If I had a rocket launcher, I'd...have a rocket launcher, and I'd be sooooooo happy.

Boom!

I've heard it so many times now, I'm beginning to believe it myself.

Woe! I think I'd better calm down and listen to The Kinks. If my mum's the one with diabetes, why am I the one who's so anxious? Anxiety sucks.

They (the high-achievers) generally do pretty well, but it's due to painful last-minute cramming and learning to the test instead of learning out of curiosity. I did that with a few of my non-science AP classes and got pretty good scores (4s and 5s). Generally, not many people self-study for the exams without taking the class (although I've taken an online AP Psychology class that's not offered at school, and loved it). I think the classes that "require" an AS special interest to consider easy would be European/U.S. History, Chemistry, Biology (for some), Calculus BC, and Physics C. (I say history mostly because it gives me the most headaches when I'm trying to memorize stuff. Surprisingly, I'm pretty good at memorizing biological and psychological terms.)

The need to be accepted into an elite college has become ridiculous because people somehow think they need to get into one to get a good job later in life. But I agree with you that most of the (statistical) additional income comes from the quality of the graduate school and mainly how well you do there. These preconceptions need to be dispelled. After all, how would new colleges gain a prestigious reputation if no one knows about them? College applications should be based on fit, not prestige.

It really stinks that a petty PE class brought your grade down. I'm starting to think they're biased towards athletes.

About the issue of perceived racism, one of my friends (who also has AS) is experiencing the same thing. What he says may seem racist at first glance, but when I think about it, he really is just demanding equality and pointing out the truth. Statistics have proven it already.

That was a good lunch that I had. I had chicken, rice and corn mixed together with soy sauce. :)

I left a goofy message on the answering machine for my least favourite staff person at the clubhouse this morning. Now, I'm actually there in the library.
