Co-op h: Nothing like spending my fall and winter terms for the past 3 years in a nice cozy office. Unfortunately, that meant being in classes during the spring and summer (we have 4 10 week terms). But I will take hot girls in next to nothing over windy cold and rainy walks to class. However, I go to school from the end of March 2004 - June 2005 straight with no breaks

Any suggestions on which subject I should take the SAT2 in? I saved a load of money by opting to not take any AP courses

also, I think Canadian university is different from American university.
I wouldnt consider a 1230 owning the SATS....thats about what I got (1210) and I considered it sorta average:dunno: and i got a 3.26 in HS and took a few AP courses....the wierd thing is I have the exact GPA halfway through college at this point too....you'll look back at HS like it was cake once you hit College, but you'll adjust.

Most kids find college tough because HS in the US is a joke. Most schools abroad prepare students for college even before they graduate HS, most of them have all the credits they need to finish their freshman year in college. When I started they gave me 24 credits just for graduating HS.

I have two finals due this week, one I am finishing up today, than next week I have to write up a 2 page report discussing what I learned in this class as far as usability on websites.

Wensday I have one project due, it was a pain in the ass doing this thing, it wasn't easy creating a corporate identiy package, but I pulled it off, with the teachers specs.

Than next week I have a movie due, I haven't even started it, it shouldn't be hard at all, just need to take some pics and animate some transitions between screens.
