I think I'm going blind from all these textbooks.

yeah, my page count is 14k this semester, not including add on cd's, videos, and the excersizes and workbooksi tell ya, if i was a horse theyd have shot me, i do have a 4.3 tho *dance dance*

[squids]

I'm only at a 4.0. You go ahead on and whip my azz, I'm all good with it.

[milfus]

well its truncated to a 4.0, but i can technically get a b and graduate with a 4.0so its effectively still a 4.3

[squids]

Go for the b and spend more time writing music! They don't put your final grade on your diploma.

[milfus]

ah but id KNOW, that kind of stuff haunts me at night

[tedsingingfox]

OK, now maybe one of you can explain to me how it's POSSIBLE to have an GPA higher than a 4.0...What?...now they give out a point for an F? This just sounds like ANOTHER attempt at telling our children that they are actually learning more than they are. One more attempt to fool ourselves into believing that our educational system still has the ability to compete on the world stage. I do NOT get that at all.1 point for a D2 points for a C3 points for a Band 4 points for an APERIOD!(I'm asking this 'cause I had a 4.0 when I was in college, and had to get special permission to take as many hours per semester as I did... and there was NOTHING higher than a 4.0.)Damn these young whippersnappers!!!

[milfus]

ah, I "exceeded maximum believed potential" or some such, the way they broke it down, is that I have a grasp on the material that overshoots what they figured possible for me and reflect that by giving some leeway on other subjects because i show signs of allready being specialized, i dunno, when they went over it, i had just bought some fun-yuns, and those things are freaking delicious, so my attention was pretty divided

[squids]

Well, I don't know about college but in high school if you're taking advanced courses (college level), you get higher than a 4.0.In college? Well, at my university, all you can get is a 4.0 and they won't give permission take more than 18 credit hours per.
