Easy way to deal with that: The edit button (lower right of the post). Check "Delete message" once the editing window opens. A new sub-window opens; check "Delete message" (as opposed to "Do not delete message.").

Oh, and the edit button can also keep you from double-posting.

-When you told the teacher you had something you could do since you couldn't get on to the Foresight testing site in English class and even though you know she didn't mean this type of something you go on anyway.

when you are in advisory and your teacher partners you up with a freshmen and then makes you play a game where you have to draw a number of shapes, and then your partner has to draw a shape, and then you have to dictate what you have drawn to your partner, and then you start explaining how to draw the first logo. (lol for some reason my freshmen drew the logo going in like a diagonal direction.)

[mastermind12]

-When you have 2 homework assaigments due at 9:30 this morning for one class(teacher already mad) and are still posting on this thread cause you are trying to avoid doing the homework as you don't really understand it that well.
