Friend of mine handled most of the technical aspects. I can hardly take credit for its actual creation, just its inception. As to making money, $100k+ is high, but possible. My brother-in-law started out at 80k (plus some 15k additional starting bonus), is now at something like 130k after two years. Engineer for Exxon. So it isn't exactly far-fetched, especially if OP graduates college after a few years, once the world's (presumably) out of this slump.

I worked a landscaping job for a while. Made less than half of minimum wage, paid under the table, thirty hours a week. I take pride in that... Apart from that, mostly similar work. Take little jobs when they're available. I don't need much money. My car's paid off, insurance is pretty cheap for someone my age, don't use tons of gas or anything. Nice and easy. Once I'm in the military, I don't plan on making the same financial mistakes most guys I see make. Nah, I get almost all of my needs taken care of. What little I make is going straight into savings. Also, my hit collab EP is relevant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz5v417mAnI&list=FLYZlz_W7RRws&index=1 (can I get an lol? no? so something with money in it isn't really that related? oh, ok)

I spent a couple days in Vancouver. Place is the bee's knees. Everyone spoke English, it was awesome.

Fair enough. I know very little about computers, so had no clue about their possibilities. They're the only major group of people I know about. They brought down PayPal a while back, right? I needed it that exact day... I guess I knew most of them were kids that just like to play with computers. I just wondered if there were enough of them to cause a problem.

I dunno, I just heard about it. Not like the combined forces of 4chan haven't done some crazy stuff before. But I'm hardly knowledgeable here, was more hoping to check out all the folks' opinions who do know.

I like the [cabbage] out of it.

I found out why the show's awesome. Might be my favorite episode.

I watched the first episode. [cabbage]'s real. Can't wait to watch all the rest. All of them.

I love henleys...

This is good advice for any of the mathematically-centered tests. For the rest, you have to learn how to sound smart and use the question to your advantage. I scored a 5 on English (junior year, I assume the same one OP took), 5 on Economics (macro), and 4 on environmental science. English, easy. Economics, not bad, but I had to review pretty hardcore for a while (and I'm very surprised at such a good score). Environmental science amazed me - in my class, we had learned very little actual AP material due to the class being full of seniors considering it "blow-off". With more subjective tests like those I took, you have to know the basics first, along with advanced theories and whatnot. These tests are to show whether or not you would have the knowledge of an average college student. To be honest, the average college course isn't much harder than a high school class, it's just more independent work than many students are used to. All you have to do is demonstrate your knowledge - even if you don't get the question right, you will get some sort of credit. Take all the AP tests you can. If your district offers review sessions (my school district had a massive push this year for AP testing, offering many tests free and free review sessions on weekends, and they got hella results I hear), go to them. But the most important part of taking tests is not quite studying, but adapting. You can't read everything on a subject. But you can use what you do know and adapt it to the current situation. If I'd just panicked and given up like the rest of the kids taking the Environmental Science test, I wouldn't have gotten that score. So... Yes.

Way I see it, makes sense. You aren't actually looking them in the eyes, it might be a bit higher than the eyes. Seems sort of haughty for me.

It's way too analytical. I hate analyzing things. Doesn't mean it isn't useful knowledge. Or, at the very least, something cool to tell people.

Looking someone in the right eye shows you think of them as an equal; looking between their eyes shows you think you are better than them (or not at their eyes, but not downcast); looking between eyes and lips shows romantic interest. Keeping your eyes downcast shows weakness or respect or humility, depending on the situation. Not everybody will notice. Few will, in fact. But it's a useful tool for building relationships. The details are important.

It's true. My idea of skating shoes have knives on the bottom. (rollerblades)

Young white girls are the juiciest news stories. Preferably wealthy, but not too much. Toss in a young man known for being a hooligan, boom you've covered a massive market in America. I don't really have an opinion on abducting young white women, though. Bad.

Yeah, just a slight fire danger. An inch of rain a year tends to do that... Feel sorry for anyone caught lighting up here. $500 fine minimum, especially since Garza County's been burning for a week just to the southeast. I guess I'll give an extra-hard workout. I'm told I'm America's future. Might as well make it a strong one.

Really? Everyone I've talked to that's had an LOA thinks they got it mostly for academics. Maybe USNA is different, I dunno - hope I'm one of those exceptions, I hate waiting. But awesome with the presidential nom, I just need some recommendation forms done for my Senators. I think my lower back is immune to any stretch.

Appreciate the advice, I really do. I reckon when the test actually comes I'll slip into a crazy state of mind and go balls-out, but it's good to get as good as I can. Do you know any stretches for the lower back? Mine tends to start hurting toward the 40 sit-up mark nowadays (got 50 pretty easily last time I did any) and it throws me off. I'm not real worried about my CFA, especially since I have to take the Marine PFT even sooner (before the end of July) for NROTC. My mile got to me yesterday, 7:50 even though I felt good. So I'm practicing distance now for the PFT (3 miles under 28 mins, preferably in the 24 range), which should help with my breathing, which is my main problem... I hear running and pull-ups are most important to Annapolis, especially for Marine contracts. I'm running and doing P90X Chest and Back and Arms, along with MMA twice a week (really helpful). Helps that my dad does the P90X with me, he really goes into Marine mode, makes me max out and then do two more. So, lemme know if you get any letters of assurance or anything. I'll keep in mind that you're the one I'm saying Beat Army towards.

France was still fairly powerful. Libya had been beaten down for centuries, France was one of the most powerful nations in the world less than twenty years before Napoleon. But I do understand the comparison. And I know practically nothing about Libya, so I will keep my head down.

Napoleon Wouldn't call that advancement. France was hardly backwards, Napoleon just picked up what was left after the mess of the Revolution.

I'd say either the 1000 Miles (I love 'em), or, if you prefer Red Wing, something along the lines of these. There are more colors I think.

They look a little bit like Wolverine's 1000-Miles, but not quite streamlined enough... Hm.

Bummer... In related news you folks might appreciate, I'm applying to Annapolis. And it seems to be going mighty well.
