i'm embarrassed to admit i never made it to algebra 2. it took me like 3 years to complete algebra 1
I think you can still feel better than Chris there, though. The fact that you took the class three times meant the teachers thought there was a chance you might learn it with another attempt. Chris' teachers knew there was no way he was ever going to learn the material, so he got "passing" grades just so they could be rid of him. It's not like he'd learn anything more sleeping through Algebra 2 than he would sleeping through Algerbra 1 a second time.
I noticed that when he did the D.C. voting one, he referred to the District of Columbia as simply "Columbia" and drew a picture of what looks strangely like an outline of the state of South Carolina. It makes me wonder if he thinks voting rights were granted to the city of Columbia, South Carolina, rather than Washington, D.C.!
I was wondering what the hell he was thinking there as well. I mean how could he not know about Washington, DC, when he lives only two hours from it? Your theory about Columbia, SC, might be correct, but that's almost three times farther going the other direction.
Holding onto old stuff isn't good. I ran into a paper I wrote when I was like 15, and it was super godawful angsty teenager crap. So, y'know, the world is evil and I have perfect solutions for everything and stuff like that. I was horribly embarrassed for myself. But then I shredded it. And I almost squealed with pleasure. Aha! Now it's gone! No one will ever read my retarded teenaged sperging again!
Meanwhile your 10th grade haircut will follow you in family photographs forever!
Of course the same thing goes for Chris, but in reverse. Chris
might be just as ashamed of his 10th grade haircut as everyone else, but everyone else looking at his haircut today would wonder why.
Yep. Definitely a "move him along" conveyor belt grade. I suspect a lot of the grades were padded a bit to make up for the ones where he didn't even bother to show up. Even with that I can't make everything add up to a D, so I suspect his teacher REALLY didn't want to deal with him a second year and fudged the weighting or something to be rid of him.
He said he voted for Obama in 2008, but I think that it may have been the only time he's voted.
It may well be he just thought Obama should win and told a few people and thinks that's the same as voting.
Most people are remembered by a couple of things and their legacies are forgotten about, Chris has far more exposure, documentation, and subjective analyses than anyone else in history I'd argue.
Maybe, but his audience is pretty small for all that. For all the documentation on Chris, more people will probably know who, say, Einstein is than will ever hear of Chris.
LONG STORY SHORT, Chris either got a fancy sash to make him feel special OR he actually made honor roll for less than average intelligence classes. Either way, he shouldn't be bragging nearly as much as he did.
Or?
