    Apparently. She's right about the right age for her first heat cycle too. At least I know she's not sick. The question is, can she get pregnant now? Or is it just a little bit of tissue stimulating hormones? I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I take her to her vet.

    Did poorly on a math pretest. I am an ignorant son of a bitch.

    The average college student needs 2 math classes, and 2 English classes before entering college level Math and English classes.

    At least with CC students, I should add.

    English won't be a problem. I lack any real education in math, though. I went to a private grade school that was not a very good one- when my step-dad died I got pity-passed in math, never caught up in middle school, and in my freshman year they kicked me out of algebra because my behavior was disruptive to the class. I should add that my teacher that year ended up going to prison for fucking his students, so really all I was disrupting was his courting rituals with the girls basketball team.

    I picked up a number of books to try and bring my math skill up, but either didn't have the time or didn't make enough time to progress very far. No matter. I will learn it now.

    I just wanted you to know you weren't alone. Lots of students have that same problem. I placed into intermediate algebra myself, but got to start on college English immediately. I'm good at math, but hate it, so I often slacked big time. At least you can get started on English.

    My friends paid me to write their composition papers, so I am fairly certain I'll do alright. They did fairly well with my work, so it stands to reason that I will likewise do well with it. Of course, times change. Maybe there is a "new english" like there was a "new math".

    I've always struggled with Math, but English is just fine. If you ever need someone to read papers for you, I'll be happy to. I always share my papers with as many people as I can, and it really helps.

    Thankfully, I officially finished with English on Thursday!

    Never understood needing to take 30 years of Engrish classes. If you can't read and write papers by the time you're in college, I can see where there might be a lack of knowledge, but after that point... jesus. Why?

    I took 13 years of English. 1st grade through 12th and one year in college. Unless you're not up to college level or majoring in English, you shouldn't need more than that.
