That's me in Algebra 2 class. Unfortunately I don't have Kerm's luxury in that I HAVE to take Algebra 2 Maybe next year I'll feel like I'm actually in an honors class, or I'll just take AP Stats.

I <3 being in calc II and having done calc III over a year ago.

Back to my birthday...

Okay, so I went to Outback Steakhouse yesterday to eat, and my experience was not a positive one.

First, I ordered a *non-alcoholic* beer, and they wouldn't sell it to me, so I was like WTF?...I think it's the same problem when I tried to order the wine marinated steak at another restaurant...although there may be no alcohol in it, if it says *beer* or *wine*, minors can't buy it...so I had to order a soda :angry: Then I ordered my dinner, and of course that had stipulations on it (at this point I'm rather aggrivated), so when my dinner finally arrived (late, and slightly cold), I had this tiny-a steak, with a VERY small potatoe on it. I ate the meal, and it did not taste all that good...dammit I cook better than that On top of all of this, there are NO bathrooms in that place, and I did not feel like I was in Australia...Overall, I would not eat there again :angry:

the outback here is great....(and it has bathrooms )

I've never gone to Outback Steakhouse; don't know of any in NYC. Sounds like it's not "no rules, just right" as they claim.

they are not too bad here

I'd say the only restaurant that's really worth going to around here would be Applebee's

Haven't gone there either - we miss out on fast food in NYC.

uh...outback and applebees aren't fast food....

and I though NYC had more fastfood per square mile than any where else in the world

Well, they do...but they're mostly McDonald's THEY'RE ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Well, our fast food is more non-chain fast food: burger joints, greek cafes, chinese restaurants, and korean delis.

Well, that too...but there are a ton of McD's all over the place

'tare indeed a fair number of them. Like the one across the street from my school.

I have an infestation of Burger King's and Wendy's's...

Strangly enough, McDs far outnumber Wendys and Burger King around here.

Here in the RTP general area, we have plazas that are fairly spaced out, and I swear there's a different fast food joint in every one of them

Plaza ~ mall?
What's RTP?

Plaza = large walk-around shopping center
RTP = Research Triangle Park (It's the area in between the three major universities down here where there are a lot of research corporations)
