    HS finishes for me in May 2010...Not long to go, but when the thing is the IB, then there is a LONG way to go...
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    It's not that bad, enjoy it. About half my year group did it, (a guy at my school even got 45 and eight others got 44s ). And if you get 35+ (which is only 80% if you really think about it) your pretty much guaranteed to get into most things. They all whined about how hard it was, but in all seriousness the syllabuses for respective subjects was exactly the same, (the maths I did was actually harder than what they did ). The only annoying thing would be ToK and the extended essay. But you'll get through it. Oh and good luck.

    Don't worry about it first yeat at Uni for me proved much easier than my last couple at school. Although my final school year was easy, spent most of my time playing PES. Don't have that at Uni.

    spent most of my time playing
    So I am doing.
    But I'm doing a lot of things, things that I like and always wanted to do:
    I have the main character in an adaptation of "Bang Bang, you are dead"
    Wrote an essay about Nuclear technology and its going to get a 'bit' of attention, the article might be published and/or its going to be used for some ambientalist foundation (don't worry, not Greenpeace)
    We are going to do a documental...

    There are a lot of things to do, and 2 months remaining! I am supposed to be doing some Uni work now, I will tell you more later.




    Names, secret names
    But never in my favour
    But when all is said and done
    It's you I love

    My highschool is one of the best public schools in the nation and is very competetive. And I'm in all AP classes, which doesn't make it any easier...

    but for the most part I relaxed my entire highschool carear. it wasn't tremendously easy, i just took mediocre grades

    I've already finished applications and sent them in:

    University of Texas
    Penn State
    University of Washington
    Tulane
    DePaul

    now only thing i have to worry about is paying for this....


    ....peace corps!

    I just got my first acceptance letter back. UW-Stevens Point accepted me. Now I've got to polish my personal statement/admissions essay(the name varies from college to college) before I send out applications to UW-La Crosse and UW-Madison. La Crosse will get back to me within a month. I'll have to wait for a couple of months before Madison will get back to me. Stupid Madison and its crazy high standards. :shakes fist:
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
