SAT is alright, ACT sucked hard. Got an 1800 and 23, respectively. Christian Brothers University is a great engineering college, FYI [the one I'm attending right now].

Oh man, you are missing out

I can still remember being so pissed after a long night of drinking, barely making it to my morning class and then falling asleep on the keyboard... until it started beeping from holding the keys down and woke me up momentarily. Ahhhh good times

Nope. Not missing out. I know that. I'm only missing out on going to parties, getting drunk, and 50/50 hooking up with a chick/making out with someone I don't know.

That's not how I roll.

Whats this summer you speak of? Wait til you start working and you miss being able to be outside and wrenching on your car in the middle of the day. I only get weekends and evenings, but even then I'm still paying for my student loan and crap so its hard to spend $ on anything but bills.

I usually put in at least 32 hours even during school. I plan my school schedule usually around work lol. I go Tuesdays and Thursdays and have 5 classes scheduled each day. It's a bit much usually I've just done 4 classes on TR I'm waiting until add/drop week to see if I can add in a monday night class. During the summer I usually work full time this year we had too much help and I got shafted on hours, I only averaged probably 20 hours a week for the summer; I've never had this much free time in years lol.

hehe, last time I had a "summer off" was.... um... 10 years ago

Paying student loans suck a$$ and just when you finally get them paid off.... you find yourself in a house or condo paying for another loan... for the next 40 years

You still got quite the load. Two honors and two AP classes...and math, of course. I did have those sorts of classes when I was a HS sophomore, that's for sure. The colleges will love you when they see the honors and AP classes.

I can't wait, I've been out of school for 2 years so I'm hopefully not anywhere near having my own house yet. My gf has a different idea on that though.
