After two years, I had a 2.1 gpa. :laugh: Then I transfered to a community college and got a two year degree. Then a year later I got a four year degree. Three years later I had a masters degree. My GPA in high school was 3.2. At the CC, it was 3.4. When I got my bachelors it was 3.3. When I finished my masters, it was 3.5.

The point is that you have to apply yourself and you can do it. And obviously attend all classes. Don't drop out.

Yeah. I had a 2.4 out of HS, and it did not improve in 1.5 years at Illinois State.
I'm now finishing up the College of Dupage (John Belushi's alma mater ) Adult Fast Track program and have a 3.6 I'll be transferring to the Elmhurst College Accelerated program in Sept and have my BA in Psych in May 09 (just under 4 years all night classes while working 50+ and 3 young children).

Yes, I drink heavily.
Yes, I need a vacation.

I'm tired of being nice to you. You seriously need to escape this impression that the entire world is out to get you (and believe me, plenty of us see your responses this way).

Are you too busy at WoW to read a book, get outside and socialize? Seriously...wtf is up with you?

where does my comprehension blow? i'm telling you several things but you only read 1 of them and respond to it, totally ignoring everything else.

you are not being nice. if thats being nice, i'd hate to see what your definition of being mean is. I have no impression that the world is out to get me, only a few morons on this forum who obviously can't read.

a) i don't play WoW.
b) i am constantly reading books. I just started a new one the other day and I have probably over 30 waiting to be read after that one.
c) wtf is up you? you need to come into a thread and put people down for no reason? what the fvck have i ever done to you? really, how should i respond to someone who makes up stuff and then attacks someone based on the made up stuff?

i think the term straw man might apply here.


go back to my first post (read more than one line; which is what you are doing; unless you simply don't understand what I'm saying)

I wasn't insulting you, just pointing out the perspective of the registrar, the school, and the professors'. I merely gave advice in terms of how you will have to approach a renewed effort to succeeding in school. Again, I commend it.

If at any point I became direct, or personally insulting in your estimation, it was in response to your misunderstanding of my advice.

Take a poll if you wish. I feel that I'm on the side of reality, and simply pointing out the attitude you need to assume if you want to succeed. Tough ****** if you don't have the stomach to take yourself seriously.

WoW comment was an homage to your Ebay thread. I think ATOT had you pegged as a WoWer after that. If it offends, I gracefully apologize. :beer:

what Ebay thread? i haven't made a thread about WoW and Ebay that I can recall.


It was the one in which you asked about Ebay discontuing the sell of certain goods. The immediate, and obvious question to which was "What kind of goods are you trying to sell."
To which you respond: "That question is totally irrelevent to the subject."

Of course, it's the only question that someone can ask in this situation. Anyhoo...it came out based on other similar threads that you started that day or earlier, that you were selling, or interested in buying virtual WoW goods. To each his own, IMO.

The only reason I brought it up here (besides as an example of an inability to grasp irony), was that if you are indeed spending lots of time on WoW, it could be tough to devote that time to serious study. If you don't play it, then no worries. Just be prepared to make major sacrifices of time concerning those hobbies you do have. FYI.

Either way--even I can agree that this line is certainly off-topic in this thread.

Hindsight is 20/20 but you are responsible for your actions...whether they occurred yesterday or 9 years ago. Accept responsibility for your actions and retake the classes rather than looking for ways to justify you blowing off your classes the 1st time around.

i've already accepted responsibility and i'm not looking for a way to justify them.

well, this is what the ATOT detectives concluded based on these two threads. Proof is in the eye of the Beholder,

YAET: Where'd all the items go?

EBAY bans auctions of virtual goods

either way, I already apologized (as bolded) if the claim was innacurate. You do display a particular knowledege and interest about this subject...so why wouldn't it make sense that people deduce these things? You seem that you would be offended if such "were" true...for some reason

Anyway, this is again off topic. Don't blame me for dragging your thread into oblivion
