eBooks are so nice, I've grabbed a few torrents of seveal gbs of books. Some of my tech books have been nice enough to come with pdf versions of their books, so helpful. I can't always get to my books, nice to keep them on my thumb drive.

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

As do I. Math teachers on the other hand.. they usually suck at teaching. My Physics teacher absolutely rocks at teaching the math involved though. :)

Math is one of those subjects where you really do need a great teacher, can ruin your entire experience with the subject if you have a bad one.

:shock: Just wondering, but isn't it kinda weird that we went from waterproof books to math teachers? :lol: :roll:
Quit procrastinating and make something awesome.

I know right... My math teacher is awesome, now I have the highest grade in the class! but science, my teacher isn't a bad one nor do I dislike her but let's just say I'm glad I stayed home today, I was supposed to get my report card and things would be bad....
