<p>Monday June 5th:</p>

<p>OK..went back to my local community college to start the first day of College Algebra. The class was (as expected) pretty simple. We reviewed the midpoint formula(MIDPOINT FORMULA. yes, you heard me right) and the distance formula, etc. (stuff we learned in the 7th grade).</p>

<p>I nearly went to sleep, the professor had to tell me 3 times to "pay attention"( hey, I couldn't help it a beautiful thing to my right was sporting a lovely thong. You college girls are pretty hot). Just for fun, I interjected with a nice trig. shortcut that we learned in class that could be applied to Algebra 2. I was promptly informed that "we would not be learning trig in this class." (ooo...kaaaay..)</p>

<p>I turned back to oogle at the beauty to my right(hey, what can I say, I'm in high school) and hung my head in Academic shame. So, After class, I silently filed out in sorrow and despair, angry that I wasted $400 (+ $200 more $ on a TI-83 and Textbook) on a remedial class.</p>

<p>I headed back to the dean's office to complete paperwork, when suddenly I had the urgent desire to vent. Dean and I's convo:</p>

<p>ME: Yeah, College Algebra is waaay too easy...
Dean: It is? (nonchalantly) well..do your best..(turns to file papers)
......:(</p>

<p>HEAD OF MATH DEPARTMENT ENTERS (DAMN, WHERE WAS THIS GUY FRIDAY???)
Head of Math Department: It's too easy??? well, are you being challenged? Do you think you can handle a higher level of math?</p>

<p>...(Dean looks up, I WAKE up:D)
ME: No not at all. I'm a concurrent enrollment student and we did this course in the 10th grade. I'm POSITIVE I can handle higher math..(crosses fingers)
ME: Well, I'm applying to Cornell this fall..
MATH: Cornell???.....
* oh yeah, the Head of Math's a Cornell Alumni...:D talk about luck:D</p>

<p>MATH: well...If you expect to be going to Cornell or Umich:) fall 2007, you should come to 216(Applied Calculus 1) & Applied Claculus 2 for Science and Engineering in July.
DEAN: But he only scored 80 on the placement test......
MATH: well..</p>

<p>(long convo/argument(thanks mock trial) ensues)</p>

<p>MATH: On the basis of outstanding peformance in your HS pre-cal, Mr. Hill, I expect to see you in 216 8:00 sharp tomorrow. with today's hmwk.(shakes hand)
MATH: Oh, and we don't do this for many people..</p>

<p>The Head of Math was SOOO owning these guys, you should've seen it.</p>

<p>So we ended up having a long convo about whether I'm ready for Applied Calc..IN THE END I WON. THE HEAD OF MATH SWITCHED ME TO 216:D</p>

<p>YOU GUYS SHOULD'VE SEEN THE DEAN'S FACE.
YES!!!!!:)

<p>i think maguo just meant that he seemed to have everything going for him... (I will give him the benefeit of the doubt)</p>

11

<p>Eye candy only exists in the easy classes...have you looked up Cornell's cheerleaders? They're...not beautiful...exactly...but brains over beauty, right?</p>

12

<p>i guess it was a little racist. but it was tempered down from what i was about to say. sorry if i offended you, richkid. kb's prolly going to yell at me now.</p>

<p>Wow...do you want calculus that BAD? honestly you know the stuff they teach you in HS is pretty useless in the real world, right? why did you pay for classes at college when you're in HS? you know there's a thing called dual enrollment, which your HS pays for your classes right? but i am sure you wont find hot chicks in a calculus class...at least i didnt.</p>
