yes, time does speed up every year. I've noticed sometimes you can make time slow down when you change thing or add challenges and variety though, but the default is an exponential increase.
Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and A Very Happy New Year! Hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends! Take care and all the best in the upcoming year! :)
If you're wanting to get into Havard.... 1. You should discipline yourself to not use so many contractions and slang in your writing. 2. You should not be wasting time worrying about where you could graphitti bad things about your teachers.... Instead - you would be proactive and get some higher level administration involved. State your case. Make some change. That would be the kind of thing you could talk about to your admissions people - The fact that you made a difference in your school and changed the system of abuse there.
This was an interesting read - but does emphasize that the interview impression probably isn't the most important thing... and that there is just plain going to be some random luck involved... so do have a back up plan. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/29/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/29Rparenting.html
You should google "how to get into harvard" - I did and there's a ton of hits - here was one you will maybe find interesting.... http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/205530-how-get-into-harvard-harvard-student.html
I don't know if they take attendance into account - I'm not sure that information is ever really recorded. If it affects your grades in the classes, then it would. I think really it's all about 1. Grades. 2. Test Scores. 3. Any entrance essays. Honestly, I'm not the best expert on the subject despite being accepted to both UCLA and Berkeley, I really think it just had to do with my grades more than anything else. As for attendance.... maybe a good exercise is to see if you can find what is interesting in the subject despite the teacher. I had plenty of bad teachers over time - but there are definitely classes I took which I loathed sitting through but now, years later, think back and realize that the information was actually really useful. I think there are a lot of graphic designers who only wanted to draw and such but now wish they'd really absorbed a lot more geometry and trigonometry as today's toolset for designers has advantages for those who can do some simple trigonometry. You never know. Steve Jobs (who was a college drop out) who is credited for the entire desktop publishing revolution by including fontographic information into his computer system says that this was totally due to one random elective course he took while in college about the history of fontography. You never know what the information might cue you to for later.
my world is made up of pink elements. everything is pinkified. i smell pink. i'm in a pinkaholic mood. i take pink cocain everyday. i hear sounds of pink. i read words of pink. the impressions of past is pinked. i'm pink addicted. pinkism is the religion. it's called pincked-out. ~the study of pinkology.~
