YAY!! Welcome back Stomach-Ache & Megil.

So glad you are both back. Stomach-Ache, that is fantastic about Amanda! Best of luck to both of you. And it sounds like it worked out the way it was meant to somehow with the 2 others going their own way.

It's very nice that you won't have to move to a different town. It'll be way easier to find a job where you already are. Sounds like the apartments you looked at are nice. I hope things continue to work out good for you.

Megil, I admire you for working whilst going to school and we would never yell at you for not being here when RL gets hectic. That happens to all of us at times. And it is wonderful to hear that you're applying for scholarships. Good luck there! What type art do you do?

(I'm considering going back to school for art or for game design.)

on the school subject, i don't know if any of you guys in college and highskool remember these things we call FSA's oooooooooooooo scary omg they are such a waste of time and you don't even get a mark. it's so very pointless

Are those the letters that are abreviated for the college entrance exams? Or, the tests that give your rating that the colleges will look at?

When I took mine, I came out as a senior in high school with the reading level of a graduate college student but the math skills of a high school freshman. Very high English - low Math.

And my dad was an electrical engineer, so there was a question to him whether it was even worthwhile to send me to college with such a low math grade.

Hahaha... Ibis, I'm right there with you as far as math is concerned.

I'm really really bad with math. The funny part is, I've been told you really had to be good with math to do computer stuff. Turned out I needed no math skills whatsoever, and now I'm a software developer.

My last math grade in IT college was a 5, where 1 is best and 6 is worst. Or was it the other way around? These funny numbers always confuse me

well, unfortunately part of my degree is an ability in maths, which means that I've had maths tests every single year at a horrible, shuddering level. Take for example this beauty.

13. A dopamine infusion is set up for a patient weighing 56Kg, to deliver 2.5mcg/kg/min. The infusion syringe contains 300mg dopamine in 50mls normal saline. What should the infusion rate be?
A. 1.4mls/hr
B. 8.4mls/hr
C. 14mls/hr
D. 17mls/hr
E. 84mls/hr


You've got 20 of those to do in 1 hour (that's 3 minutes per question), without a calculator, and a pass mark of 70%. I failed the first one, but my resit was on Monday and I just found out that I passed - which means no more calculation tests for me! Ever! Unless I want to sit one (which I don't)!

Hehehe..that's great!

You can bet I was in extacy when I was done with my last math exam. To know I'd never have to do one again was more than a bit exhilerating.

I actually liked and did quite well in maths until I started college/uni, when maths no longer made any sense. It was like I was stranded on some surreal planet where all logic was opposite of normal...

To answer the earlier queston, my art is a bit of dabbing in everything. I do a little here and a little there. enough to appease myself, not good enough for others *shrug*

not sure about those exams, the name doesn't sound familiar. But on the math subjcts I am alright at it, have yet to take a college math, but have calculus with analytical geometry this coming semester, which I am not particularly looking forwards too >.<. But I need the course for my major so got to suck it up.

Welcome back Megil, great to see you check in we were starting to get a bit worried.

Well, RAiner thinks he is odd. Mostly because most of his marks come from tests and exams (Rainer loves exams, but hates homework with a passion) and that he seems to rarely require to study for them. In middle school he didn't study for any of his finals and he still got high 70's and low 80's.

Rainer is different, Rainer supposes.

Ah geez, don't mention math...

it's my worst enemy.

I'm horrible at math too.

well i took an IQ test today and i got 113. i am 12 years old is that high for me. but on thr math subject i am so horrible at math. in math class while everyone else is chatting and having fun i have to sit at what my friends call the "stupid table" because i am challenged at amth.

Depending on what type of IQ test you took, the average is typically 100 for most tests. IQ tests vary in what they measure as well, most measure responce time to oral ques (which is why people with the test langauge as a second langauge tend to do badly). But yes 113 is above average so you can say with statistical probability that you are smarter than your friends Even if they can beat you in maths.

Personally I am quite good at maths I was near the top of my form in school and I got top equal for one of the maths test even though I never study Strangly enough I was never in the "smart class" for maths in school even though I could beat most of them in maths.

Maths has never been my forte

I do ok in it, i'm in the highest class in my school for it, but i pretty much get average marks, in the middle. Not especially high or especially low.

The only thing I'm actually really good in when it comes to Math is constructions and such. Making all kinds of shapes, finding locations on maps, making angles, making certain shapes out of a triangle etc. graphical things to say it like that - those are the only I usually get max points on...

same here but @ my new school I passed my last math exam 100% with an 10 [here grades are from 1 to 10 which makes 10 the highest you can get ^^] yay for me

I just got back from the doctor. Turns out i have low blood pressure..damn low. only 80/70
Apparently that's why i've been collapsing. So now i have to get a 24 hour heart monitor and blood pressure thingy

Oh

That doesn't sound so good Wolfie, hope things get better for you!

Do you have any kind of a major disease?
Are you anemic?
