Congratulations, good sir! Now it's off to college! (If that's your choice, of course.) I remember when I graduated high school, it seems like just a few weeks ago...no wait, it was four months ago...Gandalf wrote:Title says it all, I have graduated with no honour, no accomplishment, no good grades.

Class of 79.
Enjoy being young while it lasts, because it won't.
You won't notice the time passing until, like the Pink Floyd song "Time,"
"Ticking away,
the moments that make up a dull day,
fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way,
kicking around,
on a piece of ground,
in your home town,
waiting for someone or something to show you the way,
tired of lying in the sunshine,
staying home to watch the rain,
you are young and life is long,
and there is time to kill today,
And then one day you find,
Ten years have got behind you,
no one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun!
and you run and run,
to catch up with the sun,
but it's sinking,
racing around,
to come up behind you again,
the sun is the same, in a relative way but you're older,
shorter of breath,
and one day closer to death,
every year is getting shorter,
never seem to find the time,
plan that either come to naught,
or half a page of scribbled line,
hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way,
the time is gone,
the song is over,
though I'd something more to say."
God I feel old.

Grr, you get to stay home and basically do whatever you want besides work. You're the kind of people who have the free time available to make mind-bogglingly awesome 3d models, huge and immense fanfics, and all sorts of other good stuff.

Further good news:
Later that night, at a post grad party, I found a few alcoholic beverages that very much suited my tastes. (I'm 18 now, so it's not illegal.)

A+ : Basic hardware diagnosis and repair. The most useless test in the world that teaches you nothing.
MCP : Microsoft Certified Professional : Basic administrator of a Microsoft product
MCSE : Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer : Engineer in a MS product - build servers, design networks etc...
CCNE : Cisco Certified Network Engineer : You can play with Cisco switches and routers!!
CNA : Certified Novell Administrator : You can be LAN admin on a Netware site!!
CNE : Certified Novell Engineer : You can build, design and play with Novell networks, servers, trees etc...
.NET : After MS got caught red handed stealing off Sun, they came up with their own "Middleware" solution called dot net. It's basically a web application solution consisting of VB.NET, C.NET etc...
COBOL : COmmon Business-Oriented Language : old language i included for silliness
J2EE : Suns new product that 'competes' with .NET.

Re: I am now a high school graduate.
The trouble with A+ is that it teaches people to memorise useless facts and figures, and doesn't teach the 'tech mindest.' I know MCP and A+ certified people who don't know what a command prompt is, or how to resolve an IP address to a MAC address. That's the important stuff, not knowing how many registers are in a 386 SX processor, or the exact switches to setup Windows 95 from an NT4 box. That correctect answer to the last two is: Who cares? I'll look it up if i ever have to do that.Stuart Mackey wrote:How do you think people learn how to fix generic computer problems? osmosis?
