Damn right it is! See, I got you beat so bad that you're complimenting me. Yes, that was indeed a compliment. You are own of the biggest idiots I have ever met. You might even give Michael Bay and Lil' Wayne a run for their money.  Because I am superior to them. |

My therapist said that if I stopped caring about grades it wouldn't affect my confidence... but ever since I saw that first D this year... never felt the same man. Maybe deep down, you are actually right.

Don't worry man. I got my first D all way back in 6th grade... Granted I did get it because the teacher absolutely hated me and decided to give me an F on a huge homework assignment just because I didn't do one question. After that I got Cs many times. Right now I'm struggling with Biology and Algebra 2. Although, I do have a B in English, which is surprising seeing as I haven't been doing crap(And have somehow been getting Cs on all the quizzes over a book we are reading, despite never having actually even attempted to read the book). |

Chemistry and Geometry are the bane of my school career. If it wasn't for those TWO classes, I'd still be 7th in my class. |

Also I would be easily passing most of my classes... If I was actually even attempting to try.(I still have mostly Bs and As and it's enough to keep my GPA good enough for college so I really couldn't care less) I generally put as little effort into something as possible until I start having trouble, in which I do start to put in some effort(And then I start passing). If I put maximum effort into school I'd easily have all high As. |

I actually remember in Geometry I wrote a huge essay that covered the front and back of a page on one of my tests. I did it because I had no clue how to work a problem. Also I said "huge" because the essay was entirely about how my teacher should just google the answer. He didn't take kindly to it and then told me to figure out a way to google the answer and bring in a report on it(And the report would be 100 points). I then went and brought back a 6 page report littered with links and explanations on how to find the answer via Googling.

Personally, I really like History and English. Though, outside American History I know very little.

A long time ago, when Evolution (the HHH faction) was still relevant I had a friend in a science class that simply drew a picture of HHH, Orton, Batista, and Flair on a question that asked what evolution was and the process of it. He's an excellent artist too so it was pretty funny. |

Beyond programming, I love history. I love learning about other cultures and learning the history of this world. If I wasn't a programmer my dream job would be to become a historian. Last year I got to go see stone henge, I'd love to go to see some Mayan works and temples.

Last year I got to go see stone henge, I'd love to go to see some Mayan works and temples. Next semester, if everything works out I'll be graduating with a degree in History. I have a professor whose wrote about 10 books trying to push me into grad school but at this point it's not in my plans, not that I'm ruling it out completely. I simply refuse to put my parents in debt. Up to this point they've been able to pay for college without any debt though money is starting to run thin. I would love to go see stonehenge and some other historical landmarks overseas. I'd have to go on a boat though. I'm scared to death of planes. |

My College days are behind me although I'm thinking about getting a doctorate. School debt is one of the hardest things. I'm still paying back my 80,000 loan. I've done well though using deferments so I can pay more on the principal. As of now I'm down to half of my loan. Follow you're dreams though, you have to be satisfied in what you do. |

My dreams are actually in music. My problem is my parents have never encouraged me in music. Every time I bring up wanting to be a musician they ignore it. I know it's tough to make it in music but it really is my main passion. I do love history though and don't regret college. Money is getting pretty scarce so I plan on getting a job and helping my parents out with some things financially. I know I can make it in music without my parents permission but my point is that I never had guitar lessons growing up and they'd also never buy me a drum set. I suppose I could teach myself guitar but at this present time I simply haven't got the time. |

Music is a tough medium to get into. However there are more ways to do it. Youtube has made people famous. I'd say give it a shot and learn. I don't want to ever crap on anyones dreams, because its something that guides them. So long as you know the risks and what it will take to make it in your chosen dream field. You just have to go in and do it. Easier said than done I know.
