You see, the only classes that really count for rank are the core classes and foreign language class. BUT I have never goitten a B in my life. From the high-pichted depths of kindergarten, I have always gotten A's. So to me, it counts. And to the GPA. And now, this 88.
However, I know that though the 88 might be printed on my report card, if I butter up my teacher enough, it can be changed on the one thing that matters, which is the transcript. And I think she likes me, quiet little me, and I hope she'll give me a chance...!
P.S. I practically flooded the house with tears. I know. Pathetic, eh? But my good grades are the only thing I've got going for me. Beauty? Not so much. Athelticism, musicality? Sorry. Art? Mediocre.
oh... but awesomeness? to the max!!!!!
dont worry about it. u'll still get into college, and journalism??? not so important.
oh courtney, u so crazy...
all i have is my grades too and i have a D is calculus and C in english. hahaha, me is a moron.
Problems, problems, problems. I'll stop talking about the problems.
(British orphan accent) I suppose what the old lady said is true, Vinnie. Our destiny is to become hoboes on the corner of Julian and OK Go...
i think im just gonna study a lot, like a lot.., and get a lot of degrees and then be a real smart hobo. yup.
oh and vinnie to go berkeley.. theres lots of smart hobos there.. ha.
What school do u go to???
and ur day seems to really have sucked. but dont worry about. be happy. its all good.
i didnt get into berkeley or ucla or usc.. didnt bother with stanford no way in hell i would've gotten in.. didnt bother with pepperdine because its not worth it for me for a private school. so it was between ucsd, uci, and ucr... i went with the highest ranked school which was ucsd because yes that kind of stuff matters to me.
but yeah im really like a;lskdfj;laksj distraught because i want to keep my gpa up because i have high hopes for business school - i'd love to go to like an ivy league or oxford or a couple other schools in the UK. so yeah ugh. i hate school.
Okay, listen. I think it's stupid how much emphasis the American educational system puts on getting into the "right" college the first time. If you get in where you want to go (and I'm 99% sure you're going to get in anywhere you apply), you get in! Great! If not, you go to the next best place, you make the best of it, and you reapply as a transfer. There's nothing wrong with transferring, at all. And there's nothing wrong with getting to your "dream" college and realising that it's not really what you wanted, and changing your mind. Your life extends beyond college admissions, and it's stupid how much pressure the system puts on high schoolers.
I got straight A's pretty much from 4th grade up until my freshman or sophomore year of high schol. And then I started getting the occasional B, maybe once or twice a semester. And now that I'm in college, I tend to get mostly B's, with an A or two thrown in there each semester. I just hit a point where I just stopped caring so much. I didn't stop caring totally, but I don't care so much. And my parents told me the same thing- I'd stress about grades, and my mom would say, "You know what? This B isn't going to determine the rest of your life."
And she's absolutely right. So chillax, man. You'll be fine.
Are you perhaps hungry like the wolf?
Edit: Hey, why didn't that get combined??
work actully found the right form for me, and actully filled it in!
(filled it in wrong, and i had to go back and get them to re-do it, as they had me down for making £90 a day....i wish)
Glad they sorted the form Andy
And Courtney, Jedi speaks the truth. It's not gonna screw up your life, and while I know it's disappointing (I'm exactly the same as you) you can spend the rest of the year getting it back up, right?
Plus, you are spectacularly awesome, and that counts most.
I've given up being worried that I wont get into the school I want.. I wana go to Cambridge (like Oxford/Ivy League type uni) but it's so hard to get into. But if not, it's not the end of the world anyway so meh
ive done just fine without top level eduaction =p
Normally I'd be like, "I have a friend who lives near Cambridge!" but I think you knew that, and I'm all sore about it and don't feel like going into the subject.
Hey, can maybe some of you Brits do some research for me- I know it's either Cambridge or Oxford that offers a Teach English as a Foreign Language program, but I don't know anything about it. I know there are the same programs in the US, but I think it would be nifty to do it in England (and probably give me more cred, too, since most of the world tends to favour British English. As, clearly, do I, because Firefox is highlighting "favour" as misspelled).
Ooo I'll look it up for you - I have both prospectuses (prospecti?)
I'd have thought it'd be Oxford tbh they're more language-y...
Firefox hates British spellings. And now, as a consequence, I keep writing "color" or "favorite" and my teachers are getting annoyed... Americans got the right idea about "center" tho - "centre" makes no sense at all.
