Tis the season

Oct 23, 2006 19:07

Entire classes devoted to the subject of trying to scare the twelfth graders to death are becoming a reoccuring phenomenon. The only time I ever really worry about what to do next year, to the point of nausea, is right after these classes. Because apparently if we make one mistake, or take one wrong course, we've just fucked up our entire lives ( Read more... )

What are some of the ideas (if any) you have for post-secondary?

Anthropology, and history. Or something like that. Or maybe political science...

Don't even worry about it. High school is COMPLETELY useless, and nothing you learn in high school will help you. But! Don't dread. It's not useless in a way that matters. All universities need to see is decent marks in english, math and science (the most important ones) and then after that, you can forget all about high school, because all it taught you was that teenagers are cliquey bastards and cliques don't count in university. So, while they all may have been "cool" in high school, they all suck now that they're in the real world, and will discover themselves friendless, because all of their "friendships" were superficial.

I'm not in math or science this year, and last year I almost failed both. This is a bad thing, isn't it?

Not if you're planning on UPEI. All you really need to go there is a high school diploma and some money. Even if the money's a loan.

You should see my grade 11 report card I almost failed the entire year, I was getting 40's and 30's. I barely slipped by aka I got 50's in a lot of my classes. I am pretty sure I got a 50 in math and 50's in all my sciences. And look at me I got into university and even graduated.
