So you did standard grade English then? Remember Wilf the Dog? That was silly how it started trending on twitter.

Jakarius321 · Post by **Jakarius321** » Sat May 12, 2012 7:07 pm

No, Scottish Standard Grade. I'm going to assume that AP is a higher qualification.

AP stands for Advanced Placement, so yes.

Ah ok, the only Int I'm doing is Int 2 Graph Com, I wanted to take it Higher next year but the columns didn't work out so I'm doing Chemistry for one more year than I'd planned but I'm hoping to pick up Graph Com again in 6th year if my brain hasn't leaked from my eyeballs by then.

@Gideon Some Googling has informed me that Advanced Placements are "generally recognized to be equivalent to undergraduate courses in college" and are a lot higher up than what I'm doing.

Probably. AP is only for eleventh and twelfth grades, and Pre-AP is ninth and tenth. But if you're reasonably intelligent, you can usually get into and do well in AP courses.

So.

Going to go see Dark Shadows at a movie theatre.

Avengers on Monday.
Also, those on the Skype thing briefly heard a 3 year old talk into the mic.
Afore mentioned 3 year old danced for hours to "criminal" by One, Britney spears.

Please get it out of my head.

This is depressing. I'm working on an assignment that should've really been finished a week ago, which needs to be handed in on Monday, and I just realised that there's a VERY good chance that I'm not understanding the questions correctly. But I left it so late that I can't ask anyone if I'm understanding it correctly... Which wouldn't usually bother me all that much, except now I work with the people who mark my assignments, and it can get a little bit awkward.

Wow...I just found the greatest idea for a TV show ever conceived:

Well, I don't seem to be doing badly in my chess tournament.

Chess huh? I'm kinda good at chess, but I'm far from the best. It's hard to develop strategies when the only person you play it with (and rarely at that) is with my twin brother.

I can only beat the computer at lvl 4, sometimes at lvl 5 but it's rare :/

It's easy. Your targets in order are Queen and knights sometimes bishops or castles/rooks. Myself I always make sure my king has an exit and my queen is protected by a pawn at least or she doesn't go down without the enemies queen. I once got checkmate with 2 pawns and a king
btw what happend to the elder scrolls online sticky thing, the game butchering thing?

You can still see the thread if you go to the announcements forum, but since we can't post to that forum directly, and it doesn't show up in other forums, we can't actually post to the thread anymore. I think. I tried messing with the url to put in a different forum code (like http://forums.uesp.net/viewtopic.php?f= ... &start=375 ) but it still won't let me post there.

Interesting. Thanks.

I woke up dizzy today. On the one hand, it's kind of a nifty feeling. On the other, I really don't want to fall over.

Avron the S'wit · Post by **Avron the S'wit** » Sun May 13, 2012 11:26 am

Feel better soon, Taters!

Also, greetings to all from upstate New York! There is nothing here but rolling hills and beautiful fatms... Makes me dislike this city livin'.

Taters · Post by **Taters** » Sun May 13, 2012 12:02 pm

I can't speak to rolling hills, but there's certainly something about living in the country.

And so you should.

Botswana is calling me...The capital city Gaborone is still incredibly primitive and undeveloped, and yet by-and-large they're very happy. One of the lowest overall hunger rates in the world, and yet the average salary is a third of that in the US.

Avron the S'wit · Post by **Avron the S'wit** » Sun May 13, 2012 1:18 pm

Both the city and the country have their merits. I would never be for want in either, but I'd always want to be in touch with the world I don't quite live in. I've lived in city and quiet farming towns, and I like both equally, but no matter where I am I always crave the other. Never happy.

It is funny how my phone works way up here in the Catskills, though. (Is that how you spell it? Oh, well.)

A house with Wi-fi and a piano is all I need.
