High school and coins...

Two years is a long time man. I got 6 weeks left and I’m sure it will feel like 2 years.

Yeah, emphasis on **cent**!

 

I think it is fine as long as your on your off period or going through passing period. I'm always on CoinTalk when in school and it works just fine.

 

Seniors at my High school take their finals next week and then they are done.

 

2 years is nothing. I'm a few years shy now of my 20th highschool graduation anniversary. Boy, time flies, it sometimes seems like only a few years have gone by...except I'm now starting to get some gray hairs to remind me of the ugly truth.

 

LOL. I got a call from a former classmate who was organizing our 25th reunion. At some point I mentioned that I had a pre-school son and a toddler daughter, having started a bit late. She chuckled, and said that she'd talked to classmates who were pregnant -- and others who were grandparents.

 

I hear ya, I graduated in 99 so I'm only a year out from 20 years. That hurts just to type.

Funny how that works, I have 3 kids, 13,8,and 2 so I just spread it way out...lol

 

Probably, I gave up on homework in the fifth grade. Considered it a waste of time. I knew the material, I aced the tests, why waste time doing homework.

 

I tried the same and did the same. Unfortunately, the teachers who decided that homework count as 1/3rd of one's grade didn't seem to think having a firm grasp on the material sufficient. You were fortunate.

 

HA LOL have fun waiting two years

 

My teachers had the same opinion, homework was one third of the grade. I didn't care. So far as I was concerned elementary, middle, and high school were just a waste of time. The only thing I got out of my public school education were my advanced mathematics, chemistry, and physics courses. Everything else was garbage. My parents taught me to read and write before I ever started first grade, by the third grade I had mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. Most of that was due to my parents as well. From that point until I got algebra in the ninth grade was all just killing time. For everything else I'm self-taught.

 

You may have a future in politics...unfortunately.

 

This is the school you walked three miles to each way?

 

Where to then, if you don't mind me asking...

 

Nope... it was six each way, both uphill and in the snow year-round. Don't be silly..

 

How can it be both uphill?

 

Easy. He lived east of the school. In the morning, he was walking west, away from the Sun, and had to work against the Sun's gravitational pull. In the evening, he was walking back east, again away from the sun, fighting against its gravitational pull.

He's lucky, though. The students who lived west of the school had it downhill both ways, and grew up to be fat and lazy.

 

Always live east of where you work - it keeps the sun out of your eyes on the commute.

 

Or you can just rent office space 2 blocks from your house and save the commute. Best decision I ever made.

 

That's pretty cool, BUT we have seen the results of too much self-teaching in new numismatists, and it's really not a good look.
