I used to get strep so easily I'd contract that if anyone in the same time zone as me had it.

Second to last official class of undergrad tomorrow/today. Woot!

Note to self: Procrastinating and then trying to cram **** at the last minute is not a good idea.

Driving to work yesterday and got t-boned. Ugh. The guy admitted fault at the scene, cop came and didn't issue citations, we both have the same insurance company, worried they are going to try to screw me. No injuries besides the tiniest of scrapes on my scalp, but significant damage to my car.

Same insurance company is bad IME. I got a lawyer the one time it happened to me because they kept trying to get me to sign off on a check for 2000$ to settle everything even though that was just the value of the car and I had been to the ER and the chiro (got rear ended pretty hard).

Lawyer ended up getting me about 6000$, of which only about 500 was extra monies and that's only because the Chiro was my uncle and he wrote off the expenses when I told him everything that was going on.

That's why you maintain a high grade during the semester.

Had an A in public speaking. Decided that playing Guild Wars 2 was more productive than reading my notes and chapters from the book. Bombed that hell of the final. Passed with a B.

Physics: had a very high grade the whole semester. Calculated what I needed to get an A, got about a 20% on the final. Got an A in the class.

Because it's Public Speaking. The majority of your grade are your speeches. I didn't care to learn transaction models, johari windows and silly **** that I'll never use because I'm majoring in economics

I can see that happening in my history class. Idk what my grade has been, but it has to have been good because I crushed two map tests, got a C on a regular test, and I crushed a make up test that I scheduled because I didnt study for it the first time, and I got a copy of someone's completed test and studied it and pretty sure I got a 100 on the test. I tried cramming everything for this final and I didnt get everything crammed, so I could see myself making a C or D on it, maybe even worse.

yeah, if there's any way any of your work could be traced back to your 2p2 account, I'd remove that there post

LirvA is lucky he didn't have my Western Civ professor (aside from the fact he is a wicked old coot who is like super statist socialist man). If you had a make up test in his class you had to write short essay answers.

God, the cashier's office at my school is the SH*T!! One call to them always fixes almost any problem in a matter of seconds. SECONDS. So much better than Financial Aid, who take at least 25 minutes before transferring you to someone's voicemail.

Anyhow, I apparently have an overall GPA of 3.7 aorn. My school has an MPA program that requires a GRE unless you have at least an undergrad gpa of 3.5. Too bad that won't be an option. I hope more schools do stuff like that.

My GPA is at a 3.

I think that's what I need for grad school. But need a 3.4 while in there. Not sure if I need to do the GRE stuff to get in or not.

The majority of my 3 is because Spanish roflstomped my ass, douched my way through Western Civ, and Environmental Geology from way back when I first went to college. Kind of odd how 4 Cs dragged my GPA down.

Now that I'm entering FSU in the summer or fall, and the majority of my courses will either be stat/math and economics... I am going to stop dicking around as much as I have at the community college and drag the GPA back up higher.

To be fair to our little history scammer, the professor is kind of a tard for letting him take the same test as other students for a make up one.

If they didnt expect him to cheat he wouldnt have been able to voluntarily gain access to someone else's test then use that to gain in that transaction of knowledge. Similar to how going to a fast food place and telling them you bought something in the drive through but they didnt put it in the bag isnt actually stealing.
