That's a bummer bro. Motivation is a tricky thing sometimes. Sucks about the placement test, at least you didn't do too good and get put in classes that are too hard for you. Shame we don't live down the street... I was a math tutor for years.I'm supposed to start monday. but i havn't had time or even been motivated enough to do it. I just like you feel like i am a notch above in the knowledge section. Lol, except for math i blew math on the placement test, as soon as i saw. 6x + 3x = y type stuff started trippin me out, so i just click, click , click. lol i need some real motivation. im starting to think schooling won't pay off in the long run, i have many people around me stuck payng loans, my girl owes about 50,000 and has to pay back 375 `a month n that sucks. And just recently fix my issues with federal financial aid and dont wanna dig a deeper hole. sh sucks.
Lol we call her bill a reminder of her late teens, 50,000 and never finished, blows.That's a bummer bro. Motivation is a tricky thing sometimes.

And I feel you on owing money for nada. I owe $25,000+ on a masters degree I didn't even finish... not that it would have done me any good if I got it. Now we pay $230 a month to remind me what a dumb twat I was in my early twenties.
Lmao I can relate so much...was taking AP classes in high school when I was 12...physics, macro and micro economics, and literature & comp...have had a college reading level since 10 years old! I feel significantly dumber now, and my 12 year old self would probably find the 'now' me to be an idiot . All that stuff is really only useful in school though...real life involves a different skill set...like calculating how to get the highest while saving the most weed, and how to avoid the cops . Seriously though, they don't teach us the things we really need to know...like how to have a healthy relationship with yourself and the people around you, how to raise kids, how to be a good partner, how to maintain finances, how to protect yourself from a heavy handed government, or how to be self-sustainable. So much for public education.I was taking calculus in 10th grade, but I quit going to school at all, and they just kept passing me. I dropped out and went and got a GED. I placed from the 82th to the 97th percentiles on all subjects. I cannot even remember more than basic algebra now though lol. I can still do things like 235 x 47 in my head though with a lot of concentration (some days I am smart and some days I am dumb as dirt). I have a severe memory problem now, and use to have an almost photographic memory. What happened lol?
My problem comes when letter join numbers, and numbers are no longer whole like i like em, lol. i finished HS two years early, from a private/alternative school. so it has been almost 10 years since i graduaTed and im only 25. i think im ready now tried college before but only class i went to was cafe. hopefully i remember enoughI was taking calculus in 10th grade, but I quit going to school at all, and they just kept passing me.

it depends on the type of private. Mine was an alternative military academy ran by the state. pretty much public but you had to be accepted(forced). I believe they are teaching all the wrong things though. Or there are plenty of people just taking up useless courses and majors, i wanna make sure i will get to use my degree if i get it.I'm not sure they teach you that stuff in private education either. In fact, I'd venture to say you learn that stuff better at public school where real life hits you in the face earlier. I know I learned where to deal with, and avoid, authority figures in public school. lol
I think the best part about school is being around a bunch of people trying to make themselves better. Whether or not anyone is actually accomplishing that is another story.
Dude I was the exact same. I got aA's on tests and did no homework and went 1 or 2 days a week lol. They passed me and even raised my courses based solely on my tests. I went to HIT Heald Institute of Technology a few yrs after my GED.I was that dumb smart guy that could sit in class,, do no homework and get an A on every test. Problem was since I never did homework I had average grades and never wanted to go to school or participate in anything unless it involved my skateboard, my car, RC planes or all combined. Energy up dropping out, getting a GED and hitting a trade school.
I think shorty term memory only, but I dont know for sure.Lol, does weed kill braincells? j/p
i was you. except i was kicked out. i can take a pic of a 2nd grade report card where it says i'm obviously ahead of the other kids, just never put forth the effort. When i found that i was like damn i been like this. in 9th grade in biology they used to call me 'narcolepsy' if wasn't sleep i wasn't there, but i passed. i tried trade school(auto mechanics) but the second year they dropped my major so i took up welding, and then stopped.I was that dumb smart guy that could sit in class,, do no homework and get an A on every test.
