I'm getting my citizenship soon!

You don't know how jealous I am of you. Honestly. But one day, I shall be there. I'll swim there if I have to!

If not Spain or Canada for me, then it'll be New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore.

Damn, Krishnamutri is wicked awesome

But...Australia is much better!

I disagree. I much prefer New Zealand over Australia, though it is a nice country.

NZ rules!

Write a killer letter to the dean of admissions, buff up your community service hours, and retake the SAT.
Personally, I'm not worried. Either I'll get into my dream school or I'll get into one almost as good.

Did you see my comment on the writing portion? OK, on the ACT I got a 29, but on the SAT, 520. Killer letter is not my forte by far. Never filed any community service hours, they only apply for in state colleges, or at least so I'm told. Parents aren't paying for me to retake any tests. Having to pay for the ACT pissed them off enough.

So... do your parents actually want you to get any education at all? My mother would work 8 days a week to pay for me to take a test.

Community service hours aren't some specific tally. It's about showing dedication, not about hitting a mark. It also provides you with experience if you volunteer for something related to your intended major(education majors volunteering as tutors is a big one.) It's not about requirements or applicability, as much as it is about showing your interest in something and your willingness to go above what's required of you on your own initiative.

What you need is some good old Propaganda

Hey Het!

Hiya CC. For a little bit I thought you missed/ignored my comment... like most everyone else in this thread...

But you didn't!
So how are you?

I didn't miss it.

I've been doing better, but I'm just sick of my family and everything right now.

[Astrolinium]

Not fluently, though I likely wouldn't be totally helpless were I to be transported into ancient Rome.

Ah, I see. I am assuming you have learnt Classical Latin, then? I know older priests who can speak Latin as if it were their first language. I, unfortunately have not a knowledge of the language like that. Only 4 years of Latin Classes, though I use it on a week to week basis.

Yes, classical. I've taken three years of Latin, though I do a lot of practice on my own.
Pardon me if this is offensive to you, but the work that the Vatican does for the preservation and promotion of Latin is probably the only reason I don't want to see the Vatican City absorbed into Italy and all the Catholic Church made a thing of the past.

I'm afraid this is all I can think about when I think "Australia"

Ah. That's no good. I'm sorry you feel that way.

i can see him saying

"darn you all to purgatory" though.

I might say that too.

I'm a Euphemist. We believe in Gosh and his son Jeepers Creepers. And if you don't believe in Jeepers, you'll be darned to Heck!

Yeah, but they don't want to pay for it. Depending on the method used, they'll fall at least $8K short of their expected financing. They'll give me $12K a year. Colleges are expecting them to give $18-30K a year. I'm not elligible for the nice need based loans that would add $11K a year. Damn frugal rich parents
Would having an Xray taken count for a radiology majour?

I don't understand why people want Italy to anex the Vatican, it's been a free country for 1700 years.

I'll admit, I love that ad, but this appeals to me more.

Well, if the Catholic Church ceased to exist as an entity, there wouldn't be much point in having a Vatican.
My greatest hope for the future is that mankind will mature beyond the need for religion and all faiths will be considered as little more than the mythology of our ancestors.
