DragonFlames Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Continued a bit in CyberNep and tried out different teams and characters. I came to the conclusion that Black Heart is OP as hell. She absolutely destroys everything in her path with her fast, multi-hitting attacks and high-level magic. And due to her greatsword, she has deceptively high range, as well. Once I found out that the four Goddesses were actually playable, I wanted to "main" Purple Heart (because... y'know... waifu and stuff), but now I'm seriously considering "maining" Black Heart instead. 6 hours ago, Falcom Knight said: Don't you have pills against it? Mine usually help, the pain stops after one hour at the latest. Also taking a shower and drinking help too. I don't have any medicine against migraine specifically, but I do have painkillers that I use from time to time if it gets too bad. Can vouch for that last one. Drinking water and showering definitely helps, if only a little. 1 hour ago, twilitfalchion said: This basically sums up my experience with math in HS and college.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) My gradutation result in math intensifed course: Exactly the number of points I needed to pass. 😄 I liked math - unlike languages - but geometry always ruined my mark. Analysis and especially stochastics were really fun. I barely had a choice for intensified courses. Not enough people picked geography as intensified course, so I had to pick math besides biology.  18 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I don't have any medicine against migraine specifically, but I do have painkillers that I use from time to time if it gets too bad.

My math exam was an oral exam (because I didn't want to deal with the written stuff). 1 minute ago, Falcom Knight said: I liked math - unlike languages - but geometry always ruined my mark. Analysis and especially stochastics were really fun. Interesting how people who like math tend to dislike languages and those who dislike math tend to like languages. I find myself in the latter category, but I have met many who fit either of the two. Never met someone who liked both, though. 3 minutes ago, Falcom Knight said: I meant these. Ah, I see. I do use them, as I said, but in great moderation, usually only when the pain gets really, really bad and/or right before I go to sleep.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 German is my first foreign language. German and English have been my worst subjects in my entire life and ever will be, mainly because I don't read. I deselected English and picked Dutch instead for graduation which was the only tolerable language because it dealt with aspects from current or close past history and society instead of fricking poems or any other lyrical texts I didn't understand.

If you reverse the grading scale, 3 points is an excellent grade, I'll have you know! XD The other subjects I sucked at were chemistry, physics, and sports. Biology was fine, but only because I was in the "we dropped all the natural sciences except biology because you can't graduate without taking at least one natural science course" class, so our biology teacher did what amounted to a "Biology for Dummies" course with us, so I got pretty good grades there. 1 minute ago, Falcom Knight said: German is my first foreign language.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) A Shakesperan poem was the bane of my existence. I remember my final test before delesction was to analyze it. I submitted an empty sheet just with the topic final class test with the appropriate score.  Also can call me weird for picking French instead of Latin for three years. Actually French was cool and I was not even bad in writing. Just my pronounciation...... was a bit...... off from calling it French. I still can the grammar at least.

I had a friend who was really good at math, but bad at languages. We'd usually help each other out with our studies, so we got about low average grades on the subjects we were bad at as opposed to really sucky ones. He transferred to a different school, though, so I had to do the last three years by myself. Needless to say, my math grades took a nosedive.

Eventually, i just started throwing away my report cards if they had bad grades (this was before grades were published online) which was usually the case.....except for the times when the teachers were smart and required parental signatures on the report card.

Interdimensional Observer Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I loved school myself. I made no real friends, but I was a weirdo who would read ahead in the history textbook for fun. College in particular was a dream in any class where there was a fully engaged student body- aka all of graduate studies. My natural intellectual, somewhat quirky, charm won most of my professors to me, though I tried to stay humble, for nothing is worse than arrogance. I'm certain one professor at my community college lowered my final grade from an A to A- for behavior that went too far... I concede that my tendencies without proper mindfulness could be problematic in undergrad and pre-college. Though I portrayed myself as innocent back then, later I came to realize that I was in the wrong and afterwards made a concerted effort- not always entirely enough I thought- to banish my disruptive rudeness. Such was a mind affected by Asperger's. To move past retrospective self-criticism, if I won millions of 💵 from the lottery or something, I would definitely go back to college for the fun of it. I'd take a bunch of new degrees, a half-dozen or more Masters in History b/c I absolutely don't know everything I should in the field, and a few Bachelors in fields like Archaeology, Literature, Religion and Environmental Science. I'd take 'em in spite of having to write essays again, for those are a fun stress that is ultimately not worth stressing over in life. Rather essays than a real job.

Shrimpica Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) If i won lottery i would give ~70% to my family, donate 5% of it or something and enjoy my life with the rest 25% xD Edited June 18, 2020 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I just wanna enjoy life doing things that I want to do. That's the only dream for the future I have.

What do you do for students who are in their final year? Do they just graduate early or ar they grouped in with the students of the previous year? I looked it up earlier and I legit couldn't find answers to your question (shows how much of a mess that was). I graduated under the old system (thank god). Just one correction on a thing I got wrong: the new system is called G-8 instead of G-9. G-9 is what we previously used. 21 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Same. Cut all contacts, everything.

But my god, is it hard xD Then again, the most interesting stuff is usually the hardest *Theory of relativity intensifies* I'm rather intrigued by the theory that all of us are basically stardust, myself. Perhaps that is the reason we look to the sky and dream of space travel: the atoms and molecules that comprise us "remember" their old home among the stars, so they give us the subconscious longing and drive to go back to where we came from. That's the kind of stuff I think about whenever I look at the stars or read about them. It's silly, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
