He says he got hit in school :laugh:
Theres a competition between me and my bro....he gets A's, and well...I used to lag off. I was very different from what I am now, and I didn't use to care about studying and what not. I've made chances and now want to lead a life involving business!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Also, I study alone now...no comp. music, tv, or whatever. Silence is the best way to get something into your head. Along with that I've started to read the chapters they provide, instead of just skimming through the text looking for the answers. :p Most of the tests teachers NOW give out involve something that you DIDN'T answer.
I learned my lesson! Plus it feels better when you shut someone up with your intelligence. :cool:

Sounds like me and my brother Godsend. Well one of them atleast... He always gets A's and I always have to try to fill his shoes. It really sucks. As for my latest achievment: I managed to build up the guts to ask a girl at school out, I was afraid of denial but she said yes so I'm on Cloud 9 right now.

Well ya know what? it still is the same situation except maybe your brother is younger, a small set back but thats ok.
You know, being the one getting all the A's isn't as great as you think. Sure the other siblings get it tough trying to live up to the one with the A's. But the one with the A's have to struggle to keep the A's. One slip up and everyone thinks you have destroyed your life. My father thought I was a drug addict when my grades started slipping. He even took me to councelling cuz he thought I had a drug problem. That wasn't the case at all. He never trusted me after that, even when my grades went back up. Maybe he thought I was sleeping with the teacher or something. Anyway, when you think how hard it is to get those A's...remember how hard it is to keep them...
Oh yeah, my greatest achievement for today is...I slept for pretty well the whole day, getting up a few times to come on here and eat chips.

Good job Gummo. I have tried that a few times but it never works. I love sleep, I love some chips, and I like MoFo as you call it but it is so hard

Ditto....same here. He thinks my friends are idiots, well who cares? He doesn't know jack and communicting with him on a relationship kind of pattern is hard. Same with everyone else, I can only communicate with like a hand full of people.
Hell, more like pinch.
Anyways, my bro gets the better grades cause I usually help him out. Project wise and studying as well. I was the first to encounter American schooling in my family, so I pass it down to him. Meh *shrug* I went through the drastic stuff and I've been coaching him. He has it better...to a degree.

my latest achievment was working up the courage not to beat the ***** ou of some one, and yes i just bumbed this thread.
I learned how to play that song from 'the pianist' on piano, it took ages though, it's called chopin's prelude in E Minor. Sounds so proffesional - it makes me sound pretty good, my friends think I'm some hotshot piano player now :rotfl: what they don't know is that it took me like 3 months to get it good. Anyways that's my recent achievement

What a great thread! I love hearing so many people say they're doing good stuff.
I recently updated my website (link in my profile). I still want to tweak a few things, but I've been wanting to update it for a long time and finally got a camera, learned how to use it, learned how to do stuff with my photo editing program and got the whole ball o' wax relaunched. yay!

I am taking part in a writing challenge called "Different Tracks: a Brother and Sister's Project" with my little sister Nikki. This all came about because of a dream I had of two people riding on a train, a 20 something man and a 13 year old girl. So we each took the same 2 characters, the same setting, and the same 3 day train ride, and we each are writing our own version of the events. Her story is called "Don't Ask" and mine's called "Hold On." Anyone with a live journal account can read the 2 stories, under the user names "mystoryjournal" (me) and "talesfromatrain" (Nikki). It is far too much fun, and it has snapped me out of my rut as of late.
I applied for a job at a huge business chain in Australia called Coles-Myer which according to my parents will end my lazy spree of hanging with friends and doing absolutely nothing all the time.
So what if now that I've finished school I have 15 weeks of holidays, that doesn't mean I can't waste it all doing nothing, does it?..........well applying was an achievement for me because I need the money and something to do with all my free time I suppose.....I hate it when parents are right :D

I managed to get a senior to fall in love with me (We're both in college, I'm a freshman). Except, I have no feelings for her.
And, she looks like brittany spears, I kid you not.

I hope she isn't like her in other ways. ;)
Early this year I set a per-month profit goal for my websites that I hoped to achieve before I turned 20. Heading into the last month before my birthday, it looked like I was going to fall a bit short, but one of my sites had a tremendous surge and I made far more than my stated goal. Amazingly, I've managed to meet that same goal (though sometimes barely) every month since; November will make five, if I manage to squeak it out in these last couple days.

I know I've been shouting this quite frequently, but I've been doing quite well in my classes of late. It takes me a long time to transition and adapt to different teachers, but I overcame the first hill in my disability, which has made the rest of the mountainous year a bit more easy to set about conquering.
I wasn't really surprised that I recieved a hundred percent on my english test today, I had answered some extra credit question at the end which boosted my score. What made me proud was the fact that I got a hundred percent on the written part as
well--something I haven't done in quite a while. The last time I had gotten full credit on a written deep-thinking piece was in September. My writing isn't perfect, but for a long time I struggled with putting focus into my non-fiction pieces. Now I am a bit more confidant in my non-fiction writing, if I can only do the same thing for my fictional pieces.
While we're talking about papers...
The first paper I wrote this year was for my Film class and it was about the acting in Oldboy and how it impacted the theme of the movie. I put it off til the very last possible moment, it was printing as I was getting dressed for class, and I got a grade that reflected it (C-). Not to mention I'm also a complete novice when it comes to acting styles and I really don't have much place commenting on the acting in a Korean movie. I was pissed at the time, not because of the grade (though I rarely get a grade that low on a paper) but because the teacher wrote a comment at the end that he fears I am not understanding the course material.
So the time to write the second paper came around and I had to chose two movies and discuss how the directors manipulated various styles to express a theme. My professor does not respect horror movies. It's almost as if he gets disgusted when they're mentioned in class, he barely acknowledges it as a genre and even the textbook doesn't take a sentence to even broach it (while it has broad chapters on slapstick comedies). So I decided to write my paper on Horror, just because. I wrote about how the varying styles of John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness and Eli Roth's Cabin Fever both express the theme that man goes insane because of the enviroment around them, not because of the environment inside of them. I got an A (actually much to my surprise, given the expressed disinterest and disdain for horror films) and felt vindicated.
Another happy paper achievement, though not recent. Senior year of highschool I had a rather rough English teacher notrious for never giving As to students. Anyways, the first day of class we had to write an in-class paper on Beowolf. Essays are easy for me and I always try to have some fun with them. So I started writing the paper and actually managed to tie in and quote The Boondock Saints. I did it just to get a kick out of it myself. Anyways, I got a B+ on the paper, but what makes it awesome is that there were two IB English classes. The class after I wrote my paper the other English teacher was showcasing to her class "an old paper written two years ago by a brilliant student" as an example of how to write a "flawless" paper. Well, the teacher was a liar, because it was my paper that I had just written. I had mentioned to a friend in that class about my Boondock Saints comparisons, which I was rather proud of, and he reported back to me that the teacher was teaching my paper to her class and was trying to pass it off as some ancient paper. Owned.
I have managed to run my Computer buisness for 2004 without owing anyone any money at all...no credit card debts, loans, overhead , etc... nada I do not owe anyone anything. Those of you who have ever owned their own buiseness know this is not easy to do..... I am only in my 2nd year so I feel a bit happy about this. Other than that I am a loser ;) . Oh wait....I managed to do something even more amazing; I got my 14 year old daughter to stop asking me for a piercing in a strange place. Hmmm I wonder why she stopped asking?:rolleyes:
A shock achievement: yesterday a client that I hadn't seen for over 5 years came to see me: she said she had some small issues she wanted to talk out with me: firstly she said some really good things have happened to her since she last saw me, she gave me a 2 year old university year book, asked me to turn to page 24 and look at the bottom of the page, there was her name graduating with honors in Social science, she also told me this year she is finishing a teaching degree.
The real cruncher came when she told this has all been possible due to me, she will always be grateful for me never giving up on her when others did, when i first met her, she was under weight, smoked both cigarettes and dope, drank copious amts of alcohol and laid in bed all day while her children got themselves off to school etc, she is now a wonderful, articulate, beautiful sober woman.

come on, Spooky!! go go... you're so near 200 yrself!! :up: :)
