IMMENSE JEALOUSY!

That's totally awesome man.
I didn't even know they really made them, but now I want one.

If I ever see someone with facial hair as amazing as Lordgenome's I'll totally go for it.

It was pretty cheap actually. $13 USD with shipping. Though, I do need to move the drill to a different necklace. It's way too tight on me.

Amazon is your friend.

EDIT:

Damn French, damn it. For some reason it wasn't on my Report Card and I thought I had a 3.9 (93.6) accume. Now ythat it's been factored in, I have a 3.6~ (92.1) which is ... way to close to the NHS cutoff line for comfort.

[Tragic_Comedian]

We had a jug band going in 1st block today. It was awesome.

Wow... That was an interesting progress report

Six periods, all of which got an A, except for AP English, which got A-, which still was better than the B+ I was expecting.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Good! We haven't gotten our first report cards back yet, but we should get them back mid-November.

Congratulations MoonCat! (I'm assuming that pretty much all As is a fantastic thing)

Yesterday my second period started, and with it my first Uni programming course: Program Constructions and Data Structures I. We'll be programming in ML, a Functional programming language that basically no one at my age knows, just to put us all at the same level and give them a spring board from which to teach us programming. I'm looking forward to this.

ION:
With its better food collection algorithm, my bot has proven itself to at least be able to thrive in the beginners games. I've reimplemented a restricted version of a anthill attack algorithm from the tutorial that I left out earlier to avoid suicidal behaviour early in the game. Haven't seen it in action yet, however.

I'm currently working on a pathing algorithm for my ants. The algorithm that comes with the tutorial is atrocious and keeps getting my ants stuck behind walls and corners, especially on the more labyrinthine maps. I'm working out from the A* algorithm, which is supposedly both adequately fast and accurate, and tries to do it as elegantly as possible. It's a suitable challenge.

Yay! Good luck!

Thanks! I was pretty depressed about the A- at first, since I used to never get the low, but I realized that A- in AP English is pretty good for someone who didn't know what a noun was at the start of the year.

AAAAAAA-wesome MoonCat

I counted those immediately.

[Pheehelm]

Where you go to school, is there any practical difference between an A and an A- long term, or do you just really prefer mid to high A's?

Prefer, and I hold myself to the standard that I probably shouldn't be doing worse than when I was when in full depression and headmistress-ordered teachers were picking on me the whole time than when I'm doing just fine.

think of it this way

it could be your mom who's going crazy on you about not getting A+'s all the time

Heh, my mom nearly confiscated my report card when I looked at it and said "I need to work on that" about the aforementioned A- class.

[Eon]

Hooray for getting good grades in school! *Covers up math grade, only one below an A*

heh, I wish. I got the first rain in several months were I am. It rained for about five minutes.

YAY!

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

It's been overclouded and rainy for the last few weeks here.
Fall arrived late, usually it's like this from mid-september on to early november, after which the Half-Winter arrives, which is mostly scathing wind and super-low temperatures, but no snow. However, the Fall weather didn't arrive until mid-october...

[Teddy]

Grades...

I don't think especially much about my grades. At least note more than twice. To me, they're certificates on how much I've learned, and because learning is important to me, I get good grades. If I get "bad" grades (relatively speaking), I get dissappointed because I hadn't learned as much as I wanted, but after I've learned from them how much I need to work and study next time, I usually leave them behind me.

Given, I've always known that I'll be able to continue the path I'm walking on with the grades I'll get, so I can afford a relaxed attitude, but I find it to be healthy nevertheless. I am, however, well aware that with my endless thirst and love for knowledge, I'm a member of a rather small minority in this world, so I can understand that it's not as easy or stressless for everyone.

Eh, grades don't matter that much. Don't let it get to you too much.

It is very cold and wet here.

ION: Does anyone here believe in ghosts?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

So, this super-long essay I have to write? The 4000 word one?
yeah, so I'm just typing up my notes, to organize them, and I'm about half-way done typing up my notes, and I realize I have 3300 words of notes.

I think I got this essay in the bag.

Same, and I love it.

I do, why?

I love when this happens. As long as you keep it so you don't double the amount of pages required with your venerable wealth of knowledge, then it goes back to being awful

this might be a problem.

I still don't have all my research for the fabric industry in Russia in the 19th century, but I have tons of research on the ironworking industry in Russia in the 18th to early 19th century, and ideally I want to compare the two industries...

[Tragic_Comedian]

I do, why?

Scientific curiosity.

Do you have a maximum word count?

Scientific curiosity.

Like a survey? Or of another variety?

Well, I guess it's a survey of a sort. I just wanted to know.
