<p>Well you have school off today with the snow right?</p>
<p>congrats duke on that score… will pretend I haven’t read the rest of your comment…</p>
<p>@2200&B
I think we might be the same person… Got any favorite sports teams? If so, that will be the ultimate decider on whether we are clones or not.</p>
<p>@TinnyT
That sucks, but on the bright side you live in Chicago and I live in corn country. :P</p>
<p>Yeah. I’m getting a lil freaked out… lol… :D. jk
I think this might be our first difference, and hopefully proof that we are somehow not the same person… I am not into sports that much cuz never had the time to be THAT of an avid “match watcher” lol… </p>
<p>But I love Barca for my own non-football reasons+ of course the fact that they are rockin’… :)</p>
<p>Ok, in that case we are in fact different people, since I don’t even watch association football/soccer. We can both sleep easy tonight, haha.</p>
<p>LOL… You put my mind at ease… what are you into then?
let me guess. American so… umm… basketball?! lol… ok biased I know</p>
<p>Where are you from 2200&B? Spain is my first guess. I as an American have a strong love for soccer/football even though i stopped playing in 8th grade and don’t really watch it. My dad is a huge Arsenal fan and it sorta rubbed off on me.</p>
<p>Over here in MD everyone is convinced that we’re gonna get a huge snow storm tonight or tomorrow but im not buying it. doesn’t mean i don’t want the snow, i just don’t think we are gonna get it.</p>
<p>lol… look what you’ve done Chet, now I’m 2200&B… lol not bad actually… XD
I’d rather not say where I’m from or any personal info about myself… I dunno, but staying anonymous on this forum makes me more comfortable for some reason… You know, ppl not knowing EVERY SINGLE thing about me and in turn not judging me in advance… as I told you in my school “once sth, always that thing” and although it helped me like you see, I don’t like it… I mean I’ve been in the same school for over a decade so… (We don’t have that different schools for every level… since I’m in an international school… we just go to different departments in the same school…) So am fed up of all that…
lol… does that make me weird? I mean I’m not the first or last who wants to stay anonymous :)</p>
<p>no not at all. i totally get it. I went to a small k-8 school with 36 people in my graduating class for the first 9 years of my life and it was a bit refreshing to be slightly anonymous when i moved to the public high school. One girl in my class this year hadn’t even realized we’d been in the same grade for three years. Sorry if my question made you uncomfortable.</p>

It wouldn’t let me reply since I only have 8 posts, so I’ll just respond here. I’m not studying for the SAT… mostly because I’m not taking it, haha. Around here we usually just take the ACT unless we’re trying to get into Ivies, which I am not. And what brought me here was searching/researching colleges, and then I had a question or two about the ACT so I made an account. Now I basically just use it to post here.</p>
<p>And yeah, I’m into American football, basketball, baseball, hockey. Basically everything besides soccer, ironically.</p>
<p>@mary,
no no not at all… I am not even slightly offended… Just that I am getting asked that a lot lately and wanted to make it clear as not to offend you. I can’t wait for Uni to get that “Slightly anonymous” feeling… lol</p>
<p>@Chet,
I didn’t know you couldn’t PM before a certain # of posts! srsly… well then that really puts me at ease… I like other sports too, but as I said my knowledge is that of one look for “general knowledge”… lol</p>
<p>I have a friend too who just moved from U.S to here… she used to live in Michigan … And she doesn’t know what SAT is!
Well, she doesn’t even know ACT in details, just that it was the test she “was supposed to take over there” lol… Don’t they introduce this stuff in schools or what?! The girl’s a junior who had lived her entire life in U.S. and only came here on the 2nd semester… but who’s taking all her knowledge from us internationals! lol</p>
<p>yeah,… and btw, chet… I recommend you make some thread and post a lot on it… lol
would make the process easier and all… lol</p>
<p>dude… is it me or u have more than 8 posts?! How do you calculate the # of posts ppl… lol</p>
<p>Posts in the High School Life section don’t count as posts since it’s just a general conversation place. </p>
<p>And I would think that most Americans know what the SAT is, but outside of the east coast many never take it. I’ve taken the PSAT, which is basically the SAT I guess, but I prefer and perform better on the ACT.</p>
<p>oooh… ohkayyy.
Yeah… I find it very weird. srsly… It’s YOUR curriculum. how come?! Doesn’t make sense to me… so public schools don’t play ANY role in the lives of those who don’t care about their own future… No “enlightening” lectures or anything?!</p>
<p>In the lives of those who DON’T care? At least at my school, no not really. I mean there are some teachers that actually care, but a lot don’t. Especially in the college prep and regular classes. The counselors at my school are pretty indifferent too, actually. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great teachers that do care, but even they only care if you care. Which is understandable I suppose. </p>
<p>Again, this is the case for my school, which is pretty much a diploma factory that sends most kids to the local community college, a decent amount to below average “directional” state schools (Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois, etc), and a small minority to good state schools (UIUC, IU, etc). We did have a student last year that was accepted to Harvard though, but went to Alabama because he was offered a full ride scholarship.</p>
<p>@Chet
My school is just like that…most prestigious acceptance was UIUC.</p>
<p>yeah mine too… Except it’s international as in you know “private” so it goes by what the students want, and since when do students want to study!?! srsly…</p>
<p>Of course, I too am not saying all private schools are like that, just that mine is… sadly. We pay it a great deal of money, and here you go… prob is we can’t afford to pay just a lil more so I can go into a stricter one… It’s too late now anyway…</p>
