The Colorado School of Mines (part two)

Well, I am no longer sick and I turn 19 in a few hours.
It just finished snowing up here which was really cool, and continues to be…

The second Physics test was this Tuesday and we got the multiple choice scores back today. Again, out of everybody I know, I received the only perfect score. It’s not like I study more than everyone else… or more than anyone else… or at all… The point is… the reason of this post.

Something like 80% of mines was in the top five percent of their class. The average ACT score is like 29. There are ridicules statistics about this place, and yet someone who was like half way in his class, failed the ACT, is the president of a club (and an active one at that), hosts many movie nights throughout the week, member of the robotics club, plays of the flag football team, and doesn’t study can do better than them… It’s not just in Physics but as far as examples go I am sticking with this one.

I had some big thing to say with all this but now I am bored and must return to my minesweeping. I hope you weren’t expecting more with this post… my bad…
