[dlinkwit27]

I need some help with homework :(. I have been looking for the past hour, and I jsut can't find the information I need. Can anyoen find a table/chart/listing or anything that shows how much oil the United States gets from Iraq, Canaa, etc.? Thanks a lot.

if you consider that reliable

[dlinkwit27]

that works for me :). All she wants is a chart. I can BS the source. Like she is really going to go to (minimum) 90 different sites/books. ;) (30 students, three- five sources each) :p

So how did you do on the report :D

[dlinkwit27]

It turned out to be completion. :mad: I got (a whopping) 10/10. :rolleyes:

[d0rk]

wooo that was worth the effort lol

[eleet-2k2]

The important thing is that you got perfect. ;) TOo bad you worked extra hard for nothing.

Other than where the U.S.A. gets it's oil, I think you learned a more valuable lesson. ;)

Completion grades rock.

thats the same as a 100% ya know...

[anubis2003]

I think he is upset because all that work he spent doing it, and he only had to try a little in order to get the 10/10.

[dlinkwit27]

ya. I thoguth it was going to be some 50 poit grade and whatnot, which would be worth half a test score, but instead it was 10 adn most every idiot in the class who wriote more than 3 setences got a perfect. I saw people writing it in the morning and they jsut said "snn.com" was their source, and got 1010, and I actually tried and researced and put thought into it and got the same grade. idk why im so mad tho, i do that sometimes, finish a worksheet before the bell rigns, but when I do it, most the time its just a owrksheet, no real thought involved. oh well, it is 100%, so woo hoo :)

[anubis2003]

snn.com?

That site doesn't look trustworthy on this issue.:p

[dlinkwit27]

cnn, sry. typo. :rolleyes: is that a real site?

/edit. yes it is.

lol, owell, geez that not like what i do, if i only need say 90% to get an A, and i get 94%, than thats 4% of my time wasted, i have a real apathy problem, that could look better. "but i;m still getting a B anyway."

That proves my theory--never try hard, and good things will happen to you anyway.






actually, that's not my theory, but I knew/know quite a few people who did follow it.

[ohhjebus]

it just means that dlink needs to learn to figure out what things are important enough to put real work into and which things you half ass cause its required.
I think high school in general falls into the half ass category though. Except AP tests. those are worth working at. I'm a semester ahead in school because of all my AP credits.

I thought success was 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. In other words "you don't sweat it, you don't get it"
