Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Actually, as the OP said she "got her period" i.e.; started it, the odds would be much lower. If she was regular as clockwork at 28 days per cycle, that would be 13 times a year, which means there would be a 3.6% chance the first day of a period would coincide with her birthday, meaning it happened roughly once every 28 years. Bloody statistics...

If you're into maths/science, a calculator is an extremely useful present. As for the period part, well, you either will get used to it, or you should be by now. Though if you're unlucky enough to get seriously ill each month, then I can understand why you're complaining about that.

In defense for the OP, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

What are you bitching about? Graphing calculators are expensive, someone saved you over a hundred dollars by buying you one. And you'll just have to learn to deal with the period. It happens.

TI-84s are overrated. I've used that and a $30 Casio and I'll take the Casio any day. My friends with TI-83/84s used to ask to borrow it after I showed them how good it was. I hear the TI-87 kicks ass, though

Was it a graphing calculator? I would think it'd cost more than $30 if it can graph. The TI series has a programming language you can use, and download several programs off of the Internet to play Tetris on it during your spare time. I've made some small programs on mine to speed through homework sometimes. I guess that's a little much for a calculator, but it's worth the cost if you take full advantage of it.

YDI for having a birthday. How could you be so vile. Also, when you use that calculator, make sure you don't confuse degrees and radians. We wouldn't want you back on here bitching about how you failed a trig test; it might start another pun war. Speaking of puns, #5 was awesome.

You can use the caculator to track your flow charts.

Wtb an original comment. I swear every other person says something along the lines graphing calcs are expensive, at least you're not pregnant, or stop bitching.

dear people saying the calc is exspensive: expensive present =/= thoughtful, meaningful present. op's parents should have thought of her while buying the calculator. if she dislikes math, a calc is a bad present for her. there are plently of less expensive gifts the coul have bought that would have been more meaningful. it is the thought that counts and i dont think they put in a whole lot of thought to buying the calculator.

It's possible they did. If the OP is still at school and therefore takes maths classes, she will need a calculator, the parents might simply have been trying to help her in her studies. Yes, it might not have been what she wanted, but that might be the thought they put into it. Especially if she didn't know what she did want, which is sometimes the case.
