I just got a 92.5% on a math test where the class average was 41%. I'm more shocked then anything else.

well done sproutling! If the average was 41% what did the dunces get!

Did you know that having a higher maths qualification has a direct corralation to higher lifetime earnings? My son did well in his maths and went onto do some real high level stuff in his degree in engineering. No engineering companies activly attempted to recruit him but 3 banks did.

Thanks! I didn't know that, but it makes a lot of sense. I have been working with my brother, who is working on his tutoring skills. That way we both win. I don't know what everybody got, but the girl behind me got a 34%

You wouldn't think there was a wrong, he's looking so well.
He's been looking so crap lately.

Yeah, well...

I may, however, bite someone today, although I'll do my part to minimise the collateral damage.

Thank you! My maths teacher actually said he was proud of me, which is like receiving a gold medal in his book.

Oooh, I've done that before. Not fun at all.

Budhorse - congrats on your 92.5%!  I guess you showed them who is "backwards Eurotrash" now!  *Victory dance*

Sorry you're feeling crummy Asmo.  Shall we start another Asmo fan thread to cheer you up?

It's one of these days when polishing Asmoego just won't do any good. He'll still be... Gloomy.

Maybe you can go the other way then.  When I'm in a mood, if I can't break it, I often revel in it.  Like, say I'm feeling angry and snarky (most of my bad moods manifest themselves as anger rather than sadness.)  Instead of trying to make myself less angry, I start really working myself into a good lather of theatrical anger.  Was better when I smoked, as I could take lots of angry drags on my cigarettes, and squint my eyes at everything.  I'll yell a bit, and maybe kick some things for good measure, and really throw myself into enjoying being good and angry.  Before I know it, I've cheered myself up.  Maybe you could go super gloomy, put on some black lipstick, say really melodramatic lines like "We all die...alone...." and heave a bunch of heavy sighs until you make yourself laugh.

Asmodean

Thanks for the hint, but I've been reveling for the better part of the day and my spirals, they only point down.

It will pass when it does... And if it doesn't, I'll do something about it (No, nothing sinister - a shrink or some such)
