No fishin' for a while

flbassman · 03-23-06, 04:50 PM

Just got report cards today. Mine's not too hot, so I'm suspectin' my fishing is going to be severely restricted.Here's my parents faces:

Fishing's pretty much all my parents got on me, (other than a good old-fashioned whoopen'), so when I get grounded that's usually all I lose. Sorry to waste forum space, just wanted to share the misery.

your need to vent is understandable.....but you should get your butt into gear and get those grades up there buddy.....(me saying that because i raised 2 of you youngens)....lol....

Hows your kids doing texlady?

flbassman · 03-23-06, 05:16 PM

Yeah, I know, I definitely screwed up.

zooker · 03-23-06, 06:32 PM

hate to see my old report cards. -personly i think my teachers threw me out of school so they would not have to deal with me for another year..

flbass,

Sounds like you recognize the problem, now do something about it! txlady is right, get in gear!

By the way, good grades help pay for stuff such as lower insurance rates, college etc. I assume you are in high school and take from someone who has been there and done that. It is a lot easier to get a good grade in a class than it is to make up for a bad grade to try and raise your GPA. Good luck and study hard!

crankybait · 03-23-06, 06:55 PM

aint that hard bein smart. just pay attention and take notes. after all, class is always boring wether you like it or not, so make the best of it. just take notes and do homework, and youll understand everything youre supposed to

lovinfishin9 · 03-23-06, 07:03 PM

the only grade i gotta worry about is spanish. We just took our advixory test that counts as 20% of our grade in the class and i got an F on it. Not to mention i had a C in the class before the test.... OUCH

HulaPopr · 03-23-06, 07:47 PM

I know the feeling, I've been doing a lot more homework than fishing lately. It probably wasn't the best idea to take ap chem and ap american history in the same year. Next year, my work load will be half this years even with 5 ap's, just cause american and chem are the hardest ones offered....ah well, 5 more weeks...

crankybait · 03-23-06, 08:04 PM

ap courses are supposed to be tough. im not going to make the mistake of underestimatingthem. i made it into 2 medical schools. one offers ap courses in all years, and the other offers AP in only the last 2 years. i gotta make a good choice now...

bassintom · 03-23-06, 11:05 PM

don't know why you have to take spanish....how did you do in ENGLISH?
i was just reaching for the soapbox and my wife slapped my hand..
gotta love that absolute and coke...hic

lovinfishin9 · 03-23-06, 11:12 PM

im fine in english, i had to take spanish for an advanced diploma, i had to have 3 years of it.

Bender · 03-24-06, 11:12 AM

Spanish really depends on the teacher. The first 3 years I had it in high school the teacher was an idiot and didn't know what she was doing so we only learned vocabulary. I took German also at the same time for a year and learned more of that in one year than the 3 years of Spanish. I moved for my last year of high school and took Spanish 4 and it really kicked my butt since I was so far behind. I had to work with the teacher after school, etc. just to catch up. Now I have forgotten it all, but I wish that I had kept up with it since I talk to guys in Italy every day for work, luckily they speak English (sort of).

KenDammit · 03-24-06, 09:34 PM

man, its so awesome bein outta school, heh!

Christopherkeene9 · 03-25-06, 01:45 AM

Man I just jumped into the same boat as you yesterday!

Rodman_Rob · 03-25-06, 02:34 AM

well kiddos, yall need to buckle down. just like in real life, when school give you a bad report card or work gives you a crappy paycheck, you're gonna have to do something about it. I'm wanting a new boat pretty dang bad, over the last six months, I've gone from 3-4 days per week on the water to MAYBE 1 once a week but more likely once every 2 weeks. Hunker down now, will make things easier in the future.....TRUST ME!

Christopherkeene9 · 03-25-06, 08:34 AM

But I only went fishing one time this past quarter, that's why I don't know how she's blaming it on me being down at the pond? It's not like I'm allowed to go on weekdays!
