Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
That's okay. You and I can be companions in not meeting the family standards.
When I was home for Thanksgiving I was asking my mum about her grades in college, because she's always talked about how 'Oh, I got Bs, my grades weren't nearly as good as in high school'.
...
Turns out she got, like, two Bs and one B+ her ENTIRE CAREER AT A UNIVERSITY. Four years times two semesters per year times four classes per semester equals 32 classes equals 29 As.
Yeah, life's not fair. I'm pretty sure I've got an A in at least one history class, maybe a high B in the class in which I had the oral, high B/low A in the class whose final is tomorrow, and low B in Spanish.
Not bad, but not great either.
Oh well. 's just grades. I'm not supposed to care, right?

I do have teachers like this. Obviously I always get As and A*s.
I got braces. Yay for feeling terrible, and having a mouth full of cuts.
I'm fifteen.BANG → !

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
...D: I think you have a problem here, Koorly.
But don't worry. ;o I won't tell anyone. Besides, American History didn't really start getting interesting until at least the mid-1800's. Say, remember that purchase we made from Napoleon? Over 2 Square Million Kilometers of land? And how 'bout that civil war we had? My were those interesting times.
;o Yes, I do know quite a bit about my own nation's history. This is why my favorite president is Theodore Roosevelt, despite his somewhat devilish dealings in Central America.
@Peren: Aww...;-; Always sucks when the bus breaks down.
Well...hope your winter break is fun! ^.^

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
I repent nothing! Except that time in Y10 when I . . . but that's all.
You have been infected by Manchester. There is no saving you now.
Next thing you know you'll be downing cans of lager and talking about how amazing [insert reality show here] was while wearing seven ounces of 'bling' and flaunting your ASBOs.
Alas, poor Bath, we hardly knew ye.
Your mother's crazy smart. Mine don't have any expectations, not really. I beat them all academically when I left secondary school with actual GCSEs. Anything else is just a bonus.
I pity the younger siblings though. It's a must. If a friend has younger siblings you immediately pity them because they have [Friend's name] to live up to.
Also: for a first term Bs and As is good.
Do you like your sense of taste?
Then you may want to take your time. I've actually given away moe of my sweets than eaten them.
Oh the looks on their faces. Priceless.
I still repent nothing!
Halp! DeeRee, Cyssy halp your fellow humanities geek! QUickly now, before they have me discussing real imaginary numbers in baize space and peppermint resons.
Bathatar!

Heh, there's been A* at GCSE for ages now, but they're introducing it at A level, just in time for it to be available for my year. For once, the education system works in my favour. First, the grades available at A level...
Next, THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT!

Man, you're getting Manchester confused with Liverpool. Manchester just has gangs of racist bastards murdering each other. No more chav-types than anywhere else. By percentage, perhaps even less than places such as Cambridge, Oxford or other smallish towns.
@Dogstar: You misunderstand, we had the A* grade, but it was never used except in official examinations (or mocks for said examinations). Regular grades/work/etc. was all A-D graded.

Ah, the fact you said "in mocks" was what put me off. Despite the fact I have just had my mock GCSEs, at the beginning of Year 10 at my school, we start getting A*s for bits of homework too, just to give an idea of the standard required.

Pfft! Still not good enough! Unless you get a hunnerd percent in everything forever you fail at life! Only the best of the best of the best! How do you expect to get a job with only 12 A*s eh? Some starving African children would be fed for a week on your leftover percentages. Tut tut. For shame.
(says the man with only 2 A*s to his name. 10 As, but those are NOT GOOD ENOUGH also a B)

Too late. I may have been out of training for 6 years, but there's a reason I did county junior athletics in the first place.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
NOT TRUE! I <3 American History. And all history. My major is going to be in medieval European history, though, because a) I love it and always have, and b) the best professor at this entire school, through a huge stroke of luck, happens to be the one who teaches in that area. TWO OF MY FOUR CLASSES are with him next semester. SO EXCITED.
Yeah, Mum IS crazy smart. She got combined master's and PhD in five years (normal, at least in anthropology, is 7) while being a full-time mother for two children under the age of four. While my dad was also in school. I don't know how she did it.
Also, because it's the first semester I'm not too worried. Next semester I should have better grades anyway, because all my professors are exactly the same (except I'm replacing a class taught by Impossible Mediterranean History Professor with one by Awesome Medieval History Professor) so I know what they want from me. The first half of a class is always figuring out the expectations . . . .
Ummmm . . . have some 2000-year-old texts and a Shakespeare play?

Be amazing if I manage that, considering I'm only doing 10, I think. I might be doing 11, I can't remember...
I know I've got 2 A*s already though, so Damn Good Times.
Phase: That's because you are. You're old and obsolete. You should just kill yourself. I'm curious though, how old did you think I was?Last edited by Dogmantra; 2009-12-16 at 06:53 PM.

Ah, Teddy Roosevelt... By far the manliest president we have ever had. He even delivered a speech after being shot.

Re: Il'deav Ilah'naie's Indiscreet Intimacies on Indigo Iceboats Random Banter #135
@Geekish: I take objection to this.
Teddy Roosevelt was shot, then said some words.
Andrew Jackson was shot, then killed the bastard that shot him.
Jackson wins. FATALITY.

In that case you're becoming a big meanie-head hiding all your hair away. Never cut your hair.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
SPORTS!
ATHLETICS!!
No! No! You shall not capture me. I will not be beated by an ex-athlete! Even if he is now doing a Masters degree in Math and something complicated and to do with binary stars which is pretty sweet.
But I will not be beaten by you.
I love Medieval History! Did it for an A Level which I rocked in. It's amazing and I loved every minute of it, true, I focused more on Medieval England (and Europe (and the Really Nearby East)) but it was amazing nonetheless.
Modern history sucks.
It's one of the reasons I'm taking Course II English next year: we can branch out into archaeology, Old Norse and history. How brilliant is that?!
I'd have loved to take Ancient History and CLassical Archaeology as a degree (which is also offered at my uni), but I happily regret nothing.
Yup. Certifiably insanely smart.
I'm going to do that. Not with the children and all, but get to my Doctorate as quickly as possible without ruining the experience.
Awesome Medieval History Teacher is awesome purely by his subject. Is he also amazing for any other reasons? And yep, first term's generally a paddling one.
Then you'll get kicked into the deep end. Can't wait. Can you?
Sweet!
CURLY plays:
The Wrath of Achilles and The World's Greatest Playwright!
Wrath of Achilles goes into aristeia mode. It's super-effective!
The World's Greatest Playwright rewrites THUFIR's history making him an evil man. THUFIR's POPULARITY RATINGS take a critical hit!

Thing you need to know about the first season of Angel. Thing you need to know, is...it's not good.

Perhaps we should be singing Feliz Navidad and overdoing the eggnog, eh? Because nothing says the Holidays like ear-aching pop songs and alcoholism.
