My parents had the same rule - games allowed only on weekends.

Wanna know how I snuck some gaming in?

Geez that sucks. I basically was able to do what I wanted as long as I got my shit done. Had I started slacking or bringing home bad grades then I could see them restricting my usage.

And man how calculators have changed. Get yourself a TI-Nspire and you can run Doom on there comfortably well!
I saw one of those for the first time at Staples the other day. My mind was blown.

I don't see the humor. It was a Math & Science magnet school that essentially was pre-college, rather than a traditional high school.
It's not funny. Just kinda odd. My friedn was going to one of those but for art.

The idea of "AP" classes makes me laugh. They don't mean squat when it comes to applying to colleges, and I knew kids who had a GPA of 2.0 who attended "AP" classes. AP is bullsnot.

At least where I went to school.
My school really pushes the few AP classes they have (there's English, and I believe one online course for math. We have more Dual Credit, of which I'm taking Dual Credit Biology this year.), and apparently we're pretty high on the list for getting people to pass the classes and the test, and our school is trying to keep it that way.

Although, our AP classes get less work than the normal classes. Harder work, but less of it.

:shock: DOOM? Really? On a calculator? I just can't picture that. Does it have color, or black and white?

:shock: Holy shit is right! Wow! I wouldn't learn a single thing in class if I had that. But it probably costs as much as a 3DS :lol:

For that much you should just put your binder on lap and play Dead Trigger on your phone behind it. :lol:
