Denver, CO - 1/04/04 - Justin Simoni, Dada Mail's lead, and only, developer found out yesterday via a letter sent through US Mail that he has passed his most recent math class, Financial Principals and Practices, a class targeting basic accounting.
Justin explains, "I am ecstatic; this is completely unprecedented. This is the first Math class I've passed since High School". Justin failed a remedial math class that didn't even involve algebra the semester before by missing too many classes and unintentionally forgot to even go to one class he was scheduled for while attending The University of Colorado, Boulder, two years ago. His last High School class, Algebra 2, level 1 was only passed with a generous amount of extra credit work was passed in at the last minute.
Justin points at the "D+" he received for Math this semester
"I got my grades in the mail, and the first thing I did was look what I received for that class, I mean, my God! what are the odds?! This is really really neat. I wasn't sure what the final outcome was going to be, but then I took the Final and boy did I feel good!"
Although the class was just another remedial math class, at an Art School no less, it does fill the vital math credits needed for Justin to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts.
"Who would have thought an almost completely self taught computer programmer would suck so bad at something like Math?! I always thought programming was just, like you know, applied math. I guess I'm an attestant to that being wrong."
"Duh everyone else."
Currently, Justin's report card is hanging on his refrigerator, next to a picture of an ex girlfriend and a photo of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's he clipped out of a Newsweek. There is an empty pizza box inside the actual refrigerator.
