It's in a news item so just go to the band page and you should find it on the left hand side. And yes, this was a silly argument, I'm just in a foul mood because of exams. Don't mind my curmudgeonly (sp?) behaviour.

I had finals for eighth grade yesterday, so on a very minuscule level I relate. It was for Algebra 1, the only subject I have any troubles with ever, yours? English, perhaps, because yes, you spelled cumudgeonly correctly.

indeed English... at the university level, Narrative Theory. Cool stuff, very abstract, but a pain to study for because it's not like you memorize stuff, you just get it or you don't.

I had the same reaction, then I thought maybe a different country with different grade level systems?

Finals, I don't know whether you would exactly call those exams or not; either way, yes, I do have them. I'm ace at English, like third-year college reading level (Don Quixote, Scarlet Letter, Oscar Wilde, and I understand them with ease) and apparently write (I quote) "provocative, sublime fiction." But math is one of those things I just plain dislike, not because I don't get it, because I'm an A-/B+ student, but because it's so unbreakable, you either get it or you don't, and you really can't argue it.

And yeah, I found out about Kayo Dot last year when I was eleven, but I'm starting to like Naked City more. Tzadik label=ace.


*Yeah, I live in the U.S.

^agreed, though Don Quixote and Oscar Wilde are 3rd Year College level now? They aren't particularly difficult to understand, not saying they aren't great (though Don Quixote doesn't do much for me), but really it's not all THAT difficult to grasp something like The Picture of Dorian Gray.

^^ there's this whole reading level chart for books in the library and their labeled, it says 13.3 College.Year3 for Don Quixote and 13.3 for Dorian Gray.
11.0 for Scarlet Letter though, which is weird.


And thanks for the praise.
