Coby, Penni; I was at a friend's house today. Her two sisters were Merit Scholars. Wow. Coincidence. She doesn't remember if they were semi-finalists, finalists, Merits, or whatever.

So how come all Merit people are so stupid, that no one seems to know what's happening? Something, should stick in your sister's head. Shouldn't you be able to beat it into her head? "I am a finalist." ["Big deal. Let me know when you're an Ist."]

How come The Guys at Merit Inc, didn't pick a more interpretable scale, if they're so smart.

In a way, the term semi-finalist is demeaning. I know that's silly, but hey. Even "finalist". Where the heck is the conclusion? Where the heck is the participant resolution? You're at the top of the universe, and you get semi-finalist.

Sheesh.

Big stupids.

"So you were a finalist. Didja win?"
"Semi-finalist. Hmmmmm."

She, (friend), figures an MIT degree is easier to understand.

I hope I haven't made Penni cry. Or anything.

Let us know, when the sign says "Christian Got Laid."

Jeez, I love being mean.

Oh boy. Cancel or Post.
