I got a C in my calc class because I never did the homework. I literally turned in probably around 8 assignments all year. Never studied. Did well for myself though.

How is Pre Calc?

Other than my absolute hate for polar graphing and anything involving sigma notation, not bad.

A's in everything.

Cool story bro

[Pandarsenic]

Eh. It's too much effort to get straight As. If I really wanted them, I could get them, but that requires. Y'know. Work. Which I'm averse to. :I

I get mostly straight As.
It is easy.

Ehh.

You're talking to someone who can understand almost any concept intuitively and can memorize almost anything he writes down.

I've never studied for a test, and I generally calculated how many assignments I can skip while maintaining my GPA. If the answer is "All the homework" or the average assignment takes less time than my attention span (About 15 minutes, spread between 3 hours of other things) I move on to "What projects can I skip" if there are any.

My definition of "Too much effort" is where most people define "Too little effort."

Are you sure you're not me?

WE ARE AS ONE

Various points:

Yeah, martial arts will (or at least should) be a heavy commitment; better to put it off a while until you're more settled into your crazy schedule, speaking of which 14 hours work/studying and 4 leisure means 6 sleep which is Not Cool.

Ah, I've experimented and found out that 6 hours sleep works pretty well for me, now that I've gotten out of needing 9-10 a night.

Other than my absolute hate for polar graphing and anything involving sigma notation, not bad.

I actually used to be an engineering student.  Engineers are ludicrously afraid of sigma notation, to the point of not being able to use it at all =/  I remember the final exam for my first engineering course gave an explicit formula we were supposed to compute, and most people had a lot of trouble with it.

Ehh.

... Wow, we're polar opposites.  4.23 GPA in high school and 14 AP tests (12 5's and 2 4's, for anyone who's counting).  I study for each and every test, feel terrible if I don't finish an assignment, and can often concentrate my attention on one problem for 10-12 hours.  On the other hand, I should have been called in for truancy given the amount of school I skipped.

Similarly to you, however, I also have an obscenely good memory that tends to drive other people crazy (since I can remember events that happened years ago as though they were yesterday).  I just study really hard to back up my memory and intuition.

[Pandarsenic]

Yeah, I got like a 3.17 or so GPA in high school (uncoincidentally, 3.0 is the minimum for University of California admission) and have a 2.74 presently in college. 6 AP tests; four 3s, a 4, and a 5, if I recall correctly. One of those 3s probably could've been at least a 4 if I hadn't had a crippling allergy attack that made me literally incapable of doing one of the essays. I also have a total inability to judge what a good SAT score is, because I was considering retaking after my first time taking it (no studying so I assumed my score would be relatively weak) and getting a 2170, only not to when I discovered that was actually a good score. So yeah, I dunno.

My God. IT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE!

Honestly, I understand WHY it's important, but I can't bring myself to do it. I WANT to. I SHOULD. But I can't. It's simply easier to walk through life than it is to run, even if you're given a prize if you make it to the end.

Psh. 2.something-something. 33 ACT (I missed one question on that dreaded Math section!) Too many AP tests, but enough of them to get a couple of classes for free.

Yes, but if you don't run, you don't have a prayer of flying.  After a certain point, "easy" stops entering into it.
