<p>Because tonight I felt completely invisible.</p>
<p>::looks in spare cupboards for Kate's soul::</p>
<p>Sorry...not here!</p>
<p>How dare you insult her search?</p>
<p>:looks in drawer:<br>
Found it!</p>
<p>Maybe you don't have a soul? Maybe you're just another Sentient Machine like me?</p>
<p>Join the club! :)</p>
<p>Maybe this is a time to reject the parents...</p>
<p>or to get off CC</p>
<p>just for a little while, i mean.</p>
<p>My grade in science went from an A+ to an A. I got an A- in yearbook. I am going to strangle my teachers and beat them to death.</p>
<p>How does one get an A- in yearbook? What, you failed to print a picture correctly? Students didn't like the cover? I am astounded that anyone would a get a grade on such work. Whatever happened to free production?</p>
<p>or maybe your "soul" shouldn't depend so much on grades...</p>
<p>You'll beat them and strangle them for those grades?? That's dumb although I remember being ****ed when my journalism teacher gave me a 93 on my final exam, bringing my final average from a 100 to a 99.</p>

It doesn't. When I made this thread I was thinking about something else. </p>
<p>My science teacher is a very small person, and he lied to me BIG TIME last month (he tried multiple times to stop me from entering a science competition that was extremely important to me). I got better grades on my work this trimester then I did last. And my grade lowers. Something is wrong.</p>
<p>He is merely salty at the fact he could not fake you out, probably.</p>
<p>^^What? I didn't understand that, could you elaborate?</p>
<p>Anyways, I'm this close to transferring to a public school for high school.</p>
<p>Do it. Be the number 1 in public instead of like number 10 in private.</p>
<p>I know, but then what if I'm not as prepared for college as prep school kids? I've heard many of those stories. I used to go to public school, and now my impression is that the public school grading system is objective--"you scored this on your homework, you scored this on your tests, here's your grade." And then the private school grading system is subjective--"I didn't feel that you tried as hard this time, here's your grade." Now I'm saying this as I'm upset, so maybe there could be exceptions made or maybe I'm wrong altogether.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>ah, you'll be prepared. and if you arent, you'll be in the same boat as 90% of the kids at college.</p>
<p>I've put my soul in a safe so I can sell it to Goldman Sachs when I get a job with them in six years...</p>

Keep in mind that most college students come from public schools. Does that mean that they weren't as prepared as prep school kids? Not necessarily.</p>

I don't mean prepared to get into college, I mean prepared to do really well once you're there.</p>
