Graduation

[jackfb13]

I hated school when I had to go. I would fake being sick simply so I could get out of it. It got to the point I refused to go and attempted suicide. It's not like I had bad grades, its just something about school that makes me crazy.

I am currently out with a GED and am studying to become a Electrician. Its funny when you think about it but i'm only 16.

So technically I graduated before all of you!

man I feel a bit like you, not suicidal yet but the only reason I've been going for the past two years Is cos I dont know what else to do, (dont want a trade, dont wanna go to uni, dont wanna be a dole-bludger)

[jackfb13]

Yeah the suicidal bit passed. I just kept thinking I can't do this for two more years.
If you feel that way why not get a GED. People act like it's hard to find jobs but i've been working as a journeyman electrician for a while now.

You guys are making me feel really old and pedophiley.

Got one more exam this semester at 9...so in 4 hours from this posting. After that I have 2 years of under graduate study left (just passed 3) and then a couple years for graduate school to get my Masters in EE been thinking of going all the way to a PhD so I can end up being a professor. Cool thing is once you get into graduate research the school starts paying you to go to school.

Just about everybody hated middle school. High school is way better.

Enjoy, my hometown I believe that says 152 people, but as of right now, we have tons of oilfield trash floating around our school system, and a huge road construction project just started, so there is a whole crapload of people. FLUX SUX! (e-cookie for the book)

That just boggles my mind. If you're in Montana, where there's so much space, why make a town that's only a square mile? It just seems like it could be a lot bigger with no issues, then you'd have fewer towns, fewer zip codes, phone exchanges, etc, and it would be easier to organize.

Ironically, the city I live in is slightly over a square mile and has over 39,000 people in it.

As far as graduation goes, that's next year for me (you should be able to figure out where I got to school from the above link).

I guess it used to be lots bigger in the 50's (like had a movie theater and stuff), but everybody kinda left. And while the town is only a square mile, the whole surrounding area is farmland. And our family drove through hoboken on my christmas vacation trip

I wish I was graduating this semester - I just finished my fifth year of college. I'm only 8 hours away from a chemistry degree. Most of my friends are graduating this semester

Jeez eurddrue - that's a tiny town! My graduating class was like 1,050 students. Of course, it's the biggest high school in Oklahoma...

Once you get to the end of high school, you'll hate it too.

I left school in '06 but it wasn't really a graduation. Its not really though of like that, no real fanfare is made

i had a year of about 500 i think, something like 40% passed (and a pass is at least 5 C grades out of usually 10 or 11 subjects).

Im just finishing my first year of uni at the moment, got a few exams coming up and hopefully i should pass

The only thing that gets reffered to as a graduation over here is the end of Uni where you get to wear the robes and mortar board caps and stuff.

I just graduated high school. Four-hundred and fifteen people graduated and there are about four-hundred and fifty people total in my class. Right now I am getting fat due to all of the freaken cake and finger foods I have been eating all day at everyone's party's. Eight more to go...

Once you get to the end of high school, you'll hate it too.

^^^^Could not be more true.......
