Eek. For that thing i got a 99 on i got invited to do internationally.

Really? Are you pulling our legs? What subject was it?

I wonder, can one score such high grades in America on literary/arts subjects, as for an essay?

It was so frustrating in French high school already to have no chance to score higher than 16/20 (kind of an unwritten rule) when students of science could get 20/20.

In prep and college, it got worse. I was congratulated by my philosophy teacher when I scored a 10/20. We had 3 essays in class. I scored 9, then 10, then 11. She said it was quite an achievement. Those grading rules are stupid. They're meant to make you try to improve, but they just thwart you.

It completely depends on the professor.

 

[Philo]

And the school/university, school board, and state/province.

That's why we have SAT's and GRE's, etc. Well, I'm not sure there's an equivalent to the SAT in Canada. Hasu would know.

*Edit* Wait, is that the genre actresses thing? I've seen it. I'll vote when it's about men.

Talk to Auntie about that.

It was on a strategic management simulation. We 'manage' a shoe company and compete against other companies in the industry, aka 9 other classmates, in an attempt to meet an exceed our investors expectations. It's kind of fun in a sadistic way.

And no, I'm not pulling you leg

As for the SAT's I dont think there is an equivalent but we do have the option of taking them here if for whatever reason some bizarre school wanted it or we were going down to the states for school

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Quite fascinating.

 

[DarkHelmet]

Evenin' all.

 

[trekkiedane]

^Yeah, I'll go with that even if it's nearly 7 AM here; good evening!

 

[RoJoHen]

It's Friday night and I'm already in my pajamas. I feel so lame.

That's how we spell it here in the US. Pyjamas there, i think ...

So it's a vegetable like potato or tomato or what

Edit: Nevermind, looked it up! -It's what little muslim girls wear in India… Didn't know that about Salt.

 

[RoJoHen]

It's what you wear to bed.

 

[trekkiedane]

It's what you wear to bed.

I looked it up and edited while you posted ^that - but now I'm really confused.

 

[RoJoHen]

I do not understand what the problem is.

Pajamas. Sleepwear. The clothes that you wear when you go to bed.

Clothes you wear to bed??? -What a quaint concept! -Do you live in Alaska?

 

[RoJoHen]

No, but it has been in the single digit temperatures here in Illinois the last few days.

I hate sleeping naked.

 

[DarkHelmet]

Jule - some people feel more "cozy" in PJ's, despite the temperature.. I know my wife does.. although in summer, she'll sleep in PJ's only but rock the topless look.

I love summer.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

So do you sleep naked in the summer?

 

[trekkiedane]

I'd feel like being tied up if i wore anything while sleeping, is what Im saying; and I have had between 9º and 13º C in my bedroom the last coupel of weeks -cozynes is what I have a duvet for (for lack of a person under it with me alas)

ETA: if i'm babbeling it's because of the drink! -yeah that' smy story, had a few this night
