Nah, for skool's newspaper; I have to do it for CAS. I tell you Martin, I honestly don't know how I survived the last week. Did my français last night. :) Speaking of which I got a 6 on my presentation oral :tup:
Sweeet! :tup:

Yes CAS was silly. But my school was really lenient, we got away with the laziest stuff ever. :D As part of my "service" I claimed that I was writing code for this company. In reality it was a company I had made up with a friend and we just wrote code for ourselves. :D In my report I had screenshots and everything.

Haha, thanks yeah it was good. I can't tell you about CAS hahaha, last year the students which Graduated basically did the exact same thing as you for basically all of the criteria and forged it. And I just happen to be in the year where the initated that you have your CAS pre-approved, provide evidence, aswell as reflect on it. Oh well, just my luck I suppose. :D

Oh no, we didn't forge it, we actually did the stuff, but it was stuff we would have done anyway (coding for fun) and just made it look a little more official than it was :D

Sucks when they bureaucratic on your ass. Friend of mine did his first year of IB in some school in London and he said they were super strict about CAS. They had some band there so his service was to set up the stage, the lights etc for the band for a concert. And that took I guess most of the evening, but he only got one hour of CAS out of it.

This isn't Mensa. I speak French at the level of asking where the bathroom is.

Ah ok, I get you now. Well it's always a plus if you can do something for CAS that you actually liked for instance I got all of my 50 hours with Football season last year so that was an added incentive. I guess the same could apply for you and your friend's coding hehe. :D

Damn, that blows. Yeah, I did over 20 hours of service at my skool's IT Department for an internship with having CAS on my mind. I get back to skool and am informed that none of it would count as none of it was pre-approved, I wasn't too happy about that I can tell you :D

you re prolly too cool for mensa anyway, but thats from the first page of a fascinating novel, though written by an anti-semite(everyone sorta was at the time), the passage discussed the "merits" of the french and their origins.
Can't read it, assume it's bashing. French bashing still cool in 2009? Carry on then.
