    Our teacher says that she's great at figuring out whats BS. I don't really feel like trying to see if she finds it on an extra credit paper

    very true. I never did "extra credit" or "papers" or "work" for that matter. just got amazing grades on tests and did a few in class assignments. not the best way to get through highschool though. I have gotten less lazy since then, though.

    Wow, we have a lot more in common than our cars.

    My IB/AP History (european and american) teacher called BS BSG's. He would automatically give a bad grade if a paper had a single BSG in it.
    The crappy part was, I was so good at broad sweeping generalizations!



    EDIT: BTW, ATX the site in your sig doesnt work... do you have an install?
    I haven't started a log yet because it hasnt gotten intersting, but I will as soon as I get a few things fixed on my car. I'll probably get to the fabbing and permanent install the beginning of july.

    I know what you mean. Practically the whole school is like that. Probably why I'm in the top 5% of my class

    I need to get an A in this class because we've got a ***** of a math teacher. She tries to make the whole ******* room a freezer and refuses to set the AC above 70ºF

    That is a strange reason to want an A!
    That is funny, though, cause in my high school the ac was centrally controlled, yet there was a very high-tech looking dummy thermostat in every classroom, so the teachers would think they were in control. Ironically, my math teacher was the only one who knew the truth. It was so strange though, cause the dummy thermostats controlled the lights in the classrooms... and would go off based on motion detection...no movement for ten minutes, like during a test, and the lights would go off.

    Teacher said it was possible to control the temp as well, but the school had them all disabled for energy conservation purposes, the same reason the lights would auto shut off.
    They probably wasted more money on that stupid, pointless system than they would have spent to put five computers in every classroom. (They only put one in every classroom, a few in some.)

    Shizzle, I do have an install but also I have an I4 I don't have the car right now because I got into a wreck about a month ago and people are slow. but it's a 98 accord coupe san marino red with simple mods, AEM CAI, invader CF hood, TYC projectors, and a CL-s shift assembly ( it's auto )

    0l33l, I didn't work that hard because as of now I finished high school early with alright grades, and have a full ride to UC Berkeley. I did realize I would rather work than not and get the grades anyway, I just hated all the busy work.

    Well, I have an 86% in that class. So I need to do better in another class to make up for it.

    about the lights

    Sorry to hear about your car... hopefully the wreck wasn't because of the carputer.

    I need to get good grades do that I don't end up at SMC or Northridge.

    wreck was because I got maybe 4 hours of sleep in durring the weekend and tried to drive to work. the person in front of the person in front of me slammed on their brakes and i was looking to my left. completely my fault, basically.

    Sorry to hear
    I know what lack of sleep does. Good thing that my drive to school is basically empty

    Bump for the original question. I posted this because I "must turn in [my] list of questions"
