Coming from the person from the country that won't use metric system, I know.

Well, I would love to get paid money for learning, not the other way around.

You started going to school when you were 9? I thought most people go with 7... I started with 7.

Well I think I started when I was early 6. Or maybe 5.

I started school mid-5.

I believe I may have been 6-7, I'm not sure.

I started preschool at 2 and real school (if kindergarten counts) at 5.

My signals professor is literally Ebel. Like that's his last name. He's not evil, though.

Maybe he is. Are you an electrical engineering professor, Ebly?

Well, I'm starting senior year, but still, school could get in the way of something I shouldn't and won't mention.

There is this organization in my college that gives you 100 bucks for every A you get in a math class. But i took almost every class they offer that money for and i was too late to sign up for this semester! Nooooooo

But what im probably gonna do is fill out the paper saying what my major is, take like 3 math classes between now and the end of my senior year, pocket that sweet 300 dollars, quit, and move to a university. They'll never know what hit them. Maybe its people like me as to why America is in a recession........

If you're an engineering student who's getting As, I think a few hundred dollars are a drop in the bucket.

No, but my prior schools didn't have college in the name.

To be fair, I was in a college for kindergarten . . . then I switched out, and then came back again when I was 9.

The senior year was my hardest year. Mostly because I actually wanted to learn and didn't use the "I'm already accepted to college (university)" excuse to take useless easy classes.

When did you get your confirmation letter? My friends got theirs towards the end of the year so they really had no choice but to do their best up until the end.. Not that they wouldn't have anyways. Slackers go nowhere.

I don't exactly remember, but we don't include our senior year on our main applications so they don't usually care.
