*on the subject of GPA*

Ok so I work part-time in the admissions dept. at my school and it's my job to enter all the info about prospective students/applicants into the computer. So I have to put in all the GPA's, ACT/SAT scores, etc. I got a High School transcript today for a kid that has a 235.5 GPA and there was no explanation of what scale this thing operates on.

*searches for the LOLWTF smilie*

Maybe it is on the 4.0 scale but he is Japanese..

PMP... did you make a facebook?

pffft, myspace is bad enough...

 

[Eternal Dragon]

i didn't even know we had them......

Yeh its....

7 - high distinction
6 - distinction
5 - credit
4 - pass
less than 4 - dumbass

Mine is about 5.3, which is pretty good for an engineering degree. If it was something like business or arts then it would be crap I guess.

We use 5.0-scale in universities / vocational schools. In elementary school / highschool the scale is from 4 to 10.

When I was in highschool I used to get mostly 4's and 5's. The funny thing is that I still get grades like those, but the scale's changed for better. My GPA is now approx. 4.4 on a 5.0-scale.

And btw, I weighed myself today and noticed I've lost 6-7 kilograms (~15 lbs?) of bodyweight since Christmas. I guess it's time to get an overdose with Spam.

Okay, I know there isn't any main story continuitiy among the songs in Paradise Lost, but I had a weird feeling after watching the StWoF music video again.

The way the girl angel looks at Allen, Allen seems overwhelmed, drawn to it.

I don't know what the director had in mind when deciding on the end, but the angel comes off as a, dare I say it? A whore. Hm, maybe she lives in a nice heavenly suburb called BABYLON?

What song is next after StWoF? Ditto.

ok i'm glad to have you folks. you are the greatest. i have been posting on the nevermore forum.. and they are not very nice.. some are cool. but most of the gays.... i mean guys, are really territorial, and just plain dicks. the girls are mostly nice though. and a few nice guys. but it really makes me realize how great this forum is. you guys are the BEST!

 

[DoomsdayZach]

no, YOU'RE the best for having a bender quote in your sig.

 

[proulxski]

haha, bender woot \m/

 

[darkblade]

hahaha , yeah bender is pretty much the best. and if you don't agree you can kiss my shiny metal..... i mean pale fleshy ass.

i was gonna make it "wim wam wimmy wazzle" from slums mckenzie, but i figured less people would get it.

 

[noble savage]

Speaking of Futurama, did any of you guys see the movie yet? Is it any good?

 

[Horus]

Not yet, but today, I finally got Volume 4.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

I've heard it's great. It's next on my Netflix and if it's good then i'll buy it. but yeah, supposed to have the same humor as the show, just like it never went away.

 

[noble savage]

Ok, I'll probably end up buying it. I really wish that show was still on the air. It is definitely funnier than The Simpson's. Recent Simpson's anyway.

Oh, I finally got around to watching the Simpson's movie and I didn't really find it that funny. It wasn't bad or anything but it many spots it just dragged on to no avail.

 

[Horus]

It's on Comedy Central now man. Weeknights right after the Colbert Report.

 

[noble savage]

Yeah, I know. It's on Cartoon Network as well. Not to mention, I own all of the DVDs of it. I meant they should still make new episodes of it.

 

[Meedleyx10]

not on cartoon network anymore
