So... Whats for lunch?

[Sportsdude]

 not from the videos on youtube I've seen. They had an english, german and irish kid talking.
I really don't care if its lower or not, when its the only school that will give me a chance, lets me find myself.  I'll take it.
PLU might have the famous politicians visit and politicians in the U.S. Congress and the King of Norway show up and Walter Mondale, its still only politics for me. I don't care for it anymore.  Why should I go to a school and into a profession that is fueled by anger by me.  Politics is my nuclear bomb. Don't care if I could study abroad in Norway or London University.

If you stay in the U.S, you can continue to work part-time.  Think about that.

Seriously, SD.  There are NO colleges in St Louis that will take you?  

I will literally shoot myself if I stay another year here.
And no unless I want to go to the community college.
Washington University would laugh at me I wasn't the top of my class kid and didn't graduate from a top high school. And my ACT score sucks.
Saint Louis University- is Washington University x 10
University of Missouri Saint Louis- too expensive and wouldn't accept me because of my low ACT score

University of Missouri- I spent a weekend there, that school is NOT me, I'm not on the 6 year plan thank you
Missouri State University- god no, I'll get shot, its Springfield MO, wouldn't accept me anyway, bad ACT score not in the 20s.
Southeast Missouri State- no thanks too close to the farm, boring, and land of Rush Limbaugh


Pretty much my hands are tied.

What does ACT stand for.. and how is it rated? Is it comparable to our ratings of SAT's?

[Sportsdude]

Its the SAT with a 1-32 or 34 rating can't remember

all the schools I mentioned demand a 25-30 ACT and only accept those types of students.
I got an 18.
A monkey got a 14.
I am retarded idiot bum to the elitist schools in my area.
plus my gpa is 2.6
I dropped out of high school to work
finished high school on an internet school (even though its pretty famous apparently Maria Sharapova graduated from it, so I could say she went to my school lol)
I hate Missouri and I can't live in the midwest anymore.
And I'll be 21 or a 'mature' student


 

[Sportsdude]

The equivalent to my current ACT score 16 (they somehow lost my 18 score, brilliant) is an 800.
I'm stupid.
There isn't any geography, law, history, political questions on these things.
 

[Russ]

SAT's are just english grammar and writing skills arent they? I dont remember any geography, politcal or other such things on it?

  Dont be so hard on yourself. There colleges out there for everyone.

[Sportsdude]

 I don't care what people precieve about the place, its just a place where I can hit the reset button on my life and start a new.  My school career isn't stopping at where ever I end up. If I got into Mala I'd then try for my masters at UBC or SFU. It isn't where you start it's where you finish that matters.

My university choices are hard to come by, I looked everywhere and only certain places will accept me. So I can't be picky.

Another place I looked at was Concordia in Montreal. I met everyone of the requirements somehow except for the ACT and that the last day to apply was March 1st.

Its cheaper for me to go to school in Canada. If I went to PLU I'd leave with 100,000 plus dollars in debt in student loans. Even in state schools here are more expensive then the Canadian schools I looked at.

I'm only interested going to school in the Pacific Northwest so that takes a lot of places out. Mainly do to my distain of most of the country. Another reason why I can't go to the Seattle school and go into politics. I don't want to die of a heart attack at 40 from stress.

And why should I be handed something when I have yet to prove myself?
Another place I looked at was Kwantlen in Surrey but they don't have student housing.
   

[Lil Me]

 *yawn* G'night Russmesier  + SD + everyone else out there.
 
 
   

[Russ]

Goodnight Lil Me, DS, and lurkers...

  Nothing wrong with Malaspina.. relax. I was just surprised that you would come to canada and go to malaspina, when you had other schools in the states that are comparable. I have had a number of friends go to college then transfer into Uni for similar reasons to you, its done by many people. Most of them went to Langara or Kwanlen though... Kwantlen is in New West isnt it? Im sure it is...

  Ok, Im off. Good luck with the surgery tom SD

[Sportsdude]

Kwantlen is in a bunch of places. 4 campuses main one in Surrey though.
I like Kwantlen, problem is they don't have dorms and they'd but me in a homestay. The idea of a homestay creeps me out a bit.  I rather live alone or with college kids.

Who knows though, probably will apply there too.
Anyway I'm late for work.
 

[Lise]

If I were you, I'd start applying to EVERY single college anywhere. It can't hurt to try.

[Sportsdude]

that's basically what I'm doing.
I'll apply until I run out of money from college apply fees lol.
 

[Devil]

Wow! This thread is busy in the evening time.

I am too lazy to read back what has been going on, so I will just assume it was all about how much you love the Devil!

  Happy Wednesday. Go get some humping done today!  

[Lil Me]

Hi Dev!  Last night's lunch thread was basically Russ, Pitbull and I drinking and rambling on.  And SD interjecting about colleges and whatnot.
 
 Looks like a great sunny day here.  Another Violent Femmes 1st album day.
