Section 1
upthedownstair: if metalheads are intelligent then wtf happened to me??!?!? why aren't i getting better marks in ext2 eng?!
Legham: Haha, you'd have to have a decent level of intelligence to even attempt ext2 english
upthedownstair: Haha hmm... point taken
Emma: That question was a total set up.
ur_inner_child could have been speaking generally, but I interpreted it to be intended for upthedownstair in relation to section 1:
Intelligence doesn't always mean academic intelligence.
Emma giving an example of how you could have intelligence, ignoring that you guys settled on “just attempting extension 2 English” as showing intelligence:
Yeah, perhaps you have emotional intelligence. Ftw
upthedownstair: yeah lol it was a total complete setup coz im a fucking n00b. emotional intelligence? wtf... : pleaseelaborate:
Emma to upthedownstair in relation to section 1 and “yeah lol it was a total complete setup coz im a fucking n00b”:
Oh well I know I always seem to mention what extension classes I'm taking (3unit math and advanced English). I guess it wouldn't have made much sense to say "why aren't I getting better marks in general math?" - Answer: YOU'RE A DUMBARSE! But no, extension 2 English? Wow you must be pretty frickin' smart, to a person of average academic level or par, to even attempt such a feat, to even be considered worthy for such a prestigious placement.
Emma “elaborating” on emotional intelligence:
Apparently, there are different forms of intelligence. So while the topic suggests all MetalHeads are intelligent, it doesn't necessarily mean academically so... as you pointed out what with your not achieving satisfactory marks that was a blatant attempt at status recognition. There's also a thing called emotional intelligence which is another form of intelligence amongst many others I'm sure... I'm not going to tell you what Google can already tell you, but basically it's being able to express yourself emotionally, being aware of your emotions and being able to manage them positively.
I probably interpreted that all wrong but meh, you know where I'm coming from now. Any questions?
