20 people in young democrats today, whoa, ok ask me anything
Thats just awesome stuff guys. Oh and is there anything to be ashamed with a 2.5 GPA about? I also got some good laughs today by telling my film class that I was afraid of Cheney, yes speedos, and yes baloney, among other more rational things. Yet another great day.

2. We got some but I am a senior in HS so most of us are like me 17
One of my pals though is having a voting registration drive at concerts that the local bands do. So that's great stuff. We not only meet more often than the young republicans but we outnumber them by a lot. I would say we had 5 new people today, plus I am gonna be going down to DC to do some stuff like counting DNC stuff and then I may canvass my neighborhood or some neighborhood. Really its just so awesome to be there.

21. Jeez Louise... My current GPA is 2.5, and I'm embarrased about it.
My high school GPA was 2.95. I was the top student at my high school to NOT receive cummulative honours at graduation.

19. I am just so amazed by how many people we got
It's not like I live in liberal utopia, this is a republican town, we got a republican mayor, have had a republican congressman since the early days of Reagan.

HS GPA won't matter much in the long run. Obviously it might be difficult to get into certain college with that GPA, but there are many colleges that will accept you (after all you have other qualities and strengths other than grades). Also, there's nothing wrong going to a community college your first two years and then transferring to a 4 year college/university. It also saves a lot of money.

So there's nothing to be ashamed of.

BTW Cheney does scare me (but he pisses me off even more). I just can't stand him. Speedos are frightening...I suppose I'm more ambivalent toward boloney.
