Mende Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Unfortunately I didn't buy any new anvils or powerhammers lately.. .but I;m happy that my test scores from an American TOEFL ( Test of English as a Foreign Language organized by ETS . .that is ran by Princeton) I got 112 out of 120! .. This drastically increases my chances of getting accepted by a good university! anyways .. Just wanted to share this with you as it made me very happy!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I knew that as long as you didn't speak blacksmith slang to them you would do well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunkriv Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If you keep hanging out here where there are so many 'mericans your english scores are likely to slip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skunkriv Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If you had started talking about hardies, fullers, swages, and "upsetting some iron" you would have had them digging in their dictionaries :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Martin Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Maybe, that might have up-ed your score. Anyhow great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mende Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Well . . I was thinking of applying to some universities in England. . ..based on media and communication ..like creative advertising or diplomacy stuff. .. also seen they had some advanced courses for artist blacksmiths. .and jewelers. . but i'd rather do one of those as a second degree.

John Martin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Why not take a course that covers bsing, pyrotechnics, and advanced metalurgy. If it's possible to set that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Nope "never give an answer smarter than the one the grader would choose". They will mark it wrong and then you have to fight for it and then they resent you for ther rest of the term. Learned that one in an English class when I used a word not in the TA's dictionary and was marked down and had to tell him it was in the OED with two varient spellings. I had to fight for my grades the rest of the semester! Now here at New Mexico Tech we have a very highly rated explosive's research facility and the students actually can get credit working on the fireworks they produce for our 4th of July celebrations. Welcome to New Mexico Tech Weather is very sunny and very dry and you could even spend time in my shop! Pay no attention to the regular explosions you hear during the week.
