^ lucky you, that's pretty badass

i wish i'd gone to a good high school. in most of our ap classes they gave very little homework, you pretty much had to read the textbook and teach yourself if you wanted to learn anything. so a bunch of us ended up failing.

but i got a good education out of it so can't complain too much

the best high school i know is called Le Rosey, its in switzerland, and its where all the princes, princesses (seriously), and who's who go, its one of the most expensive schools in the world because its boarding, and they live half the year by lac leman and half the year in gstaad, and its just the definition of perfectionnn =]
