quoted the GPA of 3.788, not the QPA.>>

For serious. And a GPA of 3.788 is still between A-/A. 4.0 GPA is very rare in my school.

<<... Wait you get a 0.9 with an F in Technical classes? WTF...>>

Yeah I saw that earlier and wondered what was up with that, too. I don't even know which classes are level 4.

Okay I found them in the program of studies. Basically, you have to be so stupid that the department must recommend that you take the class.

Here's my schedule for next year:
Honors Physics
Latin I
Honors Chemistry
AP Calculus
Honors History (AP History was the same period as AP Calculus :()
AP English

[Makkah]

Latin I as a Junior? Our school had that offered in 8th grade.

You would be better off taking it a little later, I'd think.

[Sean of the Thread]

Well again.. it's highschool and means absolutely nothing. 300 is a pretty small class for around here. Just keep up the good work man I expect to see you in the GOP someday.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Latin I as a Junior? Our school had that offered in 8th grade.>>

I couldn't take French IV or accounting, and Latin was the only acceptable class left. I'm still in the pwn zone as far as class schedule.

[StrayRogue]

300 is hardly a small amount. There was about 90 people in my own year.

[Sean of the Thread]

300 is hardly a small amount. There was about 90 people in my own year.

That's smaller than my daughters pre school attendance. I did attend freshman year when I lived with my grandparents.. there was 33 people in all of ninth grade hahaha.

[StrayRogue]

Heh, there were four people in my final year's Art class.

[Sean of the Thread]

I got kicked out of art :( Thus my lack of artpad skills.

[Hulkein]

I went to a pretty big Catholic school (it was the biggest in the country in the 70s) and I had around 510 in my class. I don't think 300 is small for one grade.

[Doughboy]

300 per class? Jeebus, that is small to me at least. I think I had around 1200 in my graduating class. Like 6000 in the school at the time.


Edited to add:

Yay for horribly overcrowded Miami schools!

70s? how fuking old are you !?

[Hulkein]

Haha, nah, I graduated in '02, I just said it was the biggest Catholic school in the country in the 70s.
