wasn't there a section on CP for jobs??

No, CP automatically hides the job board for certain people. ;)

How did your exams go?

lol! are your serious?? Is it my age perhaps, but i remember seeing it earlier!! Oh maybe its because i've been inactive for a while? or i'm not as active as the others? Do you see it then Rajesh?

umm.. ok considering the fact that we never got to see our teachers faces at my school and I managed to study for most subjects a day before the paper.

Wow, that sucks. Why didn't you ever get to see your teachers' faces?

lol! They never came and took classes!!! I really took a 'wrong turn' by joining a state school here! I was at a private school till my 10th grade.

That's really crappy! Why did you leave private school? It sounds like public schools here are WAAAAY better! Except that sometimes you see the teachers' faces TOO often, ya know. ;P Especially geography...:suss:

Ugh! My internet jammed up for sometime!! Well its complicated, Private schools for 11-12th grade are much more costlier, and there aren't many around! I also figured i could score better at a state school since we actually had the ability to choose subjects (something state schools never hear of) and we're one year ahead of them. BUT, the system is so vague, much different from the private schools which were originally governed by Cambridge univ. Here they don't care to teach you anything. Its all about bribes, un qualified teachers(and i'm not kidding they can barely speak English) and more bribes! I'm not bad at Math and Phy ... ok ok i'm a nerd and i like the stuff! but at this state school i failed almost everything in the terms, and i told you about my final! Also, they didn't give me computer science even though i got 99% in Computer Applications in the 10th with my eyes clothes, Why? No space! jeez, can't wait to leave!! What about you? In the 9th grade? You a science person too?

No, not 9th grade, think smaller. 8th. But yeah, I've been called many things throughout the ages, most of them involving 'nerd' or 'geek' in some way, often with 'hyper' or 'mega' prefixed onto the beginning. I'm mostly a maths and science person - my aunt gave me a university chemistry book she had and I'm about a quarter of the way into it; she also gave me a book on anatomy/physiology, but I'm not that far through it. I also started learning piano at the start of the year, which is FUN!!! :-D I can't draw, although I really wish I could, and I can't sing either, which I really, really wish I could. I'm generally very quiet, but I tend to write a lot. Often what I write is kinda like 'stream of consciousness' style. I'd like to think that I don't fit into any stereotype, at least none of which I am aware. I know a lot of people at my school think I'm a cold, emotionless, humourless sociopath, a kind of evil genius, but I wouldn't hurt a fly. Honest. :)

Yea a lot of people hated me at school! more people used me as free tech support! :sigh: I'm an ISTJ btw, then again I haven't got a physci take my personality!

heh, i know what you mean, i go by Insane computer geek,I kinda liked 'Computer God' from this geek test i took!!! Oh i play violin, piano and guitar, but beside liking math and science I'm mostly into computers..and i'm an MCP! Oh i wish i could draw too, everyone in my family is an artist except me!! =S I always thought i couldn't sing until I tried one day, i'm not great but hey you should try! Oh i like writing sometimes but i always hate my work!

Oh jeez, I'm so sorry! It was more your last name that lead to that conclusion, and something about mother nature ... on your bio. Gosh i hardly noticed your pic.... sry! yea, even i used to try a whole bunch of things earlier! I really like C# and .NET 2.0 now, so thats what I'm focused on, in fact trying to learn some ADO.NET right now!

Fercryinoutloud... I'm starting to feel like an old geezer here. Kids in high school and junior high? I thought CP was filled with software professionals. I was programming before either of those two were born. Heck, I was MARRIED before either of them were born. anyone else feeling a bit old right now?

If it makes you feel any better, you're much better at programming than I am.
