Oh, snap.
Our maths assignment draft is due tomorrow (the first half), and I haven't even started. Of course, we've had the assignment for three weeks already... but those were the holidays... they can't seriously expect us to do work on the holidays, I mean... if we have already had to do it before, if we had been like.. programmed to accept school work for the holidays, it wouldn't be a problem.
But they can't just make us do it with us expecting to have nice relaxing two week holidays after 10 weeks of school. I hope my teacher doesn't expect me to have the whole first half finished, 'cause all she's getting is approx. 5 questions, which I will start in a moments time =D
It's not like maths is useful anyway... what will any maths student gain from pointless assignments about timezones and the Titanic ? Will we ever have to suddenly, calculate how many hours Paris is apart from us, or the percentage of people lost in the Titanic?
Half of the things we learn in the subject we're never going to use again... I mean... Algebra, are we ever going to go into a shopping centre and walk politely to the checkout operator and say, "May I have 2x apples divided by 3y multipled by 17zx oranges?" It's completely uneccessary skills they use to put a number on us, and compare us against others in the class.
I, for one, absolutely dispise maths (if you didn't already notice), and anything related with it for various reasons. I can not, for my life, apply Pythagoras' Theorem, or Trigonometry to my daily life, unless I worked with triangles. How often is that? I'm not going to look at my desk and say, "Oh... Gee... I wonder what the angle is between the floor and my desk?"
It's a completely idiotic thing to teach if it cannot be applied in modern life.
Maybe i'm just pissed at Maths for not being easy and interesting, like english and literature. Or maybe, maths is just as pointless as I pointed out.
The only necessary skills I can see, is addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Which is taught by at least grade 4. Maybe i'm just picky.
Is anyone, really, truly, going to look at a supermarket shelf and say, "I'm going to make a cartesian plane, right here, and see which point the chips lie on."?
Nope. Grade 4 and up maths is a waste of time.
According to me, anyway.

In other news, 18 days until November 2nd... What's that? Melrose Place!
Finally, Melrose is being released on DVD... Of course, out of 32 episodes, i'm only interested in 2 (18 and 20, if my memoriy serves me correctly), in which the most awesome character in television was in (in that season, anyway, season 2-5, she was a regular and in all of them =D).
Trashy prostitute, sarcasm sultan and blackmail master Sydney Andrews, of course, played perfectly by the fabulous Laura Leighton.
<3
She has got to be the single most extremely... awesome (I've already said that...) character EVER, in ANY form of TV. Why? Because she just is. I mean... the things she says, are just... so... unique and... hilarious. Her sarcasm tops none (she's my mentor =D), and her personality is just so... great (I'm running out of words...).
I mean... not only was she an asset to the whole Melrose Place cast, but... she was the only character who could play the culprit, and then the victim so convincingly. She's the only character I even felt sorry for when something bad happened to her, and cheered when she attempted to blackmail/kill someone. If only she wasn't ran over by a car (driven by that b***h Samantha...).
The 2 seasons after that were hell without Satan's little angel. At least she was married like... 5 minutes before she was ran down... Even if it was to that boytoy Craig. Who was swiftly seduced by Jennifer (Alyssa Milano, people! ^_^) just episodes after Syd's demise.
I blame it all on Jane, Syd's sister. Well... Sort of. She was adopted, Jane, that is, but her and Syd grew up together, and thought they were sisters until like... the fourth season. Jane was always a bitch to her little sister... It wasn't until they got the fasion boutique together in season 5 that they sort of made peace.
I mean... Jane practically neglected her before that... In season 1, when Syd dropped out of college and went to visit Jane, she practically threw her out after two days. And then, when she came back in season 2 (Okay, i'll say that Jane had reason to do this), she tried to ruin her wedding. Well.. Syd was marrying her ex-husband...
But... then, then, they were friends for a little while, until Jane's new boyfriend (and business partner) started to harrass Sydney (son of a b***h *whack*) It wasn't until manly Jack saved her *clap, cheer*. Jane stopped seeing him and all was well.
THEN, Jane started going out with Richard, after Jo had broken up with him, and he raped her in... Somewhere... Los Angeles or something... So her and Syd tried to kill him =D
It didn't work, first, 'cause Jane didn't have any bullets in the gun or something.. (*snicker*) so then Syd smashed him over the head with a shovel (One of her best scenes ever).
Then, they buried him. Of course, in true soap fasion, he returned episodes later. We even saw his hand pop out from the dirt =D.
Anyway... it was only a few blackmail schemes after that and an extremely awesome job working for Peter (sarcasm king), until she died. Jane, of course, acted like she didn't even care when she found out that she died... Of course, I believe she was away for that season... (she came back in season... 6... when Michael saw her at their reunion).
The only one that was really seen to care, was Craig... And Kyle, sort of. Kyle was married when they had an affair... they still loved each other after that... you could ttttttteeeeellllll.
Meh.
She also had one of the worst deaths >.<>
Did I mention Craig committed suicide half a season after she died? XD
