    Awesome. You're my new chauffeur. I can't STAND the traffic around here.

    Eurasian, did you ever get a license? Who needs math when you've got a car, right?

    I haven't even applied for a provisional yet. I'm planning to get a license AFTER I finish I.B.

    What?

    No, I'm not.

    Wait...what's the pay, and are there benefits?

    The pay is low, but the benefits include driving my 12-year-old Camry in some of the most random traffic on the planet with me yelling in your ear to hurry up or we'll be late.

    How could you turn that down?

    Thanks for the link. I couldn't find anything so I googled it and found info on Math Studies. Besides some advance things that I have not learned yet (basically the math theory and pricable stuff) it seems to be primary Algebra with a small portion of Geometry and Statistics.

    12 year old Camry my god, that thing must suck big time. But you may not want to hire me besides of my record. One of my friends say that being in the car when I am driving can be like riding a roller coaster. lol

    I am a little rusty, but I *might* be able to help if you post a specific problem.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    No thank you Giga, I'll have to pass.

    Jurupa: It's not that I drive slow or anything, it's hard to go the speed limit in Philly. My car is an old '87 Honda Accord, acceleration is shit, but it gets great mileage!

    However just the other day while lookin' out for an exit, I almost hardcore rear-ended this guy. Y'know when you're drivin', lookin' around, but you're concious of the car's break lights ahead of you. Well it was like that, I started hittin' the breaks as I took focus of the car ahead of me. Well turns out he wasn't breaking...he was at a full out stop. So I downshifted to 2nd gear and slammed the breaks. I might've just avoided it and pulled to the right but I never checked my mirror and didn't want to take the risk.

    Vashti - It's called I.B. Math Studies here, too. It's just a math course for badasses.

    Also, Kiechi, I think you should just practice. I used to suck at writing but be incredible at math, and after you start practicing it and maybe even enjoying it a little bit, you'll become amazing.

    I had a few close calls my self. I remeber that this woman started to pull out of a drive way into the street and I was turning from a left trun light and she pulled out in front of me. I jerked the car hard to the other side of the street (it has 2 lanes each way) and then realzing where I was I jerk the car doing a 180 power slide to the other side of the street. I didn't hit anything. The time I did get hit was when my car was parked and someone hit the side of it.

    Uh babe I ain't in math anymore, nor do I need help. If I need math help I go to my dad who took almost all levels of calculus.

    Uh, babe, I didn't mean to offer YOU help. I was offering it to Eurasian (if he can't find a tutor). I was merely working off your post saying it was primarily algebra, statistics and geometry. But in retrospect, I don't know that I remember much geometry, although I could probably be helpful with Algebra .
