Mind helping me with a school project, again? XD
Thanks. I just need to know your G.P.A. and whether or not you read for leisure. By reading for leisure, I mean reading poetry, books, and/or short stories. Magazine articles don't count. Reading stories online counts though since I do a decent amount of my reading online. I promise this is the last project I'll have! I promise! Thanks for you help. :P

I don't even know what a G.P.A. is and yes, I do read for leisure.

G.P.A. is grade point average. I'm stupid about other countries grading systems so this may only apply to those that live in the US.

*hangs head in shame* My GPA is 2.1 (but will go up this semester). I'm smart, trust me, I just don't do homework.
And yes, I read books for pleasure as well.

I'm definitely with you on that Xng. GPA is no reflection of knowledge and experience.

I'm in high school, and my GPA last quarter was 3.94. Before that, I lived in Bolivia, where GPAs do not exist, so I have no idea. I do read for leisure.

This isn't a paper. This for statistics. I just need to get an answer from people that was a number. And G.P.A. is a number so I just picked it. I'm not judging how smart you are or anything. This is just for a project.

I compared my grades to the US system and discovered my GPA was 3.8
And yes, I read all the time, usually fantasy novels.

You are. Thanks very much. Now 28 answers left to obtain. I hope I can manage to get others to answer me on some other message boards.

my HS GPA was 3.0 i think, and my college GPA was 3.8 until this semester...so we aren't counting that
i'd rather read a book than watch tv any day.

Is this over? Oh well, I'm going to answer anyways, because school is my life, and I'm pretty much not even a person besides school, which requires me to think and talk about it... constantly.
I have a 3.9 GPA in college, and I do not read for pleasure. I'd like to, I wish I did, but I don't. When your college requires you to read over 150 pages a week for academics (I'm not even kidding... I may be underestimating, actually), there's no freaking time.
