The Academic Thread

I love philosophy. ^w^ And, of course. I am sure we all notice the huge effort you put into everything.

EDIT: Oh, and how can you be sure that you are sure that we cannot be sure of everything?

I've decided not to retake the ACT Do you guys think I'll be okay? I do plan to apply to prestigious universities with low acceptance rates.

According to all that is on the intewebs, your scores are fine. Plus, you're a valedictorian with crazy grades taking AP or IB or whatever the classes are that signify super-smartness Universities don't just overlook that stuff.

@Plugg: And, if you're taking the test in June or something, pray that the building's air conditioner isn't broken. And that your water bottle doesn't leak and no one steals your snacks. And make sure you mark all your answers in the right sections. Yeah.

I have taken a few tests before, but thank you for the advice. ^ _ ^ Any of those things would be horrible. Do you have experience?

[Skyblade]

Thank you, Mhera ^^

With all of them. The worst was the air conditioner; one kid actually collapsed. On the plus side, we got an extra five minutes during the break

@Sky: No problamo.

[Kitsune]

Oh, that sounds terrible. Hopefully you still got good scores, though.

You'll be fine. Stop worrying! It's not helping anyone, least of all yourself! *Hugs*

Be more confident in your decision, Sky.  It's a good one.  Please don't be disappointed in where your hard work has gotten you, because it's put you in a secure place.

@Corny: Thank you *Hugs*

@Banya: Thank you

Okay, I went on my first college visit today. It lasted about seven hours and was, contrary to all expectations, really enjoyable.

[Banya]

Which college?  (Or is that confidential?)  Is it one you're seriously considering?

[Mhera]

It is kinda confidential, since it's very likely I'll end up going there

Soccer finished yesterday, we won our last game 2-1. Now that the one and a half hour practice is out of the way, I'll have more time to procrastinate on homework.

[Hickory]

Who's ready for school after break?

[Skyblade]

Not me
