then find a remote.
vistany, I think you posted something with a similar attitude a few weeks back. (there's another used named vistene? (or something along those lines.) I always get the two of you confused.) but i'm going to echo what I said then: you need to stop overstressing. If you are going to cite that its AP week, it's no reason to get snappy. If you feel snappy, don't post.
If you don't change channels quickly, you are going to have a rough time first semester. I guarantee it. You seem to stress about minutia. From what I've noticed, you automatically go on the offensive when someone says anything along the lines of "don't worry." If you keep this up in college, you are going to lose many potential friends. And news flash: you are not the only one who worried about college admissions. millions (and if the number isn't that large, then hundreds of thousands) of seniors went through the same process. I am one of them. So I have no problem in telling you to chill out. You are not the only type A personality going to college but you need to tone it down. A lot. You are not the only person who applied to top notch schools and worked their butt off in high school to get to an amazing college like UVa.
In the big scheme of things, it is stupid (or "stoopid" as Cav put it which, btw, is playing with the meaning stupid. I'm pretty sure he did it intentionally.) High school grading scales shouldn't matter when you're going to college. Cav just pointed that out and he usually points out the obvious things that we all miss. it's just his style. Any of his responses are usually short and concise because he knows what he's talking about. He's a UVa student (and from what I've garnered, a pretty damn good one) and as a UVa student, he's sending a general message to potential UVa students that the minutia doesn't matter. Take the message for what its worth and move on.
You know, when I saw Cav's post, I laughed. I usually do. And I thank him for the advice that he's given for quite some time now. It's helped and put things into perspective. And if we could get him to change how he posts, I would strongly discourage him not to. It just wouldn't be Cav.
