Fifty Percent
SAT practice question: So what exactly do you get when you combine a budding economist, a budding physicist, a mutual love of mathematics, and one red Volvo station wagon?
Answer: Well, at the very least, it's a pretty sweet computer: a 14-inch iBook G4 purchased by Jonathan Kadish and me, to be precise. Foolish, you protest, for Apple is switching to the x86 architecture in less than a year. Ah, but we have our ways, and clever they are indeed. Just one more iBook to buy, and we're in business. If you need an iPod, I have one that's brand new in the packaging that I'll sell for $269. Meditate on it.
And in other other, depressing news:
Physics picks up, but only from a mathematical perspective: we've done a ton of triple integrals, but barely any physics of which to speak... the other classes droop down: English is utterly worthless so far and advanced chem is a little mundane and easy. Spanish is the one highlight: because I skipped a year, I'm actually feeling a little challenged and I'm learning.
So, uh, why exactly did you buy this computer? What is it for? And consider me for the iPod. How many gig is it?
For advanced chem, I'm already done with all the homework due a week from tomorrow.
Foolish, I protest.
I'm constantly amazed at how uneducated most consumers are.
Advanced chem is simple. So simple, in fact, that you must prepare seperately for the AP examination.
Advanced Chem is a super easy class if you pay attention...the real difficulty it staying awake and knowing when you actually have to learn.
Spanish is so great. Who is teaching it this year?
Profe Coleman. That class is so much fun. Plus I actually learn things. It's pretty awesome.
