[Dalya]

for the nerd club that i am officially in. i got a 101 on one of my Lit midterms.

is mere in the club too?

[mere1975]

Yes. I am squarely in the club.

- Mere "4.0 (actually, a 3.974 thanks to the a-hole who gave me an A-)" 1975


EDIT: See what a nerd I am?

[Dalya]

damn. i want a 4.0. as of midterms i had a 3.7 i think. i have a B- in rhetoric which is how-to-deal-with-being-in-college. what the hell?? if i get a B- for my final grade im gonna send a bag of flaming shit to mr. nazir

[squeezle]

woo hoo - i got a 102 on my social organization mid term - yay nerds!

[Irock]

Gimme your lunch money.

i "perfectly happy with a B average" rock

[Dalya]

i'd be happy with a B average at Harvard or Brown, but if I got Bs at UTD it would only be because of laziness.








that's a lie. I want to get A's at Harvard and brag about it till I die, driving everyone around me insane.


p.s. someone tell me where to apply/if i should apply to transfer

[Tracy]

I have a Fort Worth acquaintaince whose daughter is a freshman at Brown. You reminded me that I need to give her (the mom) a call and see how she (the daughter) is doing. She applied for early decision and got in. (She was a National Merit Finalist.)

[aquaphase]

all Forkers gals rock the studies yo.

[mere1975]

(She was a National Merit Finalist.)

So was I, last time I was a nerd.

Well, clearly I've always been a nerd. I just took 13 years off between high school and Art Institute from having my nerdiness show up on my report card.

I don't know what happened to me at TCU. I'd get a 2.5 one semester, then a 3.8.

(By the way, Tracy -- you asked the other day and I forgot to reply that I wasn't in the TCU Band.)

[Irock]

if I got Bs at UTD it would only be because of laziness.

Oh, my average is totally out of laziness. Or as I like to call it, "the law of diminishing returns." Here's the way I see it:

Where:
Full Time (plus) Job = A
Part Time School = B
Personal Life = C
Increased Future Earnings Potential / Hiring Prospects = X

A + B + C = X

OR

A + 1.5B + .5C = 1.1X

OR

A + 2B = 1.2X

So you see, as C diminishes and B increases, X increases as well, but only by a factor of B50:X1.

See, I did learn something in Econ and Algebra! Now Steve can check my work. I'm guessing I'll get a B.

[mr_j]

i was never cool enough to be a nerd.

i was never cool enough to be a cool kid, either.

shit, that explains it all.

[Dalya]

i was a national merit semi-finalist. if i got one more point on the PSATs i would have been a finalist. ONE. how's that for sucking? I'd be at Yale right now hanging out with Rory if I had only known what a "cravat" is. Poor me.

Major history test tomorrow. Let's see if I can keep up the nerdiness. I didn't do that well on the last one, so I'm praying for an A+. Come on, jeebus.

[Rebecca]

I spent five hours on Saturday and six hours yesterday working on papers and projects and homeworks. Going to school full time and working 30 hours a weeks is really taking its toll on my weekends.

It's funny how I am making As now even though it's way harder and I'm way busier than I was a couple of years ago. I guess I was immature and unmotivated.

Re "graduating in May.. weeee!" becca

[Dalya]

i don't work and yet i still spend all my time studying. well, i do cheerlead. and there's the given 2 hours a day watching gilmore girls. thats keeps me pretty busy.

[mere1975]

Major history test tomorrow. Let's see if I can keep up the nerdiness.

Did Jeebus help you on that test? How'd it go?
