College

luxinterior · 08.24.2006, 08:44 PM

Wow, I really hate it here. I want to go back to Missouri and be with my family. Chicago isn't bad, it's just that I really do not like the other students. The staff, on the other hand, are fine people. I am feeling lonely.

HaydenAsche · 08.24.2006, 08:45 PM

I was supposed to start on Monday but I am skipping the first week for this joke of a family reunion/vacation. I love school.

Cantankerous · 08.24.2006, 08:46 PM

But you're 15?

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 08:46 PM

I don't know about college, specifically. But I want to get the hell out the suburbs.

I do want college though.

Daycare Nation · 08.24.2006, 08:46 PM

I went through the same thing...You'll be fine.

Study hard, party hard, do some crazy ass things.

Soon you'll really be enjoying yourself....Then remember--in 4 to 6 years your life will become extremely boring and you can look forward to the meaningless life of a wage slave.

Cantankerous · 08.24.2006, 08:47 PM

all i know is that i'm not going.

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program or PSEO. Juniors and Seniors with good grades can go to college for free. I'm not sure what it is called in your state but every state has a similar program. Thankfully, I'm in the top 10 of my class so I can get accepted to any Post-Secondary institution I want.

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 08:52 PM

You fail to realize how fucking smart I am. I skipped a grade. I'll be 16 in September.

I haven't even started the actual school part yet. It's still "Welcome Week."

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 08:57 PM

My fucking elementary school didn't do grade skippage...

finding nobody · 08.24.2006, 08:59 PM

That's rubbish..

the fact that i'm 16 and in 11th grade is an abosolute miracle

Not very many do. All of my teachers and counselers insisted I skip a grade. I was like a child prodigy or some shit. I got the highest score in the state on a Basic Standards Test in the second grade. 2 wrong.

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 09:03 PM

Well, I still take pride that I didn't have to do multiplication. My teacher said I was good enough to go straight to division.

HaydenAsche · 08.24.2006, 09:05 PM

Haha. Really? That's awesome. I was in math league so when I got to trig and stuff as a freshmen my teacher didn't make me do any of the homework because I already knew it from Math League years past.

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 09:07 PM

I didn't have a Math League. Math is my best subject. I so would have joined.

I did do an "Academic Pentathalon" which is the junior high version of a decathlon. I got 1st place in math in 6th grade. I still have my medal.

Edit: Our school got first also, and I got a 3rd in something else, which I do not remember. I think it was science.

HaydenAsche · 08.24.2006, 09:10 PM

Sweet. I carried my team to state 3 years in a row. They only let you be in it for 3 years though. I used to be unmatched in my math skills. Alas, drugs have fucked my brain over. Now I am only moderately smart.

Alex's Trip · 08.24.2006, 09:12 PM

I haven't fucked myself over yet. I've never touched a drug in my life...

...I'm such a goody good.

Savage Clone · 08.24.2006, 09:14 PM

Going to college instead of high school if you are able is a good choice. You will feel better about it eventually, after the culture shock wears off some.
