I played UO hours on end when I was in high school. You're right, you can't play an MMORPG while having buttloads of fun at the same time when in school. My grades sucked in 9th grade because Ultima Online, I felt, was more important. So I kept playing it that summer, and I realized what a dork I was -- waking up, playing, sleeping -- before the next year hit...and started getting bored and enjoying school. I still played it, but a LOT more casually than hardcore. If you play MMORPGs on a hardcore scale while in high school, you will find out that you just spent the biggest waste of your life listening to some crappy music nobody likes except you and your friends, playing MMOs, and believing everyone is against you. When I realized how fun school was, and made my teachers feel like I was ceral about work, they all helped me and I went to a beautiful college, and became incredibly pleased with my outcome |

Well I will show you my schedule school gets out at 2:30 So I get out at 2:30 go and do whatever until like 4:30 maybe 5:00 then go home. I then take a nap until around 6:30 when I wake up I turn on the television and watch basketball and do my homework until about 8:30 or 9:00 then maybe play a mmorpg from 9:00 to 11:00 if I am in the mood. So its not really a problem to me but I don't get straight A's or anything B's and C's do me. |

I wish. I thought the same until every school I applied to recalculated my GPA without the added AP weight, essentially rendering half of my reasoning for taking them null and void. Money-sink, anyone? ![]() |
