So I'm back at home for the next three weeks or so -- just got back from seven weeks of awesomeness, working in a genetics lab and living on my own salary. What's going on with everyone?

WELL LOOK WHO IT IS!

Things you've missed:
-Runescape has officially keeled over and died. Don't log in unless you want to watch a 30-second advertisement first.
-We started a clan minecraft server.
-Some of us are playing/anticipating the f2p release of 06scape, a RSPS that is planned to be a total remake of Runescape as it was in mid 2006.

Things that are still the same:
-I'm Still sexy.
-The header hasn't changed.
-Damn I'm sexy.

Questions:
-What's that salary like?
-How was year 1 at Harvard?
-Any decisions on your major yet?

--All I had to see was the homepage to be convinced that it died. Died in the worst, worst way possible.
--I think I was around when you guys were first starting the Minecraft server?
--Hmm. Suspicious. Could be worth it, though. I never trusted private servers...

--Yup, the header's still there.
--Yup, you're still an idiot.

--Haha, it was more for experience than anything. Apart from working there, I also had like three other jobs (including a pretty nice teaching one for $25/hr)... Anyways, it was enough for me to pay for my rent, food, credit car bills, etc. I was legit living on my own, which was AWESOME.
--Year One was incredible. Year One Summer was even more incredible. Super excited about Year Two, especially after getting sorted into Houses.
--Yeah, definitely. Evolutionary biology for me!

--How's high school?
--I got stuck in your stupid Atlanta airport for FIVE HOURS. It was AWFUL.

High school is great, actually. I'm currently procrastinating like a boss. Tomorrow I begin my Junior year. Summer's been insane. I'm taking AP Environmental Science, APUSH, and AP Lang this year.

Naturally, I have summer assignments for all of these classes.

I haven't really done too much of the summer stuff yet.

I'm fucked.

And yeah, apparently that airport stuckiness thing happens a lot. I went to Costa Rica with my friends earlier this summer; didn't get stuck.

Evolutionary biology, eh? What kind of a career does that lead to? I'm actually kinda getting close to needing to send out college applications, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about as many majors as possible.

Haha, weird, because the $25/hr job I had was teaching APUSH, AP Environmental Science, and AP English Lit! I've taken AP English Lang, too, so if you ever need any advice on those... Psh, summer assignments aren't really that important in the whole scheme of things. You'll be fine.

Awesome, Costa Rica! How long were you there for? I bet the beaches were awesome. I went to one of those little New England beaches with my friends a few weeks ago, and realized how much better the Gulf of Mexico is.

Once you get closer to college, you'll learn that there's not always a direct "this major means this career" correlation. For example, you CAN go to medical school as an English major, just as long as you take the required pre-med courses. But yeah, evolutionary biology could lead to medical school, or it could lead to research positions, etc. Who knows?

And you're not THAT close to sending out college applications. Those happen in fall of senior year. You should probably be thinking about standardized test prep at this stage, especially with the PSAT. The earliest you should really be taking the ACT or SAT will be second semester junior year, so you have some time.

Welcome back, Swaller!

My RS account got hacked in the middle of my RS phase, so I just quit altogether. I didn't even care to recover the crap.

I went to an Atlanta iHop, worst service ever.

Josh, your anime obsession seems to be getting a -little- out of hand...

Eh, it was probably for the better. RS has all gone to hell anyways.

I went to an IHOP for the first time last semester and I'm not really sure why people are so crazy about it.

'Kay. Just to clarify: IHOP is the shit.

Last year I scored what is the equivalent of an 1850 on the PSAT. We took it on a Friday morning and I remember just flipping through it and picking the best looking answer. We didn't have a writing section. I finished every section with like 10 minutes left. It's funny, though, because the results said I scored at least 95% higher than college-bound Juniors that took the real SAT.

Of course, I'm good at writing. I can't imagine the writing section of the REAL SAT will be too difficult.

I also got a 4 on my WHAP test. Not bad, I guess. I don't really study.

Not sure how you got an 1850 when two sections are only out of 1600...but 95% isn't too bad. You'll need to get 99% to qualify for National Merit, though. And yeah, the writing portion is barely important compared to reading and math.

You mean...APWH? Also not bad. I don't understand the people who run away in tears from that exam with 1's and 2's...

Being a freshmen again, meh, looking forward to being able to make my own decisions though.

Agreed.

Yeah, are you planning to work part-time, too? Definitely helps to have more disposable income.

I remember helping you with trig, just not sure how you're using OP, because that just reads as "original poster" in my mind...

That blue-haired kid. Speaking of, I also watched the videos Josh posted of his RPG. They're pretty funny, although Josh was enough of a genius to misspell my name.

Trig OP, going back to Runescape language of "Over-Powered".

He quit on that RPG already. One wee lil bug and he quits, typical Josh. Very Happy

Any ideas what? College campuses are an awesome place to get jobs, just because there's so much variety and you're not automatically relegated to a minimum wage job flipping burgers...just a minimum wage job doing something else. But the something else can be fun, like if it relates to what you want to do later on.

Yeah, no.

Mmm, typical Josh. I -did- think it was weird how he had a "fiancee" though.

I'm not sure yet, an on-campus job would be convenient, but I kind of want to maybe find something small involving computers early. Maybe part-time at best buy.

You know it's true :3

Yeah, little did we know the story was about to take a wicked turn, She wasn't imaginary as everyone expected but was in fact a man.

Oh, so you want to join the Geek Squad? There are probably opportunities to do stuff with computers on-campus, too, depending on what kind of stuff you're interested in... Maybe research...? Research is win.

How far did the story even go? I only watched the first episode.

I'm more into computer repair, so Geek Squad might be right up my alley lulz.

Meh not very far, like I said the bug stopped all production, he essentially threw the project in the garbage as far as I know.

Hey Swallow, nice to see you've been accomplishing much in life. Smile

I spent a week canoeing in Minnesota with a few illegal entries to Canada.

I bought the logs for 99 firemaking, but Jagex had really killed the game recently so idk if I'm going to keep up.

I've also became a fan of Tom Clancy's books, sparking an interest in CIA work in the future.

Illegal entry to Canada is always cool, sounds like you had fun!

Meh, 99 fm.

Tom Clancy, interesting. I'm not familiar with his work, but I think I've read similar stuff from David Baldacci. Last thing I read was Oryx and Crake, which was a highly convincing dystopian novel.

Swallow! Great to hear from you!
I just got back from a two and a half week vacation; I spent ten days in North Myrtle Beach and a week in Williamsburg. It was great, but it's nice being home.
I have spent way too much time playing Skyrim and way too much money buying games on Steam.
I got a 2090 on the SAT and a 33 on the ACT. I have been considering going to MIT, but recently decided against it. Going into my senior year of H.S. right now, so I'll apply to my college of choice and my backup soon.
My class load this year will be AP Calc BC, Biochemistry, AP Computer science, and a Cisco Networking course...This is going to be a fun year.

Hi, Swallow. Very Happy Don't really need any news from me..

-Zach, definitely get a job at Best Buy. I hear they're going out of business.

-I'm going into my freshman year in highschool so.. not much to share about that.

-Got elected class president. I should actually change my avatar to my campaign poster, if you guys wanna see.

-I kinda like IHOP. It's okay. I love their hash browns.

Kaiiii. Come to the real world, it's more fun. Pretty good stats for your junior year, do a little more work on them and you'll have nothing to worry about on the scores end. Why'd you decide against MIT? It would be so strange if you ended up going there, because then we'd DEFINITELY have to meet up. I would apply to more than two colleges, too, especially during these couple of years. Haha, BC Calc will be easy, although I can't speak to the others...
