AP exam fees are $86, weep. And SAT costs money... and I'll be taking it again next year. And then college applications. Efff my life

DancingTofu · « **Reply #30151 on:** September 10, 2009, 11:20:34 pm »

I only took SAT once and I did fine. Just take PSAT this year. Better prep for much cheaper.

As far as applications, I'm the guy who said "screw it; I'll go to CCC!"

Notice how I'm still the guy with no money, despite the fact that everyone else is going to them spendy colleges. BUT I'm not getting financial aid and don't have a job right now, so there's your culprit.

Well demon you are lucky to have these chances for the ib classes. my school was stupid and had no college classes so i have to take all of them now. so it may be a lot of work but it will pay off in the end

I basically dropped out of HS and went to CCC instead. Best idea ever. :>

Especially now that I've realized that every class I have ever failed was taught by a female, and thus far I have never gotten an A in a class taught be a female, which tells me I just need to not take classes from female instructors any more. (IDK what it is and I'm def. not sexist; I respect a lot of those female teachers who's classes I've failed...I just see a trend and if it's as easy as not signing up for a class with a female instructor I have no issues with that)

Hahaha, and here I am trying to become a lady teacher!

I stayed in highschool so as to graduate with an illustrious 1.76 gpa, flunked out of clark ( while in highschool ), and now I'm on the Dean's List at PCC a year later!
But I'm still f-ing broke... the unis call and I say "Full ride?" they say "No" then I cry big fat poor people stuck in community college tears.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #30158 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:25:40 am »

I think I'm at a 2.5 or so right now.

Anyway, here's the full story, just because I feel like telling it...

So, I got really fed up with High School about half way through my Junior year. Like, really fed up. I was fed up with it before, but I was annoyed to no end because:
1. In order to continue in math I was interested in, I would have to go to PSU. Even CCC only had one more math class I hadn't taken (which I'm actually not minding at this point now that I've switched from math major to Music Major) which I was actually interested in.
2. Administration was bogus
3. Classes weren't focused heavily enough on tests and projects.

Anyway, NCSD has a program called CEO. Basically, you get in the program, pick a community college -- any community college, though 99% of the students in the program go to CCC because it's across the street -- and then they pay up to $700 per term of your tuition and $450 per year for your books. This doesn't operate against your 4 years of financial aid eligibility, so if you're like me, where you plan on getting an AAS in Audio Recording, then getting a JOB in a studio or play with a band part time while you go to PSU studying graph theory and statistics, it's pretty perfect, because I plan on spending 7 years in college before I get my Bachelor's, then I'll probably wind up going for a Master's, maybe even Doctorate because I'm not mainstream enough to get a normal job, and that would be my only reasonable excuse for doing so. Anyway, I started the program last fall after grinding through my Junior year of high school. Started off terribly with something like a 2.7 GPA fall term -- the worst I'd done since Middle School. Got a 1.8 Winter term. Spring term was a little better, but still dismal because 3 credits of A were unexpectedly dropped from my schedule, so instead of the 2.4 I worked for, I got a 2.0.

So that's where I'm at right now. I beat 98% of the seniors at my high school on the SAT with a 2170 (as a junior), yet I'm going to a Community College, barely passing most of my classes, and failing far too many for comfort.

Either I'm going to be rich in 10 years, or I'm going to be homeless.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #30160 on:** September 11, 2009, 12:31:44 am »

I actually think I'd do better as a homeless person than if I were rich. I'm really good at living nomadically...and inexpensively.

they don't effect me as much because the turtle neck acts well as a pantleg for my other leg (no, im not talking about my penis)

You're homeless.

Just kidding. My cousin David went the Audio Recording AAS and then went on in some Audio specific field until he got some special certification that's as close to a doctorate as you can get in his specific field. He did sound effects and sound editing in Hollywood for a few years. Even won one of those Techy Oscar things, but he ended up finding there was little work and when there was work it was 7/23's till he dropped.

Now he's over at Pachanga Casion and is the head of their Audio and Visual Tech for concerts and promotions, he makes way more money and get to play with all the new gadgets. He gets to do a lot of the same things he did back in Hollywood for way better pay and hours, and he gets a food stipend so he eats 4 star food every night. Not too shabby IMO.

HaHA! Quite likely, I kept tripping while running up and down those, so do to many near head injuries and fatal falls I'm a little foggy on escalator conversations. Wooden shoes are difficult.
