eclipse Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Shut up and waste time to make me feel adequate. Did LOTS of that in Women's Studies. . .and got into one of the classes thanks to a stray AP credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's probably because I, since my first day of high school, live in a completely shut-out suburban crap-town. I totally confused you with the OP...hahaha. Well, at any rate, nice looking schedule you got there. "Advanced functions and modeling," huh? I'm guessing that's Algebra II? How are the honors courses at your school? My school's honor courses were no different from regular classes... I want to learn German and Arabic, but I have no time. :( Algebra 2 was last year. At our school it's Agebra 1, but I took that in Middle School since that was an option. Then Geometry, then Algebra 2. From there it gets a bit confusing depending on what you want and if you're in Honors. But I know we have stuff like AP Stat, Trig, and a few other things I think. You just need 4 math credits and AFM (Advanced Functions and Modeling) is like the basic one. Honors classes are pretty much the same material at a faster pace from what I've heard. I don't really have a comparison. The teachers basically say "You are mature enough to handle more work at a faster pace by being Honors." So yeah, more busy work. Sometimes we will have stuff like additional projects or something, but those aren't usually too extreme. Not quite sure what I'm gonna do with all these languages yet though. Teacher is an option, and I suppose Translator or Interpreter is too. I've been interested in News lately, but hell, I'd be willing to just drop out and move to Europe and be a waiter forever.

Esau of Isaac Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Did LOTS of that in Women's Studies. . .and got into one of the classes thanks to a stray AP credit. I had honestly thought Women's Studies was made up by right-wingers as a scapegoat to mock the 99% guys. This is surprisingly intriguing and intriguingly surprising.

Maji Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Whoever said that I wanted to be a millionare? I know that I won't be one, that's the fate of any meteorologist that isn't on the Today Show. And furthermore, I'm not one of those individuals. The whole "prestige" thing is stupid anyway, you go where you get an education. That's it. I went to a standard school and I got a damn good education there, at a school with only 5 professors in my field and a graduating class of 14 people. I'm not going to any prestigious school, I'm going to the place I can afford. I'm going to a school that has one of the major researchers of tropical cyclones--that and lower costs are why i'm going to UNC Charlotte for my graduate program. I'm not at all expecting to make my dad's wage (psychiatrist) but I'm going to be doing something I enjoy. THAT is enough for me. Aside from that, you're on a Fire Emblem forum where there are debates and statistical analyses on these games. Near type-A personalities are kind of expected. If you find something you really enjoy, you will do your damndest to succeed at it. That's just human nature. People who actively pursue what they enjoy should be happy no matter what the salary...

eclipse Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I had honestly thought Women's Studies was made up by right-wingers as a scapegoat to mock the 99% guys. This is surprisingly intriguing and intriguingly surprising. Women's Studies does some things right (domestic abuse awareness) and not-so-right (I had a professor attempt to justify pedophilia). It's a class where you'll have to analyze a completely drastic view point and throw out the stuff that's too extreme/makes no sense (assuming some poor girl's gonna get knocked up at 16 and pregnant, as an example used in one of our books). They also support the LBGT movement, and I have no objections to that. It's one way to use AP credit, albeit not an obvious way. Some courses will have strange course pre-reqs; thus, the research on "what do I want to do after college?"

Thor Odinson Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I agree man metal is a pretty broad genre and yet so many people stereotype it into one thing :< It makes me sad.

Anyway listen to whatever music you want, really. I listened to classical music, and spent all my spare time in the library! Also, no one really cared, as long as you don't blast the shit out of your music, no matter what genre, no one really cares about your music, at least I found.
