You would be shocked what the marketing world does to you.
I was flipping through my summer packet for AP Statistics, and going giving it only a perfunctary glance, I have so far learned that companies often do not draw their pie graphs to scale and that when you tilt a pie graph, give it some depth, and separate the wedges, it is not only "pretty" (quote from the text), but it is impossible to tell just how big the wedges are, even if they are to scale.
So, in conclusion, do not trust pie graphs unless they are flat, whole, parallel to your face, and known to be to scale. Unless there's more treachery to discover upon actually reading the packet.
I feel a lot better today, sorry about the other day's rant. It looks a lot better from here.
My acne was fine, it was just that my face was peeling and red from sun; having finished bombing my English poem, I have only my tuning chart left; my friend's parents are giving it another go; I got some sleep last night; I got a haircut; the temperature will be down to 60 by Thursday.
All of these things are temporary, as my acne will flare up again, I still have a ton of summer work, her parents will probably separate later when they aren't so freaked out by my friend being so upset, I've still got finals to keep me up, my hair will grow out, and it'll get hot again by the weekend. But I feel better right now.
My teachers are all cop-outs by now. WIthout cop-outs, a student can't read 60 pages of Gone with the Wind in a single school day.
I had some quiet house today, so I watched Two Weeks Notice, as it was on TV. It was okay, mostly because I like Sandra Bullock and I was in the mood for a chick flick. Then I pulled all the tiny little anime pictures off the walls so I don't have to keep collecting them off the floor. Inuyasha, the ALA, Chad Michael Murray (Tea puts him back when he comes down, so I give up), Darth Vader, and my favorite, The Illustated Head, my phrenology poster, stayed up, though.
But seriously, how old is Hugh Grant by now? He looked very funny with his hair all kerploo because he has to be older than the character ...
I need to go find all my favorite comics and stuff again and get them up on my walls. And a large picture of Puss in Boots. He always makes me happy. Antonio Banderas hacking up a hairball ...
