jackdonovanOnly taken PSAT so far and and my gpa is a 3.3 rn and I took easier classes this year so I could get my gap up
Im assuming youre out of state? I had a 3.2 and got in but just couldnt afford it. Try and crank on that sat and theyll give you some cash. Also, take the act too, its easier and is essentially looked at the same way the sat is.

ya out of state, also did much better on my act than psat, and will hopefully get my gpa up to a 3.5
I think I'm gonna just save for a year, buy an extremely nice camera and gear, get in touch with all of my good ski friends, try and make it so we're all situated in the same area for a season and make a ski movie.
I really hate coaches sometimes. I played 12 minutes of our 80 minute game and when I was in, like usual he puts me in the wrong position and knows I shouldnt play there because of my asthma (midfielders run constantly) and I belong up top where I only have to run hard every few minutes and I have pretty much the best shot on the team yet he never decides to put me in the spot where I can use my one skill. Hes been known to be an awful coach, which is very true from every alumni I talk to.

I hear you titus, I still hate my football coach because he fucked me over bad my senior year in football. I worked my ass off sophomore year and junior year to get a starting spot on our defensive line, killed it the first half of the season and suffered a pretty gnarly concussion at our homecoming game. I then sat out the next two games after that which I totally understood because I assumed he wanted to make sure I was 100% before returning.
But I played 2 plays in the last 5 games of my senior season. I didn't even touch the field on my last game, a playoff game where he started a sophomore that was like 5 inches shorter than me, smaller and wasn't as strong as I am. We ended up losing that game in overtime.
Ive been trying to work hard lately. Its annoying as hell though, I got pulled up for playoffs freshmen year and last year so this year once the season began I kinda thought "ok maybe I'll start a few times" didnt even play the first half when everyone was tired and playing like shit and then went in for a bit second half. I just wanna have a good last soccer season since its been a big part of my life since my childhood and I wanna finish knowing I got to do my best. Luckily its only our 2nd game so its not written in stone yet that Im a benchwarmer. Im just gonna work my ass off and see if I can get the guy to put me up top so I dont loose my breath after chasing a man down the side, cause then I just start playing like ass unless Im in a scoring position. Asthma has just been a bitch with all the heat weve had lately.

So yeah, fuck shitty coaches.
Yeah hes not got the best reputation for coaching and also that hes a total fucking creep. When my oldest brother played in highschool, he was certainly nasty and couldve gone far if he didnt fuck up outside of school and sports and in one of the most important games of their season he got subbed out for the worst player on the team and the kid lost their chance of making it to the championship by missing a goal from less than 10 yards out with no goalie. This has happened so many times over his years. The guys coached for 20 years and Im pretty sure hes got 1 ship to his name (last year we won) and hes even coached kids who go D2 and one whos been playing for a reserve MLS team.
Baha so today I was at a plane gathering at the town my lake place is at. A family friend walks up to me from out of nowhere and asks if I want to fly with him to a town an hour away just to pick up some smoked salmon and then fly back. I said "yup" and off in the "Trauma"hawk we went.
Just did the math, since May I've slept in a real bed less than 25 nights Looking back I'm pretty sure it was worth it, but now here I am again packing everything I own into my car... Look out Driggs!
Just witnessed an old guy turn left and go down the wrong way down a 40mph busy ass road. He turned around since its not as busy as usual. Something needs to be done about old drivers

JAHpowThe funniest thing was that the seafood place was on the same parking lot as the airport so we just taxied up next to the building and walked in.
RimJobberThoughts on this as an inner bicep tattoo? Its the mountains I grew up in outside of Reno
Honestly wouldn't do it. People are gonna think it's just squiggly lines especially on the inner bicep not exactly the flattest surface of your body for something like that.
I don't feel like finding the surfing thread. But the last two times I've gone I've sliced myself on my fins. Neither time was when I was actually surfing or something. I guess I just kick my feet around a lot when I'm sitting there. The side fins on my usual board are huge though, so they're easy to kick.
The other day I was just sitting there and slid off the back of the board for whatever reason. It's buoyant, so it shot out of the water, but not before the leading edge of the fin got my ankle. Then today I don't even know how it happened but I have a little slice on my foot.

Holy shit tonights the last night of summer as a highschooler, my friend made me realize how sad itll be when everyones gone for college next year and it made me fucking sad, I was almost in tears at the thought of it since hes my best friend who I hang with basically everyday. I really hope I dont grow apart from my 5 close friends, I practically lost one when my childhood to present friend went to boarding school, saw him maybe 5 times this summer and didnt get to say goodbye before he left for college. I didnt realize how weird it can get, and just dont want it to happen with all my other close friends.

Don't sweat it yet man! Leaving for college is sad but it's a fun time and keeping in touch with friends is pretty easy nowadays. You still have a year left with them so make the best of it! You'll always have summers to get together with them and the distance makes the time with them better in a way. College breaks are also longer than hs so don't worry! My friend went away to school and I was really sad that we wouldnt be able to ski together but turns out we got a solid 3-4 weeks in which was awesome. You'll be able to see your friends more than you think.(:
Dropped a class today. Feels good to have a slightly decreased workload, but I would've rather taken the class. I just wasn't getting it. I guess this is what happens when you try to take an Electrical Engineering grad class as a Mat Sci Grad student with a mechanical engineering background.
