    I mean credits as far as classes go. Like I had transferred from a school that had classes that counted as half credits, and then some other issues came up in the process of transferring those credits and by the time they got resolved, my senior year, I was like a half credit short in a few subjects. I thought it was dumb but I obviously stuck it out anyway.

    Man, that felt good.

    we only won 1 game this season >.>

    There was some credit issues that took a bit to resolve. Not entirely my fault, otherwise I would of been in '04.

    As for me, I would have graduated in '04, but I decided not to even bother, as it would have meant retaking 10th grade English for a second time. (Not taking it a second time. Retaking it a second time. That's three times total.)

    And I graduated in '08 with a B.A. in English. ;)

    Puyallup isn't hickville by a long shot! There's a little town near where I went to hight school (Oroville, WA, as mentioned above) called Chesaw. They don't even have a school there... or store... or even a gas station, last time I drove through. As a matter of fact, the only business I saw last time I was there was the "Chesaw Tavern." I stopped there thinking to get a bite to eat and was told the grill was broke...

    This town also hosts one of the largest rodeos I've ever been to, every 4th of July. I stopped going as soon as I was able to convince my parents I wasn't interested. I was actually scared of all the hicks that showed up.

    Now, this is not to say all "cowboys" are "hicks", as I loved helping my neighbors practice roping cows and would never describe them that way. But it's scary some of the people who come out of the trees over there when there's a big event like this...

    Puyallup? It's a giant, civilized, progressive city in comparison!

    I went to Puyallup High School. Emerald Ridge opened right before my senior year, and I wanted to go there sooo bad. PHS wasn't bad, but it had its share of ... issues... like any high school, I suppose.

    Its really not all that bad. The system has changed a lot. Granted, I don't really prefer being put in a class with a bunch of complete and total idiots because we are "all inclusive", but our academics aren't bad at all.

    The only thing that hasn't changed is the total amount of weed smoked each year. I mean, holy cow! It honestly seems like that school just emanates weed smoke.

    I'll bet NOBODY here went to my high school. It was a private, all-girls, Catholic school atop Somerset Hill in Bellevue, WA. I went to Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart and am a member of the class of 2000. Bill Gates' daughters currently go there.

    I'm sure NOBODY here has gone there.
