Public Transport Malfunction

Continuation of The Hand Trick. The same weird format again. I'm bad at predicting how much space my comics will take, and too lazy to redraw everything or edit it later. So yes.

TI-83

As inspired by Pigs in Maputo's Nerdy Kid Dating comic.

Once upon a time in High Level math class, while using a TI-83 graphing calculator . . .

Salami

I was going through my yearbook from my last year in high school and I remembered this episode, which I thought was pretty funny.

I'd fallen on asphalt while chasing a friend (mature, I know) and gashed my knee sometime toward the end of the year. I was dating J at the time (who actually also tried to beat up the guy I was chasing after for some reason and had to be stopped) who, I eventually realized, was kind of an ass. Anyway, my knee looked a lot worse than it actually was--orange-red-yellow-brown and salami-esque. I was enjoying grossing my friends out, but prom was approaching and I guess J figured that taking a salami-knee date would be kind of uncool:



He also made some comment in passing on graduation day about how it's nice that I "won't have to study that hard anymore in university" because I was going to study art history.

All pretty funny anecdotes in retrospect, but really! It makes you question your sanity and self-esteem at the time.

Priorities

Good news!

In the process of looking into getting my high school diploma recognized by German unis, I found that the IB and AP diplomas are practically the only international secondary school diplomas considered an Abitur equivalent here. Meaning, I would have been screwed with just an American high school diploma. Thank goodness! I guess TOK with Mr. R was good for something . . .

Speaking of high school...

I'm so happy to be 25.

I'm so ridiculously impressed by how quickly the woman at the university wrote back (45 minutes later) and told me that all my certificates were okay. Yay!
