u know exactly what i meant, but u had to change it according to your homosexual thoughts

How the hell did you end up getting accepted to the same school I did.

Is that weighted or normal? Or does it not matter because the GPA is a silly system?

Um... that's... unpleasant to know.

A thought occurs: Do you have the original hatchback one, the 2005 US sedan version based on the original hatchback one or the new European hatchback one based around the same platform as the Volvo S40 and Mazda 3?

Congrats on the new car.  Take care of it and it will take care of you.

As for the question of why new rather than used, when I got my new Explorer (last year) I got $2,000 "cash back" (yeah, I know, I know) plus the trade-in on my old car (a Toyota Camry), which brings us to about $7,000 off the list price, and to top it off I got 0% APR.  I couldn't come close to that kind of deal for quality v. quantity (of dollars) with any used vehicle at which I looked.

Let's just say I had a 3.9 GPA, was the founder of the Computer Club, and I almost forget slept with a few people to get to the top.

I have to ask why a person with a 3.9 GPA doesn't know that the plural of Badger is Badgers and not Badger's.  Perhaps the thing that dinged your 4.0 was English?



EDIT:  Maybe it's not plural...  Maybe it's an unfinished possessive sentence?  Go Badger's what?  Badger's tail?  Badger's sex drive?  Badger's..?

I guess "college budget" must mean different things to different people.  To me, college budget meant taking the bus or walking, or finally spending about $2,000 my senior year so that I could drive to my place of employment in the winter.  There was no way I would have wanted to pay for tuition, supplies, room and board, plus have a car payment, insurance, parking, gas, and repairs to think about.

The U.S.A. sedan doesn't seem to be very similar style-wise to the hatchback (Rev 1 or II:Europe). Just like all the other Ford sedans, but the smallest.

Hmmmm...two days after registering you start calling people homosexual and you're bragging about spending "poor starving college student" money on the most recalled vehicle in history. I hope your car proves serviceable.  They are fun to drive, but some of the stuff they have had go wrong with them is downright scary.  I read their quality has improved for '05 but taking something bad and making it better just turns it to "so-so".  I've never seen a car make that much of a turnaround in a model year, so congrats on the purchase and good luck!

If you had a 3.9, what are you doing at a state school? I know people with lower gpas going to princeton, harvard, yale....

the college you choise is a personal choice thing. its not always about "this school is 'better' than the other or wow look private school. smurf that

yes, but why work your ass off in high school, to go to a school that isn't as selective?

To be perfectly honest, I think one compelling reason would be not to burn out in college, especially if you want to go to grad school.

Yeah.  I'd also point out that in California, at least, a 3.9 doesn't guarantee you admission to a selective school.  I had a 3.8 and was rejected from UCLA and UC Berkeley.

Mmmmmm new car smell. Don't forget to get some fuzzy dice.

Yeah, we should go to MiniThink and have a fight about homophobes, homosexuals, and the ever increasing debt load of the average American.  We can call each other names over the internet which will allow us instant gratification in our "must have it now" society.  It'll be fun.  We could even give out prizes.
