Where has all the time gone?

Insomnia: by the time you realize you've got it, you're already screwed. Yup. Last night I had insomnia. Couldn't sleep till sometime around 5 AM. Freakin' 5 AM. Well, as it rolled around two, I figured: I'm not doing anything. Might as well study Physics (for my test today). So I study. Then sleep at around 5:15/5:30. Wake up late today, rush to ( Read more... )

Wow -- your mom gives money for the first 1000 points? My dad's policy was that it was a one-shot thing (when I was in seventh grade for Duke's TIP program), and that he'd pay me a buck for every point over 1000. (I was supposed to pay him a dime for every point under 1000, but I figured Mom would intervene before it got to that.)

Then, of course, he had to do the same thing for my sister. Him and his big mouth.

Not exactly. It's $1600 ONLY if I get a 1600. XD

*Rolls dice* The odds don't look great. Well, she did say $250 if I got over 1550 (which should be doable).

Wow, you took it in seventh grade? Smart.

Erg, I took it in 7th and 8th, and I'm taking the ACT this year.

And you know my scores already XD Yeah, my parents won't pay me anything...they have enough trouble getting enough for the colleges I want to go to (basically anything other than U of M that...isn't like EMU or something, heh).

I didn't take it 'til tenth grade. I probably wasn't ready yet. If anybody wants to know my scores, just ask.

Actually, these tests are run by private companies. Dude, the founder of College board must be swimming in money by now...

>_< make him SHARE! u_u
blah, don't like being tested by these people either. =P

I mean, it costs at least $50 frickin dollars to take the test. Then they have those courses and classes to take, and books and software and stuff. >_< The upside is that I have the opportunity to get scholarships since I'm taking/did take them so soon, but even so...yeah. Sigh.

but heeeyy! i just found out you can attend lectures for free. so....
you can have the knowledge of a graduate, but since you didn't pay, you don't get recognition.
