This isn't much of an entry but...

You paid attention during 86% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

I got 80%, then I went back and changed the answers to figure out which ones I got wrong. I didn't know the answer about the triangle. I totally cheated at geometry in school and learned nothing. Otherwise, I learned that the Immaculate Conception is attributed to the birth of Mary, not Jesus, and apparently the line "In fourteen hundred ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" isn't true, because the answer to that one was false. You learn something new every day!

I didn't know the math ones at all. I got the Mary one wrong as well (Ross says it refers to Mary being born "without original sin", although Catholics debate upon that. Also he doesn't know what such a question would be doing on a high school test!). The Columbus one I answered that it was false, because he never landed in North America--just islands and then Central America on his fourth voyage (Ross just told me that last part--all I knew was he'd landed on some southerly islands). I wish I knew which others I got wrong?! We did well anyway ;)

Hey, I just added you, I used to be "ashersimeon" & lived in Oklahoma. For some reason, I lost track of your journal years ago but have found you again!

68-84% Pretty good, you know that there are libraries and newspapers, and you remember what you've read. You were a child that wasn't left behind!
