This means I’m doing it wrong.
I believe strongly that learning from my last experience can guide me to the correct path no matter how wrong the path is.
In high school I took six AP exams and passed five.
Physics – never brought my own calculator, copied the lab book of my lab partners, often didn’t do homework. I at least assume we had homework. Can’t say; didn’t do it.
5
Chemistry – Failed the class with something like 43%. Was given a C due to the teacher needing to give his son a passing grade. No Mr. Bond, I expect you to continue your teaching integrity.
4
English Literature and Composition – the administrator in charge of AP exam registration and what not was also the AP English Literature teacher. He pulled me out of a different class to tell me taking the test was a waste of money as his students had been preparing since the summer before, while I was on slow boating on basic English. After getting my score I had my girlfriend at the time (one of his students) flip him static.
3 or 4, can’t remember.
English Comprehension – The class want even offered. Also earned to not take it.
3 or 4
Calculus – as the first real class if the day for me this was caffeine imbibing time. Wong sheen a couple of Advil and… I totally can’t remember my caffeine pill of choice, washed down with Mountain Dew. Usually got to class 15 minutes late. Told I had to turn in two virtual assignments by the end of year in case the teacher needed a paper trail for my grade.
4 or 5 (pretty sure this was a 4)
Studio art – did all assignments, listened to the teacher instructions and critique.

This path had continued to plague me since. I even came up with a basic law.
Assumptions: people will usually do what they’re told, most people aren’t doing too hot themselves, and everyone gets roughly the same advice. Do the opposite of advice.
I should plan ahead. Therefore I think I’ll build something tonight.
