No idea what my GPA is and I'm taking the SATs a second time this summer. My first score was a... 1320, but I know I can do better.

Well if chasing my dreams is like driving a car I need to get a new dream cause my car is dead *kicks the rusty bucket and watches as it gives a lurch and the exhaust pipe falls out*

(See 'GPA', above). That's amazing! I made a 1320 on my SATs, back in '76! No foolin'! At that time it was one point per question, 750 English and 750 Math, for a possible total of 1500. Do they still do it the same way?

Wow, double amazing! I also scored 1320 on my SATs, back in 1980 - 650 Verbal, 670 Math - on 5 hours sleep and a touch of a hangover. Some friends and I decided to "buck the system" and have a party the night before.

Edit to add - I never claim to be smart, only intelligent - there's a big difference!

So many writers here, damn it I’m going to convert at least one of you.

Come to http://www.free-writers.org/forums/

Really, I mean it, do it now.

If you want help on your writing you can get it, if you want to talk about writing in general you can do so, if you want to talk about why you write we have a thread all ready for you. There are a lot of people who say they are writers here so why don’t some of you go there?

Come on, please. We always like new faces, sharing your writing is good, and at the moment I’m the only Firefly fan. These people deserve to be converted but I’m not good at making that kind of a pitch.

That’s Kent State as in the Kent State, right? I think there only is the one, but it is often good to double check.

My dad almost went there (on a swimming scholarship iIrc) he’s convinced he would have died if he did. Something about always standing in front.

They have the new SAT's this year but I think it's still graded the same. They got rid of the... boy, I can't remember what they're called. Blank is to Blank like Blank is to Blank. The word is on the tips of my fingers.

Analogies.

Yes! Analogies! Thank you!

And yes as in the Kent State with the protestors killed. You can see the bullet holes still in the statue in the commons.

Great Forums! I used to lurk around awhile back. I've had a massive case of writer's block on and off the past couple months so I'll definelty try to come back and mosey around.

I go away for a few days...

First of all, taking it all the way to the top, I never said nothin' bout no hazing. Geez.

To GwenHarker: I, too, am a media production type person. I'm a sophmore at a kinda small university in LA (that's Louisiana, not California).

I'm glad you got a good start on learning the equipment. I walked in completely green. And let me just tell you, when you start production classes, nobody likes a know-it-all. Heh.

Good luck with your tests. Maybe we'll work together on a "Serenity 3: Reaver's Revenge" in a few years.

They're two great amusements that go great together; but, can only be assayed as a duet under this one special circumstance.

I won't smoke a cigar indoors. The smoke, while pleasant (to me) as you're smoking it, is dreadful once gone stale, and it really hangs on to your carpets, drapes, and furniture fabrics.

So, cigar-smoking is an outdoor sport -- especially since someone complained loudly enough to have it banned in sports bars, here -- while movies are an indoor entertainment. ...Unless you've got a drive-in theater in your locality.

Patronize your local drive-in. If you haven't tried it, you might find you like it...

Puffingly,

When I smoked my cigars, it was always outdoors. But I had never considered the drive-in movies...hmm, sounds like fun!

And the kids can get in free if you hide them in the trunk, but some people could take issue with that!

Kent State? Kent State is my arch rival! I went to the University of Akron. Not Kent Read, Kent Write, Kent State!!!!!! Agh!!!

And good old UA also has a media program and a radio station. I actually started off as a communications major. I swithced to advertising though. Business is more up my alley and advertising allows me to still be creative with whatever I do.

But seriously, even if you go to my arch rival in terms of universities, a college experience, no matter at what school, is well worth it.

I wonder if it's just in Ohio where in high school you bascilly have a "Kent State Day". Almost every year there's one and someone who was there comes in and talks about it. In 10th grade my algebra teacher talked about her experience there. Her roommate was one of the students who was killed. It was such a horrible thing that happened, but I always wondered outside of Ohio, do people talk about it?
