What is everyond doing this summer?

In late July, I might go down the shore/boardwalk and then to a waterpark. maybe Atlantic City for some gambling. :lol (that's how I got my money for rock band and gh iii last year) :heh

well, we've been going to ohio for this family reunion thing in july, but i think i'm going to skip it this year. then my sister and her husband are coming to visit late july and we're throwing an anniversary party for my parents. i have no idea about the rest of the summer, too soon to tell.

Just sleeping and working so far. I might go on a cruise with my dad's side of the family, but we're still planning it out.

Not to mention a friend I know from Oklahoma is coming here in August for a week. I know her from online, but my mom talked to her mom on the phone and they arranged it, so I know she isn't some creepy internet stalker.

that sounds cool that you're gonna meet someone and you already know she isn't an internet stalker. :)

i am leaving sunday for some trip to ohio with my buddy charles and his friend sean. they want to go to a park called cedar point.
i said whatever. might as well.

i have the rest of today and tomorrow and then i will not be on everyday again until late august.
stay alive dear board until my return please.
vixie let me know if we die. :(

i will miss you guys.

i hear cedar point is awesome. you should have fun if you like rides and what not.

wax, you need interwebs at home man. turn on your ps3 and leech someone's wifi and surf that way. :P

i dont like high rides though. :( i will be standing in line, then sitting on the chicken bench a lot i guess. :)

i have my trusty dial up still. i just dont go online daily at home. i will check in with you peeps weekly probably.

i used to steal some wifi from a neighbor on my psp for a while, but he passworded it. oh well.
ps3 grabs some wifi? i had no idea! i will try it, but know i will hit his password thing anyway.
i will try to get comcast again this summer......... maybe it will happen THIS time.

how about something other than comcast then? verizon dsl? um, roadrunner? something? :lol

Just got back from ten days in Europe -- The Netherlands, Belgium, and France. It was amazing. Now my summer plans are: get my life organized and clean my house :crybaby

Not dying for about a day. After that, I should be fine.

Also, my mom's house is about an hour away from Cedar Point. I'll be going there while I'm on leave in July.

its my only choice for gaming sadly. phone lines not ready for dsl. i could do satelite broadband easily but that is not fast enough for gaming i hear. comcast is the only cable company in my county... i am stuck.

jag what is your opinion of cedar point?

graduate next wedenesday. i got 2:1 btw :D
then the rest of the month just chillin, applying for work on the internet.
then in july or august i will have my first freelance work.
after that hopefully a more steady job.

might as well enjoy this time while i can before i have to join the rat race :(

congrats ol boy!
what is a "2:1:??????

haha congratulating me, it could mean a crap mark :Pp

A degree may be awarded with or without honours, with the class of an honours degree based on the average mark of the assessed work a candidate has completed. Below is a list of the possible classifications with common abbreviations. Honours degrees are in bold:

* First-Class Honours (First or 1st)
* Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1)
* Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2)
* Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd)
* Ordinary degree (Pass)
* Fail (no degree is awarded)

i thought the system was the same everywhere

just looked up the american latin system :X
too much use of the word cum. im immature i know :D

most colleges are the same in terms of how gpa is used but high schools vary. my high school did the A-F scale while i knew of others that had gpa only.

well, i didn't know what it meant either, it seems it varies with the country. i figured it wasn't bad if there was a smiley by it. but it's generally pronouced "coom" anyway, lol.

haha:D
what is gpa?

grade point average.
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1
F=0

so, if you get 2 A's and 3 B's you would take the average and it would give you a 3.4, a B average.... er, yeah. you can sometimes get higher than a 4.0, but that's only special occasions. most colleges run on a gpa system, everyone wants to know what it is.

dsl is what i have and it runs through the generic copper wire phone cables. you should try to go to verizon's site and put in your home phone number to see if it works.

thats what verizon said. phone lines need updating! today is my first day off!

for ours its a percentage for each module
40% D pass
50 C
60 B
70+ A

so my average was 61.44

we usually have percentages too. so an A is anywhere from 70-100%? wow.

here it seems to depend on the university and professor how the scale works. when i was in high school it was

94-100% A
87-94% B
79-86% C
70-78% D
69 and lower F

but i've also been on a 10 point scale:
90-100% A
80-89% B
70-79% C
60-69% D
59 and lower F

after you get the letter grade they assign points to them and average your score into a GPA.

I like it, it definitely is the best amusement park in terms of roller coasters. I spent so much time there that I never experience motion sickness to the slightest degree. Even dropping 1500 feet during aerial refueling is nothing comparatively. I'm sure you'll have fun.

yes 70 and above is an A but in the whole year only one person has had anything above the 70s and that was an 88.

Lots and lots of anime cons D: My dad is a dealer this year and has recruited me to help him out at his booth.

Just did Anime Next and next week is Anime Expo. Then it'll be Metrocon in Tampa and Otakon in Baltimore... after that I think it's AWA in Atlanta but that's assuming I don't have a real job by then.

When I'm not at cons I'm hoping to be at as many baseball games as possible.

Otherwise I'm lounging around happily graduated but sadly jobless XD (where's my diploma anyways? It should be here by now...)

On to topic of GPAs etc:
In high school we used A- 100-90, B- 89-80, C- 79-75, D- 74-70, F- 69 and under.
But in college we used the ten point so I could get a 60-something and still have a D O_o It was different for me. Luckily such a difference never really occurred for me. I got a 3.44 overall. Just .06 shy of honors D: Oh well.
