11.5 second Contour SE

I think you guys have me beat. All I have is:

-Member of Computer, Math and Science club in high school
-Worked in tech support for two years
-At one point during my sophomore year I had 8 computers in my dorm room
-Oh, and I'd be at least average at every school on this list

Good enough to be a nerd?

Yeah, it's good enough to know that an 11.5 second Contour doesn't exist! (sorry, had to keep it on topic :crazy:)
 
Most colleges require the act i think all university's do. In place you can take the sat which is scored like out of 2000 or something like that.

When I took it, the SAT was scored out of 1600. Now it is out of 2400 because they include the 800pt writing section. It used to just be the 800pts each for verbal and math.
 
-Chess club

Yea, but did you actually win anything? I came in first place in our spring tournament and overall for the school year... Only two trophys I ever won, good thing they were for first, LOL... I went to a small private school though, so we only had an "official" chess club my freshman year, after that it was board game club... Do you like backgammon? :cool:
 
I'll toss my cards in

from high school:
Choir
Chorale (State division champions x2)
Marching Band (Quads/Trumpet)
Orchestra (Flute) (yeah.. I know.. I've heard it all.. )
Debate team (finalists x2 years, no wins.. blech)
Student body treasurer
Recognized in Who's Who Among American High School Students.

Military:
US Naval Technical Core distinguished graduate
US Naval Electronics School distinguished graduate
Naval Achievement Medal x2
Navy Commendation Medal
Jacksonville Habitat For Humanity Naval event coordinator
Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal

My favorite music is orchestral, classical and operatic.
I also enjoy programming in VB, and C++ but started in GW-BASIC and QBasic.

Anyway.. That's my "damn, you're a nerd" list.
lol

Yeah I just picked up backgammon not too long ago. And of COURSE I won at chess, lol. But only in high school. I'm not anything great but I study it from time to time...
