<p>Oh, my average is exactly 91.23%. Not bad for my first marking period, but I’m aiming for 96-100% before the end of the first semester. We don’t rank in my school, either. My overall average would have been much higher, but I got a 78 in AP World History. That class totally kicked my butt. :(</p>
<p>My status though is a solid A. </p>
<p>Oh yeah, I heard that another storm is hitting NYC on Wednesday, too.</p>
<p>^ 90 in AP World. So mad though, because there were people who had A`s and I was not one of them.</p>
<p>The least that my school will do is put the rank percentages on our report cards, but we can ask our counselors for the other stats if we want.
First quarter for me ends tomorrow. It was pushed because of two “snow” days I had last week.
During the storm, did you guys see any of the Sandy (from Spongebob) memes and Facebook pages?</p>
<p>Yep, they were funny. </p>
<p>Have you guys thought about where you want to go to school? I have no idea how to rank them…I’m pretty sure any college with a 30% acceptance can’t be a safety.</p>
<p>^ See post #3413 for my answer to your question.</p>
<p>Slow thread. Sundays. </p>
<p>I<code>ve got a 4 day weekend since election day is off for us, and I</code>m getting braces on tomorrow, so needless to say, I won`t be feeling school tomorrow.</p>
<p>I have Election Day off (and I am hoping America will make the right choice or else I’ll move to Canada) but I have a performance on Wednesday. So instead of sleeping in, I will be heading off to our venue to rehearse with my chorus. We haven’t rehearsed in a week due to Sandy, so we’re really nervous about the whole thing…</p>

<p>I wish I had Election Day off, they can keep Lincoln day.</p>
<p>We don`t get Presidents Day off.</p>
<p>^we don’t get Columbus Day :)</p>
<p>In about 2 days, we will see who our leader will be for the next 4 years (US people).</p>
<p>Yep I’m excited, and kinda nervous. I’m kinda sick of both of them…vote for me instead :D</p>
<p>@goodnoodle, we don`t get Columbus Day either. </p>
<p>@yerhs…yep. In 2008 I remember seeing a commercial like 2 days after the election saying, “Are you happy who you voted for?” </p>
<p>I was like, “Well what does it matter, do you really think we have the ability to change it now?”</p>
<p>Seemed like a ridiculous waste of money. There are always people who complain after the election, or even like a year later about who was elected, but yet, they didn<code>t even vote. They have no right to complain if they didn</code>t vote.</p>
<p>How many kids at you school seem to just say they want whoever to win just because that<code>s their parents political views. At my school, all the time I hear, “______is stupid” and I</code>ll say, “OK, why do you think that?” and they<code>ll say, “Just because”. Seriously, it</code>s so ridiculous. At least have reasons, no matter who you want to win.</p>
<p>End rant.</p>
<p>@goodnoodle, I would, but can`t vote until the next election :D</p>
<p>Really, i cant wait for election day when we elect a 45th(?) president. (Thats all i will say)</p>

<p>For where i live, many of the public schoolers with an exception of the top 5% most favor whoever Jon Stewart, SNL, or other like shows endorse, Which means i get a ton of crp like. “He wants women to roll over dieing in the Streets!” or “He wants the poor too give 99% of their income while the Rich pay 1%.” That one i cracked up on.</p>
<p>For the private school, many of the students are kids to business owners, City council men, Military Officers, Cops, etc. They are mostly politicaly active and all staunch republicans. However, a large majority have 3 or more good reasons rather tahn “He’s Stupid”/ “Just because”</p>

<p>A lot of people in my school are actually pretty politically informed and are able to defend their candidate.</p>
<p>There are a small minority who ACTUALLY have studied each candidate and their policies.</p>
<p>The rest go rolling around saying I hate ___ !!! and ____ is an idiot!!! when they can’t even defend their ways of thinking using their OWN opinions instead of their parents. I don’t care if they’re democratic or republican, but a whole ton of them are just wholly and completely ignorant. I wish the parents would explain their political views instead of using cheap slogans. (I really hate those)</p>
<p>The election is one huge mudslinging contest. No one should care about the candidates’ party, religion, race, economic status, whatever. Just their policies. That. is. it. </p>
<p>I’m really quite interested in politics and have formed quite a lot of strong views myself, but at least I don’t go tooting them around like I’m the messiah with the facts that’ll save the masses, using dumb, imbecile, mud-slinging slogans. </p>
<p>Anyway, I really hope the American people pick the right person! It’ll be a close race!</p>
<p>At least your candidates are much more different to each other than ours! Also, I just want to make this as an interesting statement, not in any way debate, but about 46% (I think that’s right?) of Americans support Romney, and about 5% of the rest of the world. I don’t personally know anyone who likes him AT ALL.</p>
<p>Moving on, we don’t get any special days off school like you seem to, except this year for the Jubilee, except it was in the holidays anyway, and the royal wedding last year. And we get a few ‘bank holidays’ a year, I don’t know if you have the same thing?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They do all of these polls beforehand, but that<code>s just taking a guess. Nobody will know for sure who supports who until election day (and even then, they</code>re not getting a full count since we can`t vote).</p>
<p>The area I live in is mostly Republican, so you<code>d think the whole world liked Romney since that</code>d all I ever hear about around here, but then I watch the news and see people who say “I want Obama to win”. I only know of one person around here who like Obama, so it<code>s actually kind of refreshing to hear on the news, newspaper, wherever that there are people who like him. It</code>s not saying I like Romney or Obama better, but hearing the same things over and over get kind of repetitive.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, get school off for the Royal Wedding, amazing. I<code>d be willing to bet anyone here $100 that if a president was single, and then got married while in office, we wouldn</code>t get off from school. </p>
<p>What are “bank holidays”? I`m guessing no, unless we call them something different.</p>
