How were/are your marks in school?

Eh. A's and B's. My GPA is like 3.7 or 3.8, and I'm in high school right now.

A's. I have a 4.79 GPA if you count Honors/AP classes as 5.0s. If you don't, 4.0.

It'll only be a couple months more before my first year at Univeristy will be over. I think that I've been doing pretty good with a 70ish average. But in highschool I had around an 80 average, so I've seen a decrease in my performance.

You just gave an exact description of my situation. Except I go to York. Cools, we're in the same city

I do not blame the decrease in marks on a decrease in performance, though. I blame the bulltrout university system and their startling inability to assign proper grades. Think about it: in high school you are marked by teachers. With TEACHING DEGREES. And they have no pass/fail quota to fill. In university, we are marked by some goddamn TA's, 3 years older than us, with NO TEACHING DEGREES. And they have to assign marks that conform to a standard. And we're paying for this crap. It's the biggest moneysucking scam out there, and pink bunny rabbits. (I was going to say "I want them all to die", but I was getting too pissed so I had to lighten the mood.) Yeah.

It must me supperior. They teech you how to spell so godd.

Oh, and I know what you mean by "superior". I have friends that go there. You mean increased workload and expenses. Count me out. I'm just chasing the graduation paper, and I'll flow like water through the easiest path to get there.

My typical report card throughout both highschool and college was mostly B's, one or two C's and a single A. That equated to a 2.6 or 2.8 semester GPA in college, or thereabout. I don't know how I did specifically in highschool, GPA-wise, but I do know that I was in the top 25 percentile. I've always been modestly "above average", but never spectacular. I was "above average" enough to get through college, but not "above average" enough for entry to most graduate schools. I always manage to find just the right amount of effort to get about the same grade in any class, whether it's hard or easy. For some reason, I could never really strive for A's, but always settled for the easy B or C. Yay for ambition.

You know what they say; friends don't let friends go to York.
