      "sigh"

      I lost 70 bucks on my investments. Oh well it could've been worse. I have an investment plan with one of my banks that fluctuates so it must've been a not so great period. I usually accumulate 100-300 dollars per period so it's not even all that risky an investment scheme.


      In other news the lady i've been e-mailing is going to be a convert to comic books MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I linked her to 4 Batman TPBs. She happens to be a big Batman fan overall and what impressed me is that she KNEW the Tim Burton Batman movie was the 2nd and not the first like so many people mistake it for.

      Me thinks I gotta work hard to get this woman LOL but right now we're just friends.

        That's almost the exact computer I just bought. No complaints so far, but I'm not a computer spec guy.

        Here's the one I just got.

            What TPBs did you hook her up with?

            See if she's aware of the two Batman serials. I've yet to see them personally.

                  I hate the cold w/ a passion. My desire to move out of Ohio is driven mainly by my hatred of the cold. I almost hate football season b/c I know winter is just around the corner. Thinking of moving to Hawaii; Warmth + Asian Women = Awesome.

                        I had a tough time with my high school algebra I and II classes as well, mainly because the teachers were long overdue for retirement. I actually had one of them tell me 'If you don't' get it now, you're never going to get it" when I went in for help regarding functions. To give you an idea of how overdue for retirement these guys were, my mom had both of them when she went to the same high school nearly 25 years earlier. Furthermore, my senior year a new class called Algebra III was offered for people who'd taken I and II but weren't quite ready for trig (ideally it would've been a sophomore of junior class) and it was taught by another teacher who'd also been their when my mom was in high school. However, unlike the teachers I had for algebra I and II, he still cared about teaching his students (actually had the same guy for 7th grade math and really liked him). I got A's and B's in algebra III while I struggled to get C's in I and II.
                        Soemtimes one just have bad luck with teachers, some can't exlain, some doesn't have patience, some or just bad; on the other side you can have great teachers who can be very good people. When I struggled during those times I felt so frustated, I couldn't make one right even though I felt that I was learning and understanding. After failing so many exams (couldn't enter college last year because I couldn't pass Algebra) I tried going to extra classes with other teacher and after showing him my previous examns he told me that the level of those exams were too high for the normal standards and he hasn't seen other schools asking for that level. I ended up changing schools just to take that exam. At the end I got a 11/12 (that's our system, examns out of 12) when on the other school I had 2 or 3 (the minimum level to aprove is 5).

                            I guess I forgot to turn off Maximum Strength earlier as I was putting my bag in my car and ripped the door handle off of it.
