lol, sorry, misunderstood you :o :(

LOL yeah I had to read that a few times...I was going to say to Hockey...because he wants to have a back when he's 40.

Hey Hock...did you see my post above lol.

hahah yeah i did, and the funny thing about it is, thats not what i meant, but now that you mention it, i did get with a mom once. she was the assistant manager at the store where i worked, and she was married to the manager, and his parents owned the store. needless to say he was a prick that got what was coming to him , and they're not married anymore.

Haha...that'd a boy.

if you think you can handle them you should take as many AP classes as you can the next 2 years. I went in to college with 19 credits because I took advantage of those classes in high school. and next year is the year that colleges are really going to be looking at for you so dont worry. good luck!

there are a lot of ways to make a comfortable living. it just depends on what you want to do. for instance you could be a

mechanic
line man
electrician
carpenter
plumber
equipment operator


im not saying dont go to college, but see whats out there first ! and dont let motherfuckers pressure you into going, if you want to take a year or two or three off , do it. there is no law that says you have to go to college straight out of highschool. figure out what you want to do by getting out and about and seeing whats out there then make your decision.

theres alot of schooling involved in being a mechanic... (a well payed one anyways) because you go to some sort of mechanic school(UTI, for x-sample,there are others though) for one year to get the basics down... and then... every couple of years... you go back to refreash your memory, and to learn about other stuff(the automotive world is constantly becoming more high-tech)

who gives a shit? Come one now, you're a sophomore, your coming down on yourself way too hard, just go with the flow, and things will get better...........

Like they said, don't freak out! I work as a tutor and an aide in school. May I suggest getting a tape recorder? Read your notes into it and play them often. It works for essays, too. Just start talking about what you want to write about, then listen to it in chunks while writing it out.

Incidentally, Spanish gave me my first (and only) "D" in college- and I still graduated with honors in spite of it. At the worst, you end up in a 2 year, community college. That will give you 2 years to get those grades up- then transfer to a 4 year college. They won't even look at that "D"- your more recent grades are much more important. So get busy, tape your notes and don't give up so early in the game! - Granny

very true, but its not going to college, it sort of is, but not in the traditional sense. anything that is going to afford a comfortable living is probably going to require some schooling, but tech schools and such arent as much of a scam as a traditional 4 year school. traditional college is for the birds. unless you're going to be a doctor lawyer or teacher, you're (imo) wasting your money.
