I took a bunch of exams which were the equivalent to the British 'O' levels (except English, were I took the real 'O' level, I'm not sure why... ), and I later took the SAT before coming to the U.S..

I know none of this matters now, but I'm sorry to say that the SAT was a joke compared to the exams I had to take (which were, in turn, a joke compared to the real O-levels).

Of course, in the end, high school exams don't really matter much.

 

hmm yeah i did the SATS too since i was moving to the states.. and even though IB was geared for european and canadian schools.. it helped me out cuz i got like 20 college credits then i divided up the last semester of college between summer (three classes) and winter (2 classes) and graduated college in three years.. so i can't complain about IB.. it did me good

 

I agree that comparatively the SATs were a joke. My friends at the British School of the Hague the O levels and such and made me keenly aware of the fact. I was thankfull I didn't have to take them.

 

i love that i have 42 minutes left for work

 

I love that the one weekend I stay in this shit hole city, all my friends leave... so my options are go to the casino or sit at home and drink...

 

stay home and drink.. that way you know exactly how much money you're gonna be in the hole due to alcohol. if you go to the casino you will get plastered and lose track of how much money you are in the hole.. i vote for stay home. but watch out for those damned walking fireplaces

 

:wicky:

 

I love my job - 13% raise this year! Woot!

 

Wow, congratulations, Jill.

 

i love that your car is getting fixed?
