I WANT TO BEAT TEH HELL OUT OF THE SANDBAG. HAH! Yes caps are good for this. ^_^

Quote from Maverick Aurion

you should ask for the teacher...I know you'll hate me for saying that, but tell him/her your really struggling and maybe if they could help you, or give you some extra time to catch up on the work

or as muigi said, get the hell out of that class and switch to another. like COOKING! e

Well we have these classes I can take:

Gym 2, French (highly doubt), or maybe double up in a computers course (Advanced Computers and Tech Lab).

Quote from Tywar

Never give up. You keep pushing and you keep pushing. You don't stop. If you trip, get back on your feet. You meet a block in your way, push it out. You come across a person, beat him the **** out of your way. You DON'T stop. High Shcool if the dividing line from money, life, death, and misery. Everything you do in High School will be your future. You keep pushing and in doing so block everything out. Love is mearly nothing in school. Its quite impossible, really. Odds are everyone that you see in school you will never see them agian. Don't worry about that. In case of hobbies, (which I have trouble with) you must also push gamming out of your way. It only takes your time away. Spend your time studing for tests, doing homework, and during class, don't be afraid to ask questions. Smart People ask questions. The only stupid question is the one that wasnt asked.

No one is pestering me at school. I'm not looking for relationships.

Tywar.... ****ING READ MY POST! I'm giving up because the ****ing work IS HARD!

Quote from Muigi

That seems like the best option. Either that, or you could try to get your parents to help you with the project. Hey, it's worth a shot. >>

All they tell me to do is ask the teacher.

Apparantly my great ass school doesn't allow switching. Whatever. If I can't handle it, I'll go to the alternative school and just make less money than the actual high school graduates. Whatever. As long as I am far away from that BS school.

Quote from Muigi

Actually, no, it isn't better to just give up, Amy. If you give up, you just prove to yourself that you're not ready to live on your own. How do you tend to move on in life if you just give up on everything? I learned that the hard way, and I don't want the same thing to happen to you or anyone else.

I left a message for Raziel to help you out on your work. Hopefully, he can do better to help you and calm you down than I can.

I wish I can help, but Psychology is a topic I get easily confused in. Same with Spanish. Sorry.

Raziel assisted, but since he knows shit I don't know and will probably will never even ****ing care to know about, it'll be hard as **** to do.

Example: He just sent me this Idk wtf this is:

Quote

- Key -
* - If you don't know what this means, see below that "chapter".. explinations are there.
** - If you don't know what this means, it's covered at the very end.
[-] - Negative point/Weakness
[+] - Positive point/Strength
+/- - Positive or Negative, either way it doesn't matter.

Experiment
- Scientific method (Nomothetic*)
-- Conducted in a controlled environment (lab)
-- Gives good controll of IV*, DV* and most EV's*
-- [-] Low Ecological Validity*
-- [+] Easy to replicate

* Nomothetic - Basically the posh name for "Scientific".. See Nomothetic vs Ideographic debate**
* IV - Independent Variable: The variable the researcher manipulates
* DV - Dependent Variable: The variable the researcher wishes to investigate.
* EV - Extraneous Variable: Variables except the IV that may effect the DV.
* Low Ecological Validity: Results were found in a controlled environment, and therefore it can be questioned whether
they come into effect in "real life"

"Other methods"

Survey Questionnaire
- Open-Ended Questionnaire
-- Participants are able to write their own answers
-- [-] Harder to analyse the results
-- [+] Richer, more detailed results.

- Closed Questionnaire
-- Participants only have the choices of ticking pre-designated answer boxes
-- [-] Less detailed results.
-- [+] Easier to analyse data.

Naturalistic Observation
- Often known as a Field Experiment, or Field Observation
- Non-Scientific method (Ideagraphic*)
-- Observes the participant in a non-controlled (non-lab, or FIELD) environment
-- [-] Less controll of Variables
-- [+] More natural results produced

* Ideographic - Studies based on "Ideas", not scientific fact. See Nomothetic vs Ideographic debate**

Case Study
- A in-depth investigation of an individual or a small group.
-- [-] Hard to replicate
-- [+] A good way of studying un-natural behaviour.

Correlation Research - Unfortunately.. I have no ****ing clue what this is.. at a guess
- Each participants results are correlated against each other.
-- The further away from 0, the higher the correlation (This I know is true, as is what follows)
-- +/- 0.2 : Weak Correlation
-- +/- 0.4 : Moderate Correlation
-- +/- 0.6 : Strong Correlation
-- +/- 0.8 : Very Strong Correlation
--- Anything in-between is "x to x Correlation", for example, -0.5 would be a "Moderate-to-Strong Negative Correlation"

** Nomothetic vs Ideographic debate: A debate amongst psychologists about how research should be carried out. Nomothetic,
or Scientific/Controlled gives easier replication abilities, but the results are usually deemed ecologically invalid.
Ideographic, or Non-Scientific/Field gives harder replication abilities, but the results are usually deemed to be
ecologically valid, and thus appliable to the "real world".

I don't know anything in this study. I should have just stuck to writing and drawing, nothing to complicated like government or that bullshit.

I feel sad when I try to do my work in class, and then I figure out all I've TRIED is a D or F. Seriously. I'm hanging on some ****ing D's that'll most likely be F's in the first marking period's report cards.

Psychology? HAH! I can't even understand a ****ing webquest!

Quote

Step 2. Write a one page paper in which you contrast "the experiment" with other methods of primary research used in Psychology. The cryptic "other methods" are "survey questionnaire", "naturalistic observation", "case study", and "correlational research."

WTF IS A CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH?! WTF does it do? Honestly. I have no ****ing remembrance of these terms or even wtf they do. I just can't seem to remember the 1001 terms we have just learned in the first three chapters. This is too much. I can't understand, remember, or even think about this shit since I get un-interested and I just want to ****ing bash my head until its nothing more.

Quote from Twistkill

I just did, froob.

"help a bit". I don't understand what you mean... your name change is going to scare people into obeying the rules?

No. I'm getting threatened from hacking by Chrono. Thus I have to let go of Zelda Temple (be glad that I saved the content on the site).

Quote from Muigi

Yes. So much for my "ZSS won't have a Final Smash" theory.

Off topic:
You're calling yourself Blackwing now? XD

Off-topic: See the Community thread.

On-topic:

Samus can use her whip and make it extend out and deal massive damage??

Quote from Twistkill

Hmm... well, it suits you... kinda. It's better than Shrukan, to be honest. :D

Don't you mock my baby...

Anyways I'm hoping this'll help a bit.

I've changed my name for a reason for a short time. Maybe awhile.

Quote from Muigi

Yes, apparently, the Smash Ball appears more than just once. I guess they changed it to becoming a rare item.

Oh well, just equals more insane chaos.

That means Samus can have two attacks. O_O

Well it seems the Wii is catching up surprisingly after one year of being on the shelf, and already selling nearly 11 million units.

According to Nextgenwars.com, Wii sales take up nearly 41% of the compition, Xbox 360 with 42% and PS3 with a small 17%, even after coming out 2 days before the Nintendo Wii.

I really knew that the Wii would be ahead of the Ps3 in the long run.

OMFG. I own!!. ^_^

HOLY HELL! Two Smash Balls?!

Its been over 10 days since being here...
