My brother...the intellect

[RoniMan]

So my brother comes online and msgs me "Bro, you gotta help me"

(always a good sign isn't it?)

turns out he's probably gonna fail a class.

"What class do you think you failed?"

no response

so i tried different approach

"What class are you sure you'll pass?"

his response (typed letter for letter):

"engish"

:disa: :facepalm:

[ray]

Is this why you were asking me if i knew any tutors?

[RoniMan]

that was for a different reason....

this happened AFTER i asked you

[brainsmile]

it's the asian pronunciation that's all

[Merlin]

Maybe it is just a typo and you're over reacting.

[kei2]

That aside, passing only one class isn't really a good thing. Typically students take more than two classes.

I resent that comment. :dead:

[RoniMan]

clarification: i only posted this b/c i thought it was funny. not that i was freaking out...(my mother, on the other hand)

he passed 3 classes, but he failed 3 as well....sigh

edit: he's in HS

[brainsmile]

wow... failed 3 classes? is this college?

[bachviet]

Sounds like HS to me.

[kei2]

no way he's taking 6 at a time in college. must be hs (or jr high).

[cheapie]

i took 18 credits one time.

Did that for several semesters while I was in school. I believe Slaus experienced it last semester.

[brainsmile]

you can take 6 classes if 3 are PE classes. Bowling. Archery. Golf

[Merlin]

A lot of folks take 6 classes at a time in college.

[speedracer120]

Took 18 credits at once and thought about killing myself. No time to not worry about a class. Paper one week, exams the next, paper next week, exams again. :eye:

[Showtime]

Sad thing is his Asian pronounciation was wrong too, it's engrish.

That's the norm. People in southern cal are just like that. Academically challenged.

[hapoo]

I'm kinda backwards in this department. The one time i took 22 units i ended up doing VERY VERY well cause i was forced to keep up. But everytime i take ~12 units i screw up cause i end up slacking off too much.

:stupid: i dont take THAT many though, but when i have a pretty full schedule, i do better. one quarter i only had 2 classes, and got c's in both classes. heh

:stupid: Took 22, 26, 24 units in a year once and my GPA actually went up a little.

I try to take 6 classes every semester because I'm an idiot however I do better when I do take 6 classes.
