So...my sophomore year just started this last Monday...and like...I'm already having mental breakdowns... o-eee

Every year so far since pre-school, I barely studied and basically bs'd everything my entire school-life and made easy A's and a couple of B's in math here and there...

BUT THIS YEAR IS LIKE...ZOMGWTFBBQWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...

I'm taking 2 AP classes, 3 honors classes, and the ones that aren't either of those are tech classes... (considering I go to a tech school and all...)

I have like 50,000 pounds of homework and the one thing that I barely understand (and probably need a tutor in) is Algebra 2...just looking at it makes me go brain-dead. Me + #'s + Multiple Variables = NONO.

AND OH JEEBUZ DON'T GET ME STARTED ON CHEMISTRY...My teacher treats us all like kindergarteners, and in class I feel like one, too, from the way she speaks to us...but then her homework is like...WHATTTTTTTTTTTT... O_O...HER HOMEWORK TAKES UP 25,000 OF THAT 50,000 POUNDS AND IS SOMEWHAT CONFUSING...

Anyway, because of all that crap above...I HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK ON MABI...RIIIIIIGHT WHEN I GET COUNCIL POSITION... *is currently crying on the inside* I'll still be active on the forums but ZOMG I FEEL LIKE SOME DUDE TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING... o-eee This is the first week in over a year I have not logged onto Mabi...

ANDDDDDD...my mother is like checking up on me like every 30 minutes to make sure I don't log on...She basically blames Mabinogi for every stupid moment I have.

Example: *doesn't understand some algebraic formula and complains* Mom then says, "OH! THAT MABINOGI STUFF IS GETTING TO YOUR BRAIN! YOU NEED TO STUDY MORE! BLAH BLAH BLAH ETC ETC."

Thus, basically translates to: Charlee, you are a dumb-shit who is addicted to gaming. Stop playing games completely, and start studying at least 6 hours a day so you can become successful like your older cousin, Raprap, who is already starting to get rich and amazing due to his love of chemistry OR your little cousin whom I adore much more than you who is only in 7th grade...

I mean, REALLY?! Why is it always that ONE year that makes everything in a person's life hell?

Anyone got any tips as to how to make life easier? Help a brudduh out, yo.

Thanks for listening to my Poofy-Rant and have a nice day! :>

P.S. For anyone curious as to how the hell I'm spending my time now, here is a list:
- Still drowning myself in manga until my mother protests even MORE. *enjoying it until that gets bitched away from me, too*
- Studying...yes...Studying...yay...
- Doing homework + optional assignments. (It's been one week and I'm already failing some of my classes! YIPEE!)
- Actually WATCHING television programs... (Seriously, who needs TV when you have Mabinogi...LOL.)
- Facebook
- Using my school laptop so that I won't get tempted with personal laptop... (YAY FOR $600 LAPTOP SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM LETTING DUST BUNNIES HAVE A PLACE TO CALL HOME!)
- STRESSING OUT. (I FREAKING LOST WEIGHT FROM DOING NOTHING BUT STRESSING...Yet...I DIDN'T LOSE WEIGHT FROM DOING JUST NOTHING [Not that I needed to in the first place xD!]...THE WORLD MAKES NO SENSE!)
- About to eat a yummy steak and cheese sub for breakfast! 8D (Cheesy, meaty subs always make people feel better...unless you are lactose-intelorant...or a vegetarian...)

In calculus, a single line on one of those 50,000 lbs. can mean a half to a whole page of work. How should I feel?! XD and my break is still going on for 3 more weeks :D
SO SOMEONE FIX MY DAMN MODEM SO I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY ._.

I got a B in Algebra 2, so I could probably help. If I can remember.
Of course, the worst math for me was 8th grade, but only because I had an awful (awful as in mean) teacher. I think he liked to see me suffer. Also, 8th grade was when I was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes, and most of my teachers welcomed me back with open arms. My math teacher was the only one that didn't, and acted as if I had never left the classroom. And he also berated me for not asking what the homework assignments were from the days I was absent. I didn't ask, cause my other teachers were kind enough to tell me the stuff I missed, not to mention I was hospitalized for 3 days.
But I heard that he retired shortly after. I think they should've fired him, and they should've blasted him back to his farm-home, since he was a balding ass-hole.

when you were learning quadratics...did your teacher do this:
Factor: x^4 - 15x^2 + 9
Factor: ( x^2 - 3x )( x^2 - 3x - 2 ) - 8
..since my teacher stuck those things on the test and we were like . . .
well...now I know how to solve them but back then, those were BLEH

"Fun" Question:
How many ways can one move from (0,0,0) to (10,10,10) if you can only move
<0,0,1> <0,1,0> or <1,0,0> at a time.
[you can only add 1 to either the x, y or z coordinate at a time]
... ._.

btw...answer to the "Fun" question was 30!/(10!)^3
[30 Factorial over the cube of 10 factorial]

Explanation:
Quote:
The question asks for the number of paths following the x, y, or z axis...from the origin to (10,10,10)...
For the problem, you can only add 1 to x, y, or z at a time so ...
let a = add 1 to x
let b = add 1 to y
let c = add 1 to z

Since you can only do one at a time, the problem would be restated as...
How many ways can you order 10A's, 10B's, and 10C's?
If you remembered how to do the classic Mississippi problem...
the answer would be the [number of items being ordered] factorial divided by the number of repeating items factorial...in this case, a repeats 10 times, b repeats 10 times and c repeats 10 times...
That gives us 30!/(10!)(10!)(10!) or 30!/(10!)^3

Sorry for those of you that don't know about factorials since if you didn't, there would've been no way for you to get this unless you... list everything out and somehow got the same answer.

I got a "fun" math question for you! This took me awhile to figure out. =P

Solve the following sequence!

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221

Alright I'm doing it right now ._.
Well... it seems the pattern isn't a quadratic or cubic...but if it is, f(2) is a point where dy/dx = 0 ._. [slope of tangent line = 0]
Also given the rapid increases, I think it's likely to be a pattern concerning the digits... I can't say for sure though XD

Woah Poofs, that's quite a rant. Didn't expect it since so far I normally see a calm/well not calm but mellow Poofs..

Important thing to remember: It's just high school, Sweetie. Take a deep breath and step away from the computer and do something constructive if you need to blow some steam. I.E. I used to be in the Varsity Cross Country team and the Varsity Softball team. You would think it was stressful along with school but I don't know...Being able to hit stuff with a bat really clears the system.

Also to remember: I'ma be blunt with you. Sophomore year sucks. No denying it. My theory on this is that nothing exciting happens that year. Where I went to high school, the freshman were hated, but got it easy because they were "greenies" and they had a reason to be retarded. Junior year, you could actually drive without a parent, so you got to do some crazy shit and not get caught. Plus, you got your high school ring, one of my own most emotional memories in Freshman-Junior years. Senior year, you're the boss, and there are countless good things about senior year that I can't even describe. Sophomore year...it's just there to fill some space. You do get your car and permit...But with that parent there telling ya how to drive....Ain't worth it. Plus, in academics and sports...Any excuse to mess up is down the drain and there are no excuses.

Yahni's Solutions: It appears you're looking at the whole of things. If that's so, stop it right now. You're freaking yourself out and probably don't know how you're going to get through the year alive. Make a list, and look at only the first uncompleted task on the list. Finish it. Then go to the next one. And so on. 5 hr energy drinks- God sent, but taste like shit. I was addicted to these as I lost a lot of sleep in high school.

I was also in high programs. Freshman-Senior year I was in the IB program. Which means I was in all the accelerated/highest classes. In short, I only took a semester of Algebra 2~my first semester in high school. Sophomore year was trig, junior year was calculus, and senior year was focused on getting a 7 on the IB exam. If you feel overwhelmed on any homework you can add me on MSN: yahni_rawr@hotmail.com or, if you have skype: yahneh. Skype is more prefered because I like to talk, not type (can't tell from this response, can you?) and I can help you out through your homework.

I was the Queen of Procrastination. Trust me, no one procrastinated as much as I did. Or ever could. It will KILL you in the long run. Find someone you know, and call them to help you get in gear. Some previous (and genius) people were my anchors to keep me from Procrastinating, and that's how I solved that problem.

I think I covered everything....If I didn't let me know.

Nyahhh! Thank you Yahni, but I already have 10000000000 people offering to help, lmao. It's super totally awesome to know you have people who care about you. It means a lot, Yahni. I'll be sure to add you if everyone else is a failsap. (Heheh...Sap joke ;) Thanks again! (also, thank you Linkiepoo and Kouta!)

Also, I wouldddd try to lay off the comp...but the school lends us laptops for a reason... xD We needa use our "First-Class" e-mail + "Black Board" a lot.

Annnnnd, I'm trying not to think about everything in whole, but zomggg so much to do o-e...and parents MOM keeps nagging me T_T andddd friends' parents + my best friend keeps nagging me about getting my Driver's permit which I should have done 8 months ago... >_> (I don't feel like driving...) And I just have so much to worry about and very little time to relax x.x I miss my procrastinating, non-caring ways... >3<!

As for Blood and Cy...NO NUMBERS...PLEASE T_T

Alright, I recently made a post about this subject.

To the guild:

School its one priority and if you focus on doing your homework first you will have time to play mabi later, but if you drown yourself doing lots of things you wont be able to do well neither in school or on the house with your parents.

The good thing about forums is that you can let people know about your troubles and preoccupations (not what this forum it's about) but we are still people with responsibilities and can offer each other help.

I am studying Civil Engineering and I have pass all my Math classes such like:
Algebra I, II, III (adv) , Pre-calculus I, II, calculus I, II, III and IV, Linear Algebra, Numerical analysis and Differential Equation.

Add all Chemistry and Physics, Statics and Dynamics.

Plus I am a MATH TUTOR at my University.

I am not feeding my personal ego on this, but I need to learn this to be a Engineer and I have learn how to organize myself threw the years and make priorities in life.

So my advise to you guys is you can be active on mabi, but don't be to eager to play if you have a ton of work to do. Do what's important first, deal with it and I am sure you will find time to play, also if you make it a habit, it will come in handy for the rest of your life.

So let me know, if you have doubts on your math subjects, you can my messenger or skype address, but let me know first before adding me via pm threw the forum

Messenger : eldude94@hotmail.com
Skype name: Jehuty

Totally stole my thunder, Jehuty, way to go. >:

And don't worry about it, Poofs. Don't have to, it was just a suggestion. And sometimes it's important to know you're loved.

Oh, I knew I forgot something. Poofs, if you can't handle mabinogi/Council, you are more than welcome to step down, if needed. Like Jehuty said, school/life in general, is far more important than mabinogi. We would all understand if you needed to take a break. (And if they didn't, I'd beat them up.) Of course, that doesn't mean just run off and quit everything you do besides school, but if the pressure is too much, I do advise you to take a break from mabinogi.
