Thanks :)
I suppose it isn't to the point of disgust, but I still don't seem to have as much success as I'd like.
Yeah, we all don't.

anyone who wants to calculate what percentage they'll need to get on the midterm to achieve a certain grade can download this. enter your first and second quarter grades and it'll give you what percentage you need to score on your midterm exam to get a C-,C,C+ through A+.
the calculation assumes the following:
-the midterm is worth 20% of the semester grade, and each quarter is 40%
-the grading scale is as follows:
A+: 97.5
A  : 92.5
A- : 89.5
B+: 86.5
B  : 82.5
B- : 79.5
C+: 76.5
C  : 72.5
C- : 69.5

Oh, no need to download anything, it is a simple enough equation:
Given that grade=current(valueofgrade) + exam(valueofexam)
We can plug in the known values, where grade is what you want, and solve for exam.  For example, if you want an 85%, and the final is worth 20%, and your current grade is 72%:
85=72(.8)+Exam(.2)
Just solve for exam.

yeah... i made that program for a friend of mine. it's more convenient to type in 93 and 96 as your quarter percentages than 5 * (92.5 - (93 * .4 + 96 * .4)) to figure out what % you need to get on your midterm to get an A. just posting it here if anyone else wanted to try it out.

When Minecraft is down, can you still play on third-party servers? ???

Yes, that should be possible.

No, I don't think you can play on 3rd party servers (I tried). I think it has to connect to Minecraft.net before allowing you on, and since it can't do that, you can't play.

That sucks. They really should do something about this: allow people to connect on the server but maybe force them to have  a certain version or higher.

Keep GPD above 4.0, including APLAC, AP World History, and Pre-Calc.
Keep up with all my band stuff (Band, Jazz Band, Pep Band, another Pep Band, Quartet, Quintet, Solo, and semi-professional Jazz Band, the N'Harmonics).
Stay active on Omni, my email, and my Facebook.

Think about my other projects (Elmgon!).

Oh, jeez, I'm not even going to bother with facebook. That'll slow me down to much and keep me inactive elsewhere.
