Well, I just got back from taking the fourth exam in my algebra class. Covering three chapters, there were three systems of equations problems to corrospond to chapter 4, and the rest was all factoring stuff from chapters 6 and 7. Definitely the hardest stuff introduced in the class so far, and I think it's also going to be the last new material presented. The week after next is finals week, so I think this coming week is just going to be review for the final.
I'm pretty sure I aced the test, though. I double checked all of my answers and everything looked okay to me, so unless I made some heinous error in how I was doing a certain type of problem, I don't think I have anything to worry about. I got everything correct on exam #3, so I'm hoping to start a personal trend, heh. And if I the instructor ends up taking two point off of the "out off" total like he did last time, and I did get everything right, it should bring my total exam score up to 100%. (I missed four points over the first two exams, and got two more than the final total for the third exam, so if I can get two more extra, it'll even out).

I've gotten into F-Zero GX again, and I'm finding it just as fun as when I first bought the game. For how good it is, it seems like F-Zero GX recieved very little notice. Maybe I just wasn't keeping up with the news, but it seemed to me like it was sort of overshadowed by the impending release of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! a couple months later.
Whatever the case, F-Zero GX has become my favorite one player racing game. The multi-player can't compare to the Mario Kart series, but dang is the grand prix mode awesome. And I don't care what people say, the difficulty level is just right; if you can't cut it in Master Class, play on a lower difficulty, but don't whine about the game being too hard. Master Class is meant to push you to the limit of your ability not only for racing, but also for bashing the crap out of your opponents. Taking out your main rival for at least one of the races is a big key to winning.
Something that's really added more fun to the game is the wide variety of machines available, though. Whereas when I first started I played mainly on the Deepclaw, I'm now branching out and playing on other machines. Despite its E body rating, I've found I'm quite good on the Little Wyvern, with its B boost and B grip ratings. And it's about 500 Kg heavier than the Deepclaw (about 1300 Kg total), so it makes bashing people that much more effective, heh. You just have to be careful that you're the one doing the bashing, though; you take a lot of damage if you get hit, with that E body rating. (In other words, stay the heck away from that aggressive biatch Deathborn).
I just wish the game had a LAN mode for playing two player grand prix, though. I can see why they didn't include a split-screen grand prix mode, since it'd be hard to see everything going on with only half a screen (it's hard enough in multiplayer vs. matches where it's only you and three other racers), but a LAN mode would have been perfect for that. That, really, is my biggest complaint about the game. Teaming up with a friend in grand prix and totally bashing the crap out of everyone else would've been awesome.
