I only go to college because I got a full ride. Literally my parents said 0-tuition or you're staying at home and working.

Probably the best moment of my life to get the letter for the grant...

if you did fafsa in time you should be fine

or you should play poker

 

[DMoogle]

Yeah I finished the FAFSA in time. My parents are going to help pay as well, although I'm not sure how much they can. Worst comes to worst I can always take money out of my nest egg.

Thanks for the congrats, I can't wait to go.

 

[KoRoBeNiKi]

http://ratemyprofessors.com/ = best thing ever

what this person said. I look up all of my teachers before my classes

 

[hamburglar]

lol i'm 45 thousand dollars in debt that i have to start paying off 6 months after i graduate (may). basically, im ****ed. That is why i am moving to japan to dodge my payments until i get a decent paying job lol.

 

[MarioReincarnate]

Nice job A$... should I be mad you're moving???

 

[DMoogle]

Not if you make up for the missed opportunities by playing me a lot in the next few months before I leave.

 

[MattNF]

you failed to specify how many AP classes you took. For all I know, you took 2 or 3 and are basing your judgement on that. I'm talking about ALL your classes are AP. The material may not be troublesome but you'd definitely get bogged down with work.

AP art history anyone? that **** is notes notes notes notes notes notes and then more notes.



yeah, I am, wanna fight? My house is the one with the red truck



oh god, I can only imagine.

Trust me, AP classes in high school aren't the same as a normal college class. They're much easier.

 

[asianaussie]

What about high school classes that give credit for the first part of a uni/college course?

 

[ballin4life]

Trust me, AP classes in high school aren't the same as a normal college class. They're much easier.

I dunno I think that in some ways college would be easier because you don't get as much busy work and your grade is just from tests. Maybe some people would consider that a negative though. I wouldn't really know anyway since I didn't retake any of my AP classes in college (except music theory lol).

I do think that AP english helped me a lot with my college literature classes. The stuff that's been really hard though was all the classes that we didn't have in high school like higher level math.

 

[earthadept]

AP classes are trillions of times easier than their college counterpart here

I wish I knew about ratemyprofessors a long time ago. I ended up with this instructor: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=946762

 

[sharksquail]

Getting accepted is one thing... getting the $$$ is another

Yea I was accepted at Carnegie Mellon but at $50,000 a year **** that.

 

[dandan]

it is funny that in israel, the best and most prestigious universities, like the techion which was ranked the 7th best technology oriented university in the world after MIT, are all government funded, thus making the tuition really low.
i am studying in the university of tel aviv which is considered to be the best or second best here and it is costing me about 2400$ each year (not semester)

Just letting you guys know, I'm somewhat busy for most of this weekend, so I won't be doing any major mod stuffs until... well, probably next Monday or something. Also, I won't do any special mod things (e.g. infractions, closing threads, etc.) until after I read the mod manual thread thingy (or at least enough of it... it's really long... )

Just a heads up to everyone... basically just letting you know I'm not going to do nothing or anything like that... just busy...

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

so basically you're telling us to spam while you're gone?

hint: you're supposed to *not* post things like this or else people will take advantage of it lol

 

[Battlecow]

Yes. Smash 64 is now a mod-free zone, mother****ers.

edit: that was sarcasm. Just so you know.

 

[Isatis]

Yes. Smash 64 is now a mod-free zone, mother****ers.

edit: that was sarcasm. Just so you know.

Don't forget, I'm still visiting here frequently (and helping) until Blue Yoshi gets a hang of this, so don't think you get a free pass

 

[The Star King]

Oh noes, my weekend plans RUINED

 

[Blue Yoshi]

And that was a test to everyone

by busy... I simply meant that I won't have time to read every post in detail for a bit... but I will be on fairly frequently...

And thanks Bio

 

[earthadept]

WOW we have a mod now... wtf lawl

 

[Wenbobular]

I know right haha
Bloshi!
Bionic Sonic lives like ... within spitting distance of UMD where I'm at ...

 

[ballin4life]

Has smashboards been down like 90% of the last week for everyone else?

 

[DMoogle]

Yes.

10 boohoos.

 

[MarioReincarnate]

No... u guyz prolly has bad gatewayz

 

[DMoogle]

mo like bad *** gateways.

Man this word filter is wayyyyyyyyyy too strict.

 

[earthadept]

haha nice try

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Looking on the bright side, smashboards being down means there being less of a chance for me to need to show my "evil" side of being a mod

 

[earthadept]

lol n00b guide, pretty funny

btw, if you want to get a kirby uptilting picture or whatever, just play with the emu and press the screen capture button, then paste it into a drawing or picture program and cut it

 

[earthadept]

k, i'll def do that

alright so i finally got p2p working and everything, and i wanna start playing a bunch of ppl. anyone game?

also, does anyone have any advice on getting used to the slight delay on online play, when coming from playing console only for years? i have trouble z cancelling online, lol

 

[House]

You'll just get used to it after a while.

 

[Blue Yoshi]

Unlike melee and brawl, you can Z-cancel attacks by mashing the Z button (or R). Melee, you have to time it, brawl sucks (so... why am I going to a brawl tournament? Oh right, easy money lol jk )

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

mashing z is a bad option usually, develops bad habits most of the time.

 

[earthadept]

No I'm totally fine with all the technical aspects of 64 on the console version. I just get really messed up by the delay. Like I'm not even going to try and use fox online...

 

[Daedatheus]

Agreed, your combo potential, speed and control will open up a lot more if you're not worried about mashing a button. I did that originally but forced myself to unlearn that habit because although a crutch at first, later on it makes everything harder.

 

[DemonicInfluence]

It's only 1 frame =/

 

[earthadept]

I know! Maybe there's more to it than just the 1 frame lag? Maybe my computer is doing something wrong, or my input device has lag? I don't think just 1 frame would mess me up...

 

[MattNF]

It's probably in your head.
