I'd like to do something this summer, but seems I'm stuck with BYU home-study courses... bosh flimshaw indeed

I've been to BYU before. It was for the state Math Competition or something. My teacher that went with us had "connections" and got us into the physics lab. Now that is a cool place! Plus we got to see a chemistry demo with "elephant's toothpaste" and the exploding balloons. The balloons exploded really big, too. ;)

BTW, good luck with your courses.

Too bad people can't earn their way to a God-like status.

working at my new job (start today) and then going to a summer camp for two weeks - you might have heard of it, LEP, in Greely (sp?) Colorado. Followup program to SEP...

New job?
Congrats!

There should be a poll to go along with this.

I agree....

I agree too.

I just got back from our trip to Destin Beach, Florida. All of my e-mail address storage is full and lots of my online passwords have expired.

Later in July I'll go on a French canoeing Trip were we can only speak French (and English if you don't know French). This trip is put on by Concordia and it's up (or down to people north of Minnesota) in the headwaters of Minnesota. It's very fun and this is my second year to do it.

I also built a new AMD T-bird with a 1333 MHz CPU. Big upgrade from my old Pentium MMX 233 MHz Computer.

Hey, did you get your processor online? Some website sold me one, but it was DOA so I've got all my computer parts assembled waiting for a good AMD socket A processor.

As for vacation- heading to the beach and in August I'm flying out to Vegas! Never been there, should be fun.

Buy from Tiger Direct (www.tigerdirect.com)...I've used them several times.

I recommend newegg.com. They're cheap and ship really fast. If you order on Monday, you'll probably get it the same week.

newegg? That's weird.

Ah- the vaunted Voyager camp.... I tweeked (spent two weeks) it at the normal language camp for a year once. From what I year, the program rocks. Bring tons and tons of bug repellant! the Mosquitos will eat you like crazy.

hmmm...you spent 2 weeks tweaking it at camp? was that fun?

I'm going to be having a fun summer: Princeton Review courses and summer homework for 5 APs. Guess I won't have much time to learn ASM, like I originally planned. :( Oh well.

Five APs? My school only offered one, but now that I've graduated they have three. Though my Calculus course was almost exactly like the AP Calculus AB course, but we don't have a teacher's union and the school makes teachers pay for AP certifications themselves. But I took the test anyway.

My school offers at least 15 APs. Then again, we have a teachers' union, although it's not too happy with the district right now because of a contract dispute (we had a teacher walk-out about a month ago).

It doesn't matter how many APs your school offers, it matters how many out of the whole bunch you take. I (pardon the lack of modesty) take all AP classes.

So did I. But my HS probably offered less than yours.

yeah, my high school only offers about 8. But, they have a lot more that are called dual enrollment, which is basically the same thing, but you get credit based on your grades, not on the final. What's great about that is, there's this one history class that is both ap and dual enrollment, so you can get all of your required college history credits done with (presuming you don't major in history).

Mine offered one (US History) when I was there. Now, in the first year that I'm gone, they offer two more (US Gov't & Physics B). And there are plans to add AP European History in a couple of years. I would've taken all three.

No...You're going to start AP classes in 11th grade...DUH! You take PreAP classes in 9th and 10th!

No matter...I'M STILL A CREDIT AHEAD OF YOU ALL!!!!! PARADE! FOR SUMMER SCHOOL! I SHALL FINISH MY HIGH SCHOOL IN MY JUNIOR YEAR AND YOU SHALL ALL BE STUCK FOR 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Not where I go. We can take AP classes in 10th grade (and maybe even 9th if we take Biology in the summer before 9th grade and then take AP Biology during the regular school year)

>>No...You're going to start AP classes in 11th grade...DUH! You take PreAP classes in 9th and 10th!

He didn't say he took AP classes while he was in 9th and 10th grade. He just said he took all the ones he could. I don't think many schools offer more than 12, and that's six per year.

>>No matter...I'M STILL A CREDIT AHEAD OF YOU ALL!!!!!...FOR SUMMER SCHOOL! I SHALL FINISH MY HIGH SCHOOL IN MY JUNIOR YEAR AND YOU SHALL ALL BE STUCK FOR 4 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No I won't. I've already graduated. <ALLCAPS><FLAMEBAIT>YOU'RE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!</FLAMEBAIT></ALLCAPS>

I've already got six credits for HS, and I haven't even started yet! Anyways, I'm gonna skip Biology and take chemistry instead, then AP chemistry, then AP physics. I already took Earth science, Algebra, Geometry, and three years of Latin. However, I'm taking German next year instead of Latin IV.
As for vacations, I just had an exciting camping trip.
First off, our boat wasn't fixed when we needed it, so we left four hours late. next, the traffic was bad, so we didn't get there until nine. Then, we requested a camp site with power/water, but they gave us one without that. Then, we decided just to set up one of the pop-up things. Then, when my mom came back from seeing if they had any other places, she said they had one, so we had to take the pop-up down. When we got to the new site, we found out that it wasn't near the water and it was in the middle of everyone (the people with big lights and TVs/computers) and also that someone had reserved it for sunday. Then, when we setup the pop-ups, we found out that one of the power things wasn't working. After that, we soon found out that somebody had turned the cooler from a cold setting to a hot setting by accident, so a lot of our food was spoiled. Next, one of the zippers to the pop-up was broken, so there were lotsa bugs and spiders and stuff.
But other than that, it was fine.

i'm not in hs and i got 22 collage credits

none in english, though.

that's right, all computers and history

Do you even know who this Charlemagne is? He is my classmate, and both of us are now just starting high school. Sheesh, I'm sure some people must have realized that by now, from me saying "Charlemagne and I", etc.

About your response from the summer school part...SILENCIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I probably will finish high school in 3 years)

What's the big deal with graduating early? If your school has dual-enrollment, you can just take college classes for free at a nearby college. I guess if you didn't have any decent colleges nearby you should graduate early, but I don't have that problem.

There's probably only one good university in Houston: Rice University. So I'll probably go to Berkeley or Stanford (hopefully).

Uh, yes, I know who Charlemagne is.....

Who cares about HS credits and all of that junk?
HS is an experience to be enjoyed (OK, so not always), and not some terrible thing that you have to rush through...

SO??

I'M GOING TO NORWAY, AND YOU ARE NOT!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! w00t! w00t! SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
PPPPPPAAAAAARRRRRRAAAAAADDDDDDEEEEEE!!!!
PPPPPYYYYYRRRRRAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIDDDDD!!!!!

Will somebody shut this guy up?

You can attempt that, but in vain. I'm only saying the truth, FYI.

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

dummy

AAAAHHHH!! I THOUGHT YOU LEFT!!!!!

Who are you calling a dummy??? You're the one that's dumb! You're the one who made your stupid signature and insulting the ticalc.org comment boards!

Pssst...no_one_2000_, RCTPArRoThEaD_, incinerate CalcDrone and lsvllhs15. NOW!

we should have a contest to see who can make the stupidist, most annoying, most vulgur, most obscene, and most insulting coment ever.

YOU PRICK

I WILL INCINERATE YOU CALCDRONE!

RCTPaRroThEaD_: WHAT THE HECK? I WILL INCINERATE HIM! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY...

shut the fuck up u bitches, I WILL INCENARATE THE BASTARD

HEAR HEAR!!!

YOU CAN'T SHUT ME UP, ANSON!!! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE AND I WILL TORMENT YOU UNTIL I FEEL SATISFIED!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Well, that's good, because there are approx. 797 people coming from MCJH to MCHS that don't know who Charlemagne is...isn't that sad??? At least most of them know who Kiran Nair is!!!

Explain....

what is MCJH and MCHS? where are they? is that where a lot of the ticalc people come from?

You sound like you're on Jeopardy (What is MCHS?) :-)

No, they're high schools way down in Houston, TX. That's where Kiran Nair and I are from.

Best category: Before and After
Hardest category: Before and After
Funniest category: Before and After

And the winner of Jeporady's #1 category is: *drum roll* BEFORE & AFTER!

I'm serious! That is the best category! (Watch a Jeporady! show that has that category and you'll be laughing at the responses)

Yeah, but it can also be the hardest......

i like the ape tit and swords categories better.

Duh...

next year I will be in 10th grade and starting calculus...does anyone else do this?

I'm gonna take it in 12th.

Reading all this study agenda make me sick, you know in vacations I will get very drunk, get laid with chicks and take a lot of pictures(because a would´t remember anything from those crazy parties).
Happy vacations to everyone

Um... yeah... you go ahead and do that.
