Well, here are some really old ACCs and some new ones.
ACC: Was accepted into the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities.
ACC: Was awarded Kimberly-Clark's $20,000 scholarship.
ACC: Somehow managed to get a B in my English 381 class, even though I effectively did all the work the day of class each week and barely read anything.
DIS: Because the class was so advanced, I have very little desire to take other English classes. Analyzing Shakespeare would feel like a step backward after Foundations of Literary Criticism, a class normally taken by collegiate juniors and seniors.
DIS: Was just .04 GPA short of graduating Summa Cum Laude. Stupid arbitrary GPA cut-off; I had more advanced classes than any other kid in the school, but nooooooo. Ah, well, it does not matter, but still.
DIS: Got a B in my bloody Anthropology class because I started slacking hardcore.
ACC: Set the curve on the first Anthropology test, though.
ACC: Going to take a Science Fiction course while in college, which will be awesome.
ACC: Graduated high school.
ACC: Because of AP scores and college classes, I will be entering college with 70 credits.
DIS: I have no idea what I want my major to be.
ACC: I got a 4 on the Comparative Government and Politics AP test despite having never taken the class and only skimming through the textbook for an hour.
ACC/Minor DIS: I also got a 4 on the United States Government and Politics test despite actually taking the class. Minor because it is still a good score, but it is just sad that apparently I got nothing out of the class.
Minor DIS: I got a 3 on the Macroeconomics test even though I read the blasted Barron's book. I guess I am just awful at Macroeconomics. Minor DIS because I still got credit.
DIS: Last year, I got a 1 on my Statistics AP exam (did not study at all, took the class six months earlier). Was it not for that test, I would have been a National AP Scholar.
ACC: As far as AP scores are concerned, I got 4s on Calculus (little outside studying), Psychology (about an hour of outside studying), and United States History (no outside studying) last year, a 4 on European History (no outside studying) two years ago, and 5s on both English tests (no outside studying).
Minor DIS: Got a 3 on the AP Biology test two years ago even though I kind-of studied for that. Minor because I still got credit.
DIS: Got a 2 on Macroeconomics two years ago, although to be fair I did not study and was just awful in the class.
Minor DIS: I only tested out of two semesters of French, out of my required four. My friend tested out of three years of German despite taking fewer years of it and not having taken a German class in a couple of years.
DIS: Could not find a job, and I am having trouble finding a job for next year.
ACC: Dating a girl for the first time. It is going moderately well. She is a couple years below me (I am only ten months older, chill out), though, so it should be interesting to see what happens when I head off to college.
Does that cover everything? I think so.
