    Its extraordinary. I used to know that kind of stuff very well. Diferentiation, Integration, all kinds of complicated maths, and without fail, I have never used any of it since leaving education and have forgotten all of it. Extraordinary. What did I learn it for?

              This[^] is my working out. I got a = 6, which is the right answer. BTW, sorry about the shaky writing. I've had way too much caffeine tonight. :)

                  I slept through class, never did my homework, and got strait Fs most of the time. Then I signed up for OWE ( a working program ) which made it so I only needed 21 credits instead of 25. Pulled some strings, and I got some credit for helping out an autistic person for a semester. Finally I rode off on my bike with a diploma.

                  Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.

                  That autistic person most likely has turned out to be a more successful person than you could ever hope to be. You aren't worth anything to anyone.

                      I really hope people wake up and realize that Marijuana needs to be completely legal. At least I can find other legal alternatives. 2C-I[^] is on my list of things to try and its headed my way soon. I can't wait to for it to get here.

                      Somehow, it strikes me as incredibly funny to link the concept of realizing some truth-claim with using mind-altering substances.

                                      Word, write letters and sh*t yo. It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Everyone needs believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer.
