Pfft you did better than me.

The teacher I had was a true jerk, he told me I was probably never going to accomplish anything in life because I forgot to turn in one assignment.

So I let him know who he was dealing with, long story short I'll probably never go to the program ever again :P

omg I had a professor telling me that once (about a year ago or so). She got cranky because I didn't turn in a simple, easy assignment. I just rolled my eyes and moved on.

I used to want to learn Latin because of Harry Potter. :P I was such a nerd haha. Well, I'm still a nerd but.... you get the idea.
I was about to say..you're most certainly still a nerd, Shawn.

That's ridiculous. If a teacher ever told me that, I'd complain to administration. lol.

Again, that's crazy. I would probably get really mad, or cry, or something depending on the teacher. ):

I'm so ready for Christmas my birthday. n_n

Oh man I'm going to be 18 in three more months. I still don't have my permit yet but I'll probably do the test before it hits January which is almost here. Don't want to take that test. I think for people who have birthdays on Christmas has their presents combined with their Christmas gifts so I don't think it would be double the gifts.

I turn 21 next year. I wonder where I'll celebrate it at? *coughVegascough*

But my previous birthdays have been incredibly boring. All I do is sleep after a long week at school.

Oregon is a tough place to live, QuilavaKing. :/ It's ideal for retirement communities and smaller communities, it doesn't have much for young people. OSU is a great school, that's about all Oregon has going for it (and Portland) in terms of society.

It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful, just... not conducive to having a productive future. At least that's how I felt when I was there. :[ I live in Los Angeles but me and my family were in Oregon for a while to take care of my grandmother.... yughhhh. I love to go back and visit (rafting down the Rouge River is bombbbbdiggity) but I could never live there.
Haha, yeah. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I really didn't set myself up for it though... I didn't ever get my license, and I've never had a job...

So, I'm gonna be stuck here until I save up enough money to go somewhere else. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to get into a college elsewhere anyway.

Don't get discouraged. Trust me, it's ALWAYS possible. Always. I know old people (well okay, they're like 40, but that feels freakin old) who have gone BACK to college because they didn't do it after highschool and they regretted it. If THEY can do it, a 19 year old kid can do it.

It's expensive to go to school out-of-state but you can apply for grants, scholarships, or if you have to student loans. If you feel you don't have the academics for it, go to a community college for a year and ace the crap out of it (I'm talking serious dedication, straight-A 4.0 GPA status) and then transfer to a university. People do it all of the time. :]

Anything is possible, seriously. Just stay dedicated.
Yeah, but if they're 40, they probably went to a pretty crappy school. I was a straight A student (well, almost), so I should be going somewhere pretty fancy imo. I had an almost free ride to OIT, which I probably should have done... but the more I thought about it, the more I felt like wasting 4 years of my life in a cold, little town like Klamath Falls was a really bad idea.

Eh? I'm pretty sure there were good high schools back in the past. :/ I mean, when I look at the textbooks my dad had to use in the past, they looked more difficult, since they don't have as many images as they do these days.

I actually know someone that was pretty much straight 'A', and he's currently at the Community College I'm going too. Though it's probably to finish his two years he started while he was in High School. Cheaper that way. (b'')b

That's something like what I plan on doing Fall next year. I want to get my AA degree from my community college after the first two years, and then transfer to the university of my choice to finish up my education. I managed to keep straight 'A's throughout high school, but because of cost, I find starting off at a community college to be a lot more affordable and helps saves a lot of money.

My Freshman Composition teacher was actually a teacher that worked at the university just about thirty minutes away. She didn't bother trying to teach us any other way, so she pretty much did the same thing she did with her University class. So pretty much, what I learned in that class was what university students were learning, for a fraction of the price. (b'')b

Most people I know went to 4 year schools in the area, but I opted for a 2 year technical college for monetary reasons. I could not have afforded to go to any of the schools that sent me mailings, as I forgot to apply for any scholarships.

I was going to graduate in May, but I opted to stay in school at the technical college I'm attending until next December because I'm working quite a bit and this last semester burned me out with a full-course load, and I couldn't get into one of the classes I wanted to get into for this Spring anyways.

I have this huge urge to get back into school. Taking a year off after graduating was great the first few months, but then you just miss it after awhile. ):

Does give me a lot of time to prep myself though.

I took time off because I was such a "overachiever" student in high school I was burned out from learning when I went to college. Most expensive mistake of my life lol

My biggest mistake was letting procrastination get the better of me by taking my SAT's late and slacking on applying to the colleges of my choice. That and choosing to finish my last two years of high school online. I wish I didn't do that one. XD Otherwise, I'd probably be in college right now...er, at least I would be returning to it after break anyway.

I know a lot of kids that started to miss it after being out of school a few months. :/

I wish I had a year off, but I'm glad I'm getting it out of the way. I kind of also wish I had just went to a junior college instead. I mean, it'd just have been so much cheaper. ~_~;

I've been out of school since June, and have done absolutely nothing with my life in the meantime, and I honestly can't say that I miss it. I miss having money to do fun stuff, and all my friends went away to college... and I wish I could go somewhere more exciting... but I... Crap, now I'm thinking about how boring this really is...
