Forgot to add that it's about completing the square! And this is supposed to be the subject I understand in maths! This is the subject the nice guy is teaching, not Mr. Thomas (who hates me because he thinks I'm stupid. Well, guess what, Mr. Thomas? I think you're an ENORMOUS TWAT!) This is how I thought I solved it:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
so a(x + 1/2b) - 1/2b^2 +c
Now, normally when you square a minus number, it becomes positive. Well, imagine my shock and horror when I found out actually, in this equation, it doesn't become positive- so really, it should be written out like this:
a(x + 1/2b) - (1/2 b)^2 + c
DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY I AM RIGHT NOW!?
And another thing...I am now constantly being told to 'organise! prioritise! get a grip! do you think the amount of revision you are doing will get you all A/A*s?'
I am aware that I need to get into one of the top 25 universities IN THE WORLD.
I am aware that I need to catch up with my schoolwork.
I am aware that I need to do better in school.
I am aware that I need to start volunteering.
I am aware that I need to start organising the information to start my society.
I AM AWARE that it is hard to get into university, that I need to prioritise, that I need to do my homework, that I need to revise, that I need to volunteer, that I can't socialize all the time, that I will not get into the universities I want to if I don't start doing better.
I AM AWARE that most of the people in my classes are smarter than me, are doing better than me; I am aware that these are the people I am competing with and I need to do better. I am aware that I don't have that much free time anymore, and that I need to organise it better.
I am aware that I need to do better. You don't have to tell me that. I think about it all the time. I know already.
Yeah, I'll go and complete my maths now that I've ranted.
On the plus side, Fresher's was AMAZING (knees are completely shot, however), the social side of school is great! (work is a tad bit stressful) and today was lots of fun!
Also: I am not a dai tao har! One: my head is not big for my body. Two: my head is not made out of shrimp. Sorted!

Bernie, seemingly, you are a lunatic. Why do you need to get into one of the top 25 universties in the world? You want to be a dentist. It is not essential.
Secondly, how does the negative number not become positive when squared?
Stop worrying. Chill out. Try to enjoy life for five seconds. As Andy said, if you want to be a dentist, not going to Oxbridge isn't going to cripple your career aspirations (however weird they may be).
And you realise that not socialising at all is in fact detrimental to concentration levels and memory retention, right?
Oh dear.
