Oh I see. Creating a post through the add post page now redirects you to that post.

It always did for me...

Ah, the link works now, Apple.

And it's... odd.

In other news, I was looking at the Stack Overflow rankings, and discovered that there's a user named OMG Ponies. The interesting part is that their account is 3 years and 7 months old, meaning that it predates Fi M.

It's a dancing pony!

It's moonwalking!

The big I really loled at was it going past the horse with a big grin on it's face.

So... I barely managed to pass the class I was struggling with. My final grade was a C+.

This is what I spent my morning embroidering◊. Its not hard to guess what Im up to.

I broke my vow to not buy any more pony toys... and bought the two pack that has Luna and Rarity in it. Luna's hair makes me mad because they put Mylar strips in it and they are all sortsa staticy....

TARDY!

Luchadore!

That's not that close to failing, Turtle. I once passed a class by 2 or 3 percent! And there were people in that class who got even closer to failing than I did. People who were actually better at the subject than me, interestingly.

Its close to failing for me. I usually consider anything below a B bad... I'm usually so much better than that! This is always a subject I have struggled with though... so I guess I should be happy with the C+!

I know several other students did not pass at all...and have to take it again this summer.

I cant afford to fail... this was one of the last 2 classes I needed to take to get my degree... sooo close!

Indeed! Good study or no good study, there are some classes that'll just trip you up. I was, with a few exception, all As and Bs through college... except that one course.

Well played

Nice embroidery, Turtle.

I've currently got the lowest grades in my easiest class.

I'm doing pretty well this semester. I'm retaking a class I got a D+ in and now I have an 88.8% so far.

@Turtle: I'm going to second Kegisak. There's always at least one course that you just don't get. For me, it was math; I literally only passed by final calculus exam by a two point margin (there was more than one question where I literally just wrote "I have no idea") and I barely managed a C.

Luna's hair makes me mad because they put Mylar strips in it and they are all sortsa staticy....

Can the strips be removed?

I think I get the basis of the subject. They tend to teach the basic stuff but then they test on Trivia... annoys the crap out of me.

If you don't mention something in a lecture or assignment... don't expect me to know something that is listed in the caption on an image in a textbook.

@Syd - I probably could cut them out if I did it very carefully. The mane looks very nice with them in it they just go all over the damned place. Maybe it wont be as crazy when we can open some windows and get some nice moist spring air in the house. So dry inside right now I get nosebleeds at night (And not allowed to use a humidifier lest I destroy his precious whatevers... )

Yeah the class I got the lowest grade in throughout college was a completely generic chem lab run by a power-tripping TA. One who red-penned in the words "What the hell?! Where's your answer?!"...approximately two inches above where I gave my answer in bold font.

I barely passed my Math class last semester. Luckily it was the only math class I had to take for my major so I don't have to take it again. I think I'm doing pretty well, though.

I do still have a good deal of homework to do over the weekend, though. Most of it isn't really that hard but I do get loaded down with work a lot.

I had a high school history teacher whose idea of "teaching" was to stand with his back to us and copy from the history book onto the chalkboard. We, in turn, copied what he wrote into our notebooks. So it went every school day for the entire year. I got to know every hair on the back of his head.

My microeconomics Professor was like that in Freshman year of college (first try)

My Texas History teacher in junior (yes, we have a history class for just the state) just wrote a bunch of stuff on the board, when he wasn't showing us old western movies. Basically it was just "write these things on the board, read the pages in the book."

It was a very quiet class...

Also, I think I've found my first Ironic Name thing in a comic. You guys remember that one that I showed you a while ago, with the unicorn named White Knight? He's being very un-chivalrous right now XD

I remember my high school biology teacher would have us study the answer key to a test, "accidentally" leave the key on the overhead, and give us the test. Then made us watch Biodome.

He gave enough extra credit that I had well over 150%. The class average was somewhere in the 30's. Also one of the kids tried to sell the teacher some pot.
