Well we're not really going to be stuck driving only during rushhour so factoring that in... 

 

Oh well. We'll see what happens when the time comes.

if you ever do drive inland from the coast, just keep in mind to avoid interstates 580, 680, and 880 between the hours of 2-6PM. traffic is MAJOR during those times. but other than that, it's pretty smooth outside those times. just keep that in mind. traffic during those times can make a 30 minute commute take close to 2 hours.

I had a pair of DC's once too. Really comfortable for the duration of three whole hours that i had them. 

Bought them. Went home to the farm we used to own. Went into the garage and failed to notice the angle grinder my dad had on the floor next to him as he was working on his backhoe. Zzzzzzzzt. Three stitches and another trip to the store  

Word of warning. Never bring it to work. It will get stolen. 

Yeah I wore DCs exclusively for about 7 years. Love them, but a bit pricy

We'll see what's up. Its pretty rough. Need to go to Seattle, Kirkland, Bothel, Mill Creek, going to go see the Detroit Auto Museum, Looking at seeing @RevoltTrain might meetup with @Darkman maybe, on the way there I'd like to see the Arch in St. Louis, then down to Columbus, then up to Maine to see the first sunrise, then down the east coast, to Miami, then might meetup with @bcredeur97 if he's up for it, no pressure, then across Texas to the 4 corners, through Vegas, to see the strip, no gambling just driving though to see it. Maybe watch some of the dancers in the windows for a few min. I'd like to see the Hoover Dam, then to LA, then up the coast highway, back to Oregon.

Sweet thanks man. Won't overstay the welcome though.

That's what friends are for

I would but

A) the seat recliner levers are broken (on litteraly every S10 ever. That's another pro for either Camaro or Cavi seat swaps)

and

B) if the seat recliner levers did work, the sub box is in the way  

I highly doubt it would be easy to make them fit. But both 4th Gen and 5th Gen Prelude seats are pretty close to bucket seats. I'm sure there are of course other OEM seats that would work very well and be near buckets like the Prelude seats, just the ones that came to mind for me

man, i seriously hate honors precalculus. like it's a shitload of work. i'm struggling so bad on analytic trig right now. this homework is killing me. like this is the solution to one of the homework problems i had to do. 

 

fuck this shit, honestly.

if calculus is any easier than precalc, i'm up for it. i'm not down for this shit at all.

Actual calculus is way harder than precalc. Precalc is just basic calculus concepts.

ah shit, and i signed up to do ap calculus ab. fuck me. on top of that, i'm taking ap physics, ap english, and ap government (kinda iffy on that one). my senior year is about to be a whole lotta fucked up.

RIP you, there's a reason why I didn't take AP classes my senior year.

i have friends who completely aced math in high school then got to calculus in college and made C's in calculus one, struggling the entire time, and some of them even failed calc 2 and changed their major because of it lol

 

not to make you feel any worse @terrytek.. i know it's AP but you're still in HS so you can maybe get everyone to beg for mercy and it'll all work out LOL

well i gotta make up for all the times i bombed the ap test (which in most cases was my only ap class that year). so next year i have 3 (or 4) opportunities to pass the test and earn some credit, in addition to this year with ap us history. but idk if i should take ap government because if i fail the ap us test this year, i can take the ap gov test next year, and get the same type of credit, depending on the college i attend, but it's just a LOT of political reading, and it's only for if you really like politics, which i don't.

I barely scraped by with maths in school (Just couldn't see the point of it all) So that stuff on your homework could be incantations for throwing fireballs for all i know.

Although that is the kind of maths i was actually having more fun with. Had shit teachers and couldn't master fractions to save my life. 

Just couldn't see where the hell i'd ever use that shit in life. Equations were fun though

I was also absolutely terrible at showing my work. 

 

Now after what. 7 years? Holy shit! It's been 7 years since i got out of school!? WHAT THE FUCK!? HELP!

I've lost most of my math. Only keeping the bare minimum with the rest being stored somewhere in my head i guess.

maybe if i can pass the ap calculus AB test next year, i might be able to understand calculus BC in college, since AP calc AB is basically college level math. but with my attitude towards precalculus, i might not survive next year because of my thinking.

last year was the actual last year i actually had fun in math. algebra II was actually very fun in terms of math and learning. anything above that, i'm like fuck that. but my major requires me to learn calculus and it looks like an absolute PITA to learn tbh.

Make sure to have a dialogue with your teachers. And keep your goals in mind. Find a good motivator if you can.

(Totally not making it obvious that i want to become a teacher here eh? XD)

See now I failed my first semester of it and nearly the second because I didn't bother doing the homework almost ever. I'd set up all the problems in class and do maybe a quarter of it but when class ended I tossed it in my bag to be forgotten. I blame CoD and my laziness. Aced all the tests though, that's why teachers were usually mad at me. I rarely did bad on a test so they knew I understood the work, I just didn't give a shit about actually doing the work.

 

College level calc hasn't screwed me too hard so far.

APUSH was a ton of fun but I made my teacher livid by flunking the test. I got a solid 1, they would've given me a 0 if they could have.
