Pass Algebra...Again

but didn’t make a grade high enough to get high school credit for the year. So, I took it again in 9th grade…both times I passed. :)

I am in complete and utter shock.

I passed, but only thanks to the bonus questions worth 12 points total. Without it…a big, screaming F.

Ka-BOOM!

After Professor Alderman sifts through the rubble I’ll have my score Tuesday.

I think I’m coming down with hysterical pregnancy or something. I may need to skip the test.

Professor Alderman has the appearance of being a genial African-American senior like the one in the the Pink Houses video only much younger. What he really is is a soul-sucking ex-Marine who has the ability to make 2 + 2 sound hard. In a way, he’s almost like a humorless Bill Cosby:

Now ya see, you take the two cuz that’s the number right there in the front and then ya have the two on the end, ya see? Now, since two is really two ones you can break it up, see, cuz that’s the way the kids do it today with their cell phones and the rap music. Have a pudding pop.

If this class doesn’t end soon I WILL kill myself.

My unofficial mid-term grade is a very high B. Woo hoo!

My math professor said “My name is Professor Alderman. If you can’t remember my name I will suggest to you what I suggested to my wife when I first met her: remove the ‘der’ and I’m ‘all man.’” In an attempt to replicate this for when I’m a professor I have come up with the following: if you remove the “o” from my name you have “pst,” so if you forget my name just call out “pst, Professor” and ask what my last name is.
