Testing the colors

[color=(red)] This should be red Ooh, you're doing debate, lucky! That's one of the maybe, three things I miss about brick-and-mortar school - debate team opportunities.

Oooh, Yale has a modern Middle Eastern Studies major <3 <3 Yale's lookin' pretty good now, haha I'll definitely shower you with questions at some point, haha - I'm doing a lot of college research this year because I'm going to study abroad next year. 6 visits, gosh, I'm behind, I live near 0 major colleges and have visited 0 colleges. Well, I walked through Pitt once XD. [/color]

Yeah I love debate. At my school, I am the 'jock' because I won a few national robotics competitions and am crazy competitive. This can be good, but it can also antagonize me. From myself.

Also, I know a lot about colleges and I would love to help a fellow 16'er out. Do you have a specific geographic location or something because currently you are all over the map. (Not a bad thing)

Any of you watching the debate? My speech teacher is giving out extra credit to those that watch the debate and write down some speaking skills noticed.

On an earlier note, I'm taking the computer science class from Harvardx and the chemistry class from MITx. I'm trying to see if the comp sci class can be counted for my technology credit. I also want to see if I can take AP chem next year after taking MITx. Anyone taking courses from Coursera?

I'm so glad you guys like edX, but how do you feel about the level of the courses. Some of them have pre-reqs so that you can see whether you could do well or not. But then again, it is free and only beneficial.

What is coursera?

I've got no school tomorrow, thankfully. A long needed break from school and the world.

Courser is a site with almost 200 *free* online courses from many colleges all over the world. It's basically edX but run by different people.

LOL MOMENTS TODAY:

Got a 92 overall in Health....the cutoff for 4.0 is 93

I subscribed to the thread so I can auto-respond and have random post hemorrhagic behavior at 9:40 when I have to homework

Ooh I love online courses. I'm taking them in AP Chem and AP stats next year on VHS (my school pays for them) Freshmen here aren't allowed to take AP courses because we have mandatory health/tech/phys ed electives, which makes me so sad!

I don't have a natural proclivity for debate, but I'm part of Model UN!! We're having our first meeting next Thursday :]
