Good news and bad news.
Aug. 24th, 2004 01:13 pmBad news first: Some of the test was easy. Some of it was hard. The parts I studied, in fact, which really irriates me.
Good news: Since each test is 50% of the grade, and I got an 88 on the last test, I only need a 32 on this test to pass that class (because 60-44=16 and 16x2=32). Shut up, Jenn. Anyway, there's no way I failed the class.
Better news: I almost certainly got a decent grade on the final anyway.
Best news: He said he's probably curving 10 points.
Final news: I never have to go near a math class again. Yay!
Hm.
I'm dead. Jenn's no doubt already plotting my death and destruction.

I thought robberies like this only happened in worlds with superheroes. I mean, I know theft and armed robbery does occur, but this... it seems so... anachronistic, y'know?

I don't care about the scammyness, I'm willing to shell out $10 just for being amused! And if they're actually honest (riiiiight...) then I get a cheerful reward. Heaven, in the form of the future. Hopefully, one of those nice futures with world peace and lots of food, not one of the evil futures with robots and aliens and humanity enslaved.
Besides, it did keep me entertained for a few minutes, that's gotta be worth something, right?

This is NOT a happy Connie.
It's all right, though. Surely, people will realize soon that there's better ways. Soon. Right? Because I grew up reading dystopic novels, y'know. Or maybe I didn't. But I read them now!

Can one offer a single congratulation?
Actually, this is a nice question. Think of the princess and the pea. Originally (well, not originally, but close enough) the word was pease (yes, like in pease porridge hot). This was a collective noun, like rice or water. You can't talk about one rice, but you can talk about a grain of rice. Back then, there was no one pea, only multitudes of pease. Hm. I wonder if one day people will backform ri from rice? *babbles on and on like this*
*yawns*
Sorry so tired. Should go sleepy. And it's early! *whines*
Night!
