    Hmm. I've only dropped out once! Clearly I shall need to work harder to match your record.

    It's more of a mark of shame than a record.

    I'm going to go drink now and think about my debt.

    I moved to a school system that didn't have such a stream and managed to totally fuck my GPA in the transition (the old school used a weird 6 point scale, the new school just averaged everything down which wasn't actually how that worked)

    If you want to match DUE's total, I think you would have to do the opposite of that.

    I was in accelerated math and science. I got into honor's English some how but I sucked balls. So I went back to normal English.

    I got into my sister's Honor's Algebra because so many of my classmates hadn't passed the math part of the grad exams that my normal algebra became a math exam prep class. So my teacher (God I love her. She introduced me to Discworld and Terry Pratchett. Among other things.) offered me and a few other students that had passed to join the honor's class since there was only 10 people in it. So I got in the same class as my sister, didn't really do my homework (we had scantrons so I would look at the question, find the answer that looked right and bubble it in.), and read or slept in class. I made an 84 while my sister studied hard, did her homework, took notes, and more, and made an 82. She still hates me for that to this day.

    Then I made an 22 on my ACT the first time without studying and she made 16, 20, 20 on her tests. We both work at McDonalds right now.

    honors English was so great. I bestrode that shit like a goddamned colossus. draft what is draft I will write thesis in its entirety two nights before it is due and it will be so good I don't get it back for a week as the English teachers pass it around between each other and random adults I have never met congratulate me in the halls

    in retrospect that was kind of my high point academically oh well

    If it makes you feel any better I was two points away from a perfect on my ACT because I suck at math.

    And I'm a 26 year old multiple time college drop out.

    I was so smart and athletic then. Ugh.

    I have to do drafts. Not only because of my horrible spelling but because I get so much information down onto a paper that what was going to be a 3 page report became 27 page draft (And that was on Mortal Kombat, violent in video games, and the ESRB).

    Although technically speaking I have a sugar momma so I did aomething right. Except we don't have sex. But I'd never want to sex her even though she's pretty it feels incestous. I'm talking too much.

    I tended to do quite well in English classes and mediocre in math classes.

    Scored higher on math on my SATs.

    Shit, I felt like a genius because the average in my school was 12.

    Then this fucking Johnathan guy that joined my senior year from some Georgia school shows up and does 35 on the ACT. "Only because I ran out of time on the history part".
