Wow, good for you! I can see you have very high goals. :> My opinion of the school and grading system is that it's a little bit flawed though, I often have this ambition to complete assignments I'm given at a level of quality which I am capable of, but which the alloted time given within the constraints of the semester do not allow me to do, and that has screwed me over before because I hate compromising and it turns into an all-or-nothing for me. Perfectionism is not all its cracked out to be :/
Aghh, sorry to hear that about ZD issues because SS clash of opinions. Yeah, I have a...to put it lightly, radically critical perspective of skyward sword that I have felt was such an anomaly that it would not have boded well here from the start. I've gotten the vibe that that kind of mayhem would break loose if I pulled out the big guns on SS, so I have intentionally actively suppressed posting my thoughts about it here since last year for that reason to avoid instigating any fights. I think that if I unleashed the full extent of it on the forums, because of how much of a bullet storm it would be it would probably look like I was declaring war on SS, meaning ZD would implode on me and it would not be pretty. Although, at least it seems more tolerant now than it was last year, I remember coming in here last december and seeing endless SS praise threads and stuff, and I knew people would just be honeymooning it for a while before they could start thinking objectively. Which is not to say that everyone who likes SS isn't thinking objectively, just that I think some of them weren't at the time. (Oh and you liking mw3 more than SS is cool with me, don't kill me but I think SS is hands down the worst entry in the Zelda franchise IMO so....I approve. =P)
