Also, Andy Roddick vs Roger Federer today was just incredible. I really have to take my hat off to both of them. Some of the best Tennis I've seen was played today. While I was sad that Roddick lost, I really have to give it to Federer. The man knows how to win. Great match.[/FONT][/QUOTE]

[font=trebuchet ms] Epic match, although I'd say not nearly as good as last year's (god that match was [i]orgasmic[/i]). This year's match was just [i]surreal[/i] and almost ridiculous, I mean once they reached 13-all I was like biting my nails down to the skin.

So happy Federer won, although Roddick did awesomely this year at Wimbledon. Hope he brings his A-game to the US Open, although I am dying for a Federer/Nadal final for the US Open. Federer is definitely the GOAT, although this win validates that statistically.

I've been fighting bitter Roddick fans all day lol.[/font]

[FONT=Arial]Playing volleyball in the rain at twilight is, unexpectedly, rather fun.

I'm just glad I can make up crap on the spot, or I'd have sucked, since I hadn't played volleyball since the sixth grade. Which was, what, almost eleven years ago and lots of growth in between?

Also blueberry pie is lovely.[/FONT]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I'd question your taste in stores, but the revelation that Hot Topic stocks Chowder merchandise has made it so that I can't bring myself to insult them now.

Also, got Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness for DS today. It's alright, but your stamina burns away like nobody's damn business and it's rather annoying trying to water your plants when three whole lots make you faint.

Still better than Harvest Moon DS, though. 60 Harvest Sprites just to get married? Bite me, Natsume.[/FONT]

I'd question your taste in cartoons, but the revelation that the show's merchandise is stocked in Hot Topic has made it so that I can't bring myself to insult it now.

I'm more of a Flapjack fan myself.

[SIZE="1"]Flapjack is repulsive.

Hot Topic is starting to stock up on stuff from the 90s now...like...I saw a friggin Angry Beavers shirt there a week or two ago. That's awesome.

...plus, I love their makeup and hair stuff, even if I never buy it.

Yes I am a loser.[/SIZE]

[quote name='SunfallE'][COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]The stamina deal is why I never got into Harvest Moon, Ace. I borrowed someone's copy and tried it and thought, forget this. Never played it again. lol [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Yeah, the system tends to be a pain at times. Though it's counterbalanced by the fact that you can just eat weeds or whatever and get it all back again. Kind of funny if you think about it too much.

Also, well played, Chibi. :smirk:[/FONT]

Being a mindless drone to the Gavin Empire makes it so that one is able to deliver a good comeback every once in a blue moon...

Also, my sister is having my Dad put wood flooring in her room. This means I have been listening to them work for the past few hours. Have I ever mentioned how much I abhor the sound of a hammer at work?:animeangr

[FONT=Arial]I feel I must rant again about college professors insisting their students need the precise latest edition book for their class when said book costs upwards of ten times the cost of any [I]normal[/I] book or manual on the face of the planet.

Seriously. It cannot cost that damned much to mass-print [I][U]Introduction to Programming and Numerical Methods[/U][/I] when campuses around the fracking [I]country[/I] are requiring them for purchase.

Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to reprint the book every year with a slightly rearranged homework problem layout. I THINK THE CONCEPT CARRIES.[/FONT]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Yes, it's for women. Which makes it kind of ironic.

[SIZE="1"]This. Although professors who demand you buy their own book which costs about twice as much as a more widely printed book on the exact same subject is equally irritating.[/SIZE]

It's bad enough that books are absurdly expensive, but that kind of thing just annoys the hell out of me.

[font=trebuchet ms] Emma Watson going to Brown makes me bitter about college and in turn makes me hate myself and hearing of Nick Jonas visiting Northwestern and calling it his dream school makes me curse the day I didn't get in.[/font]

"Sigh" Crappy day yesterday, and having an even crappier day today. (Well, it's not really all that crappy outside of trying to do this homework.) These instructors are ridiculous. I have college math 1 on Friday's and most of our work (homework) mainly consist of writing assignments..... (WTH!!!) Is it even possible to write a whole page on math problems?

The assignment that was due 2 Friday's ago was to give a step by step explanation on how to factor each problem: (Which I'm just now getting to)

1) 9 - x2 (don't know how to type exponents)
2) 4x2 + 81 - 36x
3) 4y2 + 16y + 16
4) x2 - 25
____________
x + 5

To get full credit, it has to be a full page. (>_>) I've yet to have a composition class so writing is still very hard for me at the moment.

The very first assigment that was due was a writing assigment where I had to explain the advantages of scientific notation.

These assignments are worth 30% of our grade, and then quizzes (which we are not allowed to make up if we are absent) are another 30%. Group quizzes is worth 10% and Homework quizzes are another 10%.

Tell me about it. I swear, as much as I dread writing, I'm going to boycott if I don't get composition next quarter. I need to learn how to do this stuff if these instructors (that has no business giving these types of assignments) are going to keep giving me writing assignments. (Did I mention that there's a writing assignment due each Friday in this math class?)

The one that's due this Friday though, hopefully should be a little easier to write since it's dealing with the coordinate plane
