You're right. I had so many Fs (in college) and I always saw 'em coming. Did you disrespect your teacher, GeneralBeaner? Or did you puke on her shoes the last time you had an F (if you ever had except for this new one...but then again, would you be puking if you had it before?)?

Sorry for being late on this thread.

I kind of had this type of "F" problem back when I was in high school, only a different kind of "F". I was in section "A" in freshmen and I did a lousy job and at the end of the year I was estimating I'd end up in section "C" or "D" the next school year. The following school year, in the 1st day of class, I checked where my name is listed. I checked sections "C" and "D." I wasn't in there. I checked "B" and "A." Still I wasn't there. So I checked section "E." Nada. Then finally I found my name in section "F."

So I went home and told my parents about it. Then I said "At least I wasn't in section G or H!!!"

That was the day I realized that I wasn't the smartest peanut in the turd.

There's no need for SAT scores, it cuts your overall college costs drastically, and transfer students get into quality four year universities before high schoolers.

That's the route I went and I liked it. It was definitely cheaper and I had some pretty good instructors at the CC. The only issue is the level of fellow students can be pretty low at times, but it is still a great opportunity to get a lot of college done cheap.
