Hahah. The thing for me is that I don't believe because I've seen.

But to each their own.

Good luck with the test, Mari.

Can you start getting some tutoring, Mari? I've tutored friends and family, and I usually raise their grades up 2 steps - it really helps!

It never helped me in math

Well, officially I'm following classes for it. It's on the level of last grade primary education, so how hard can it be?

But then I get the test in front of me and all the different ways of solving a problem are just gone. I AM very good at spacial things though, but the calculating of the surface of a circle or 5/6 x 1 7/8 = ? or 8 2/3:3= ? ... that is very difficult for me.
We'll see. I need to score 103 points out of 200 and I have 2 retakes, so I'm not too worried on the whole, just disappointed that I suck at such easy questions. Maybe this time it will go well

Sis, knowing that I suck at something doesn't mean I'll give up.

I thought your post merited satire.

Congrats Mari on passing your math exam!

**Mari** · 03-11-2009, 01:32 PM

I passed. I lucked out big time. Hardly any fractures, but looooots of questions on surface and contents/weight (m2, m3, liter, grammes, etc.) which is something I can do pretty well.
No idea if it is a bare pass or a good pass though. I'll hear that next week or so. Now I'd better start working on my presentation for tomorrow and my Dutch test on Friday.

My sister got home by the way!

Tea anyone? *makes herself a cup of honey tea with a hint of mandarin*

See, that's what I do, and it works really well. ^_^ I have saved SO MUCH TIME.

YAY, Mari! *hugs* Congrats! *brings in a big cake to celebrate*

**Mari** · 03-11-2009, 02:13 PM

Hehe, thanks! *blushes happily*

And I actually feel like eating today, so that cake is great!

How is your day Acally?

Acalewia · 03-11-2009, 02:30 PM

Great, so far.

And you?

**Mari** · 03-11-2009, 02:41 PM

Almost over

But it was a nice day. Beautiful weather and lots of smiles

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-11-2009, 03:14 PM

My weather is gloomy and damp. But my enthusiasm continues.

You know, belief is a tricky thing. But It was a good line that Acally said, even if Mari thought it was over dramatic.

We had a biology exam last Thursday, and then half the class went on an optional field trip to see Lucy (the Ethiopian skeleton). I was joking with my teacher that couldn't do as well as last time (51/50 with the bonus) and I would probably get a B.
Next day we get our tests back and my teacher says "Well, you didn't get a B..." and I got an A. 48/50. YAY!

We have another test tomorrow! YAY! I like Biology.

Anyway, I home sick today. Poop. Being a woman can be such a drag sometimes.

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-11-2009, 03:34 PM

"prodrome' is a complex of symptoms that occur before another condition. Migranes are often accompanied with visual components.

As far as the whole" being a woman" thing, it partly depends on how you experience it. It sure knocks a hole in one's average day planner, but it's possible to use that as a good thing.

Eat parsley.

klatukatt · 03-11-2009, 03:49 PM

Parsley? Really? Neat.

I've never had a migraine, so I'm not familiar with the symptoms that come with it.

Actually, I did not think it was overdramatic, I liked it. But it just made me think of the X-files, which, in all fairness, I never really watched.

*gives Katt a hot water bottle* Hope it helps

That's not true! I'm more wicked than sin, and I've been sleeping very well lately.
