Now for most tests when he asks me what I got I say "err, I've forgotten". Though he knows that means he's beaten me. *sigh*

I finally beat my friend in a test. He's been beating me solidly all year so far (with one or two exceptions) but today we got our physics result, and I beat him by 3%!I know, it's tiny, but it's still a victory. I spent the rest of the day mocking him slightly, he kept reminding me of pasts tests, but nothing could knock me off me plinth.
Mocking people is great.. At our school, we must wear a black and green jumper for P.E. And there is this really poor kid, who has a dirty one with a number 12 on the back. Everyone hates him, and he looks even more an outcast wearing different clothes.. He has left now, and someone in my class forgot his kit one day.. He had to wear that number 12 top from the P.E basket. I kept on calling him "Number 12" and such.. He got really mad when I described the smells coming from what he was wearing.. His last name is Cook, I say it differently.. - Cock..

Fun, I love that. What sort of physics was it? Calculus or algebra based? Mechanics or Electromagnetic? My problem is that when I beat someone at a test, it's pure luck.

It was a density based paper. Remember, this is my first year of 'proper physics', so its quite basic stuff.

Ah. This year is also my first year of physics, but it's calculus based mechanics. The teacher is great, as he makes the class easy to understand. I actually liken him to Richard Feynman, because while he's lecturing everything makes sense, but when revising your notes it is gibberish. That class oils my gears.

It's still better than lying. Because at the end of the year you get the results back and then they find out and mock you even more.

My physics teacher is great too. He counted up my marks wrong in the test, I mean, he said I got 8 less than I did, so I took it to him, and he was like "I was obviously drunk when I marked this, sorry Matt". I laughed so much, what a legend.

That's nothing compared to my freshman chemistry teacher. He is the biggest stoner in the school. He's also a pyromaniac. Throughout that year, we burned so many things. Also, he pronounced potassium pot. assium. What a guy.

That I finished homework, got my big project organized, and just in time to watch the 500!
Speaking of which, it's already great!

Complete opposite to my chemistry teacher. She's very health & safety. The closest we've got to any big experiments is watching them on Brainiac.

Finding 47 bucks in an old work jacket that I hadn't worn since last year!
P.S. Jai, you are very cool. Does your making fun of less priveledged kids make you feel better about something else that you are lacking? Maybe you have a smaller than average, what is it, cook?

That's a Pocket Tax rebate right there. You know those nights when you go out and all the cash in your pockets 'magically' disappears. That's the Pocket Tax you have to pay whenever you have a good time.
When you find cash in old jackets/jeans/back of the sofa, that's a rebate!

It's better when you buy a 5 dollar jacket at the thrift store, look in the pocket and find a 20. Thrifty and profitable. Gear oiler.
Telling Jai off oiled my gears, however the fact that I'm probably going to get an infraction for it, not so much.

I've had money disappear from my pockets much too often! Finding it in there is a rebate I'll probably never get again!

Well, I posted yesterday that I beat my friend in a physics test. Well today I found out that I also beat him in a history test. I'm on a roll. The look on his face was classic when he found out.

axletrampWell, what are friends for if it isn't to humiliate them and grind their egos in the dirt?
Well, he has spent most of the year so far taunting me, so I thought it was only right for me to return the favour.

axletrampI'm guessing he might beat you at any spelling tests...
Nah, he's the worst speller ever. It's the auto-correct on my iPod, it has a mind of its own, changing 'so' to 'do'.

It is autocorrect. I promise.
Another gear oiler, I was browsing YouTube, and I found the below vid. It's excellent, it lifts my mood do much.
