Ieono Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 A Jo2uke Higashikata cosplay outfit, A Ghiren Zabi cosplay uniform, and a Masei 610 Zaku helmet. Also, some PG gunpla sets would be awesome. Maybe even a really cool fursuit, too. Oh, and a really cool "Normal suit"-like race suit would be cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I began on a score of 26% in maths and felt like I was unable to understand most of the course content. However, with considerable effort, I worked my way up to a score of 80% by the time I reached exams, such that maths was my best subject. I devoted 50% of my free time to learning maths and studied for 12 hours each day in the month before exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did...but I guess its partly my fault because I intentionally avoided higher level mathematics out of fear. I took Geometry one year so I didnt have to go the next level up as quickly. My last class was college algebra which I hardly passed anyways (D). I did end up devoting an exhausting amount of time attempting to study while still trying to have free time...but...I just sucked so bad still. I hate that I can work so hard, waste time and energy which I can and want to spend elsewhere, only to ge little result. I think after going in several times I should just know my weakesses, call it quits, and do something else. I dont have the money to keep failing school and Im wasting precious time in life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, that air force hat has quite an unappealing color scheme (which is why I like the army ones more), but if you want bling and shear garishness, you can't beat the Soviets (this is a air force general's cap): In other news, I was just looking at surplus, and found a really cool store on Etsy, with many things I want to buy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChevaldeGuerre?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_items 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seriously it's actually not that bad when you think about. You get up nice and early in the morning while you're still ready to work. You ride in the big rig of bags of trash, collecting the things other people really want to get rid of and you just help make life easier. If you can figure out how to stay good looking and try to not smell bad then it should be fine. The pay isn't the best in the world but it isn't the worst either. There shouldn't be heavy requirements to get started. I hear most people that do it say it isn't bad. Look into it, it might suit you! Don't take this the wrong way I'm not calling you trash. Sorry if this was offensive somehow.

LazerMaster5 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I really want a hard copy of this album. Of course, finding a 2009 reissue of an album from a band that is not in the least bit mainstream is no easy task.
