Gaming the system is the best skill that IB has taught me so far, to be honest. When you're good at it, it can be beneficial, but you can't do it unless you know the course content to some degree.

Also, did you get your diploma?

God dammit I feel the "IB family" complaints too fucking much. I have a handful of people I enjoy, but the majority of them are completely insufferable. I think that several of them actually believe they're not only more intelligent, but somehow also morally superior to people not in IB. These are the same people who were told they had a high IQ when they were 10 and have been riding that train ever since.

And yeah, I kind of figured no one in college would give a fuck. Hell, I don't tell my friends in high school about it unless they ask me.

Anyways, thanks for being honest. There are so many people who say shit like, "IB was the best thing that I ever did!" and completely glorify the program, so it's refreshing to hear someone who's real about it.

Hope you don't mind if I ask you another question, but I'm looking at doing computer science in college right now...is there anything I should know ahead of time that would help me? I'm pretty good with computers already, and I've been picking up bits of java when I've had time, but I don't really know what I'm doing.
