What you did today

[Walsingham]

Charmin? I wouldn't wipe my... oh. wait.

 

Seriously, as long as it isn't that tracing paper stuff who cares?

[LadyCrimson]

It's all about the excess lint issue...

[Walsingham]

Maybe we could switch to three seashells?

[Gfted1]

^I love that movie.

[Killian Kalthorne]

Maybe we could switch to three seashells?

 

Just as long as you don't try to listen for the ocean.

[Trenitay]

Ok. That's step one. Now... WHY?

 

She told me I should get shot, I threw a pencil at her and she walked across the room and attacked.

[Killian Kalthorne]

So, you attacked her first and she returned in kind. And you are surprised by this?

[Trenitay]

Yes. She is just an anger machine. I was also surprised bcause the pencil went nowhere near her. I also believe that an offcourse pencil doesn't warant a desk being pushed on me.

[Hurlshort]

It is starting to sound like you got beat up by a girl. You have my condolences.

[Aristes]

Hey, for some guys it's tough to fight women. It's the whole chivalry thing. Me, I'd just run. Of course, I'd probably run if it were a guy also. ...Or a stray cat. Whatever. I'm a born again Krishtun. We're all wimps.

[samm]

Was she, by chance, a target to bullying? Because I know such violent reactions to seemingly small things from people that were subject to constant teasing.

[Killian Kalthorne]

Yes. She is just an anger machine. I was also surprised bcause the pencil went nowhere near her. I also believe that an offcourse pencil doesn't warant a desk being pushed on me.

Maybe if you didn't threw that pencil at her, off course or not, she wouldn't have pushed that desk into you. People can have very bad days and the little things can set them off.

[Gfted1]

At that age, doesnt that mean she likes you and wants to have your awesome babies?

[Guard Dog]

Yes. She is just an anger machine. I was also surprised bcause the pencil went nowhere near her. I also believe that an offcourse pencil doesn't warant a desk being pushed on me.

No kidding there. My ex-wife and I have exchanged gunfire over less.

 

 

 

OK, i am exaggerating, but not much.

[Killian Kalthorne]

My ex came after me with a knife and tried to kill me. That is no exaggeration.

[I want teh kotor 3]

So yesterday I got raped by the Chem AP exam (its basically a final for a nationally-regulated supposedly college-level course). Therefore, I'm now studying my *** off for the next one (World History).

[Walsingham]

Played Red Orchestra far too much today. But did my exercises, and breathing exercises, and did some correspondence. I should have done more but could have done worse.

 

I'm not a regular player of online shooters like Red Orchestra, and some things perplexed me:

- typing "tank to right" lacks a certain immediacy compared with speaking

- The total absence of teamwork renders the whole thing into a confused mess

- Only defensive missions with chokepoints evidence any teamwork

- If you DO happen to get a good team player hang on to the little bastard. Two if us got into a tiger E and did great havoc once we got used to each other's style.

 

I think you ought to apologise to that girl. Firstly because I think it's correct that she is under pressure and you pushed her over. Secondly because angry women are great kissers.

[Shryke]

i was grumpy last night

 

was at the pub and was talking to someone and when i turned back around to grab my drink it was gone

 

someone stoled mah whiskey!

[Enoch]

I am currently drinking a very nice Manhattan I made. 4 parts Sazerac Rye, 1 part M&R sweet Vermouth, a few drops of Angostura bitters, and a maraschino cherry in there just for looks (I rinsed it thoroughly to get the juice out and wouldn't dream of eating the thing).

Good luck. Isn't the Chem AP test statistically the most difficult one offered? I recall it being so when I took it in '97 (in terms of the % of takers getting a 4 or 5).

 

Anyhow, my Chem AP class was interesting. I went to a big public high school (roughly 500 students per class), and there were 2 classes of Chem AP, taught by the same teacher at different points during the day. Now, certain ultra-science students or valedictorian wannabes would take all 3 science AP tests, by taking AP Chem as a junior alongside Phys I, and both AP Phys and Bio as seniors. My younger sister (younger by 17 months) was one such student (she now works as a biologist with a state environmental protection agency), which put her in AP Chem the same year I was (although she was in the class that met at a different period). Sis and I were polar opposites as students-- both of us did well, but she was the "work hard, do all the assignments, and study for long hours before the tests" type, while I was the insufferable "understand the principles in the initial lecture, take the grading hit for skipping the homework, and ace the tests on scant preparation" bastard. Anyhow, Chem AP was an interesting experience because for the first time I really had something forcing me to study-- my sister asking me to help her do the homework. (There were times when I was responsible for the majority of the answers on my sister's homework but still didn't hand in a copy of my own. I was quite the arrogant bastard back then.) It paid off handsomely, in the form of 8 college credits and one gen. ed. requirement I didn't have to worry about. A more prudent person would've used the AP credits to graduate early and save on tuition. But I was too in love with the collegiate experience to do that, so I registered for lots of interesting electives instead.

 

Anyhow, the lesson is that, if you ever get the chance, having to teach the material to somebody else is absolutely the best study aid in existence.

 

EDIT: My HS didn't offer World History. I recall taking AP exams in US History, Chemistry, US Government, and 2 of them in English writing/editing/whatever.

I took four AP tests, European and US history, Government, and Economics. I did miserable on the Gov and Econ ones, but I knew it pretty early on in the year, as the teacher was terrible and I had zero interest in economics. I passed Euro and US History, and it transferred into 12 units at my university, which was a huge help when graduating. It basically got me out of college a semester early.

 

Those two AP classes that I actually passed are what prepared me for college though, the writing skills alone made most college level essays a breeze.

Last night, I went to the pub and stole some sucker's whiskey. Was some good stuff.

[taks]

there aren't a whole lot of placement tests for engineering schools (at least not mine), particularly if you came out of a "college prep" program in high school. we only had to take one chemistry class anyway (with a separate lab). i also only had one english class. well, we had two communication classes, one was actually a graphics design class, the other either literature or composition - i chose literature, all king arthur books! the only other "placement" that mattered would be math, i suppose, and i already had college credit for the first semester of calculus. most people entering an engineering program have probably taken trig/pre-calc, which pretty much assures calculus 1 the first semester, though i don't know if it was a requirement to take a placement test for it at my school.

Ha. I barely passed high school. The yutz that I am. Still, I like to read, which helps.
