I screwed up really badly last semester, so... I have to.

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:31pm

I'm taking a "study" break, too! One day down, four more to go until the weekend!

My school's having a poster fair this week, so I imagine I'll be spending entirely too much money tomorrow, eek!

Thank God. This week needs to end as fast as it began.

Kook, (and everyone) what are your GPAs?

Allie, what do you want to buy?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:33pm

You think I'm going to tell? I think I told you, anyway. Maybe you don't remember.

at my old school, I had about a 3.1, 3.2 tops...here, I usually average about a 3.5 or 3.6.

When'd you transfer?

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:36pm

a year and half ago...i took a semester off school (that's when i had my internship in the city), and then transferred in the spring.

I thought I did, Emcee, but you'll kindly notice that the comment was not addressed soley to you. No need to get snippy. If you don't want to answer, then don't.

I had a 4.3 last quarter and a 3.99 (no joke) cummulative. My freshman year was a straight, lackluster 3.7, so it's taking a while to bring it up. Everything's weighted like mad this year, though, so I'll be ok with As and a few Bs.

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:37pm

Well, seeing as I'm not in school right now...

Ah.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:38pm

Then it would look like I wasn't "being nice." You're one to talk about snippy.

I still can't deal with the fact that people have over 4.0 (or where I went to school, over 100). It's unfair.

I don't even KNOW... I don't think we're big on GPA's here. Or maybe I just never dealt with it.

I don't know what they'll have at the fair, but last year, I wanted just about every third poster I saw. I got a poster of the Muppets last year, and a cool panoramic one of Times Square.

i don't think you can get higher than a 4.0 at UConn.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:39pm

I'm surpised that at a school like this there's little competition, other than "competition with yourself." We rarely even discuss grades amongst friends. It's a welcomed change, though.

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:40pm

Why is it unfair?

That's odd. *makes note* I'm going to have to ask Tiff if GPAs are a big thing in Canada. I have a print of Times Square at night on my wall that I got in Battery Park (I know, I know. So very Tourist).

greatdct, what are you up to?

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:41pm

my shock is exactly the opposite...that at a huge state school people are super competitive about grades...they break the Dean's List down by schools, and in the school of Ed and the school of Nursing, you have to have a 4.0 to be on the DL...in the FA school I think it's something like 3.7

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:42pm

What with weighting and all. The whole process makes so many things... pointless. And it's just unfair that people are that smart. But if you can get above 100, what's the point of the scale? It's totally thrown off.

I LIVE in New York and I have those prints. Ain't nothin' wrong.

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:42pm

I should be in school. But a lot of stuff got mixed up and confused so it just made sense to start a semester late.

I'm moving to NYC in January for college. Until then I'm back and forth between the city and TN. Doing... nothing productive. Though I am doing my part to help Chitty's attendance.

[Allie]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:44pm

I know they weren't at my high school. We did averages, though. I can't remember what mine was... high 80's, low 90's? Somewhere in there.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:44pm

Way to be.

Even though it's invalid to say that I'm going to personally finance... the show? Raul's happiness?... I'll think of something.


*whimper* My mom just called and I gave her a hard time for no reason. I hate being this way -- all pent up and angsty.

Oh, lucky you, Greatdct.

For some of us freaks, Em, a 4.0 is not good enough. The people in my special little program are obsessive about grades. Nothing is secret. And why shouldn't we overachieve, damnit?

Kook, that made no sense at all.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:45pm

Because it makes you unhappy and bitter -- and then when things like GYM class bring you down, y'all get whiny and "I'm not valedictoriaaaaaaan!"

[thetheatrekook]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 7:45pm

haha...i definately think that the Raúl love thread should be considered a producer or special benefactor or something...I shutter to think how much money we've all collectively put into this show!
