i was browsing the MIT website, and came across the application requirements. it would appear that they don't have a "special education" program for someone like me. now, i could never afford MIT, but it would have been nice to know if i even had a chance. rather depressing actually...

Meh, people use things they got as an excuse for their lack of motivation. Do something, don't whine about your problems and prop them up as a limitation. Personally, i wouldn't go to MIT because it is overpriced.
The university I went to offered me special education accomodations, but I declined. Still made it just fine.

I did not go there because they would not let me in.
Apparently they do not do media studies or flower arranging also.i
I didn't apply because my father, who had gotten his masters there, specifically dis-recommended it.
Super-competitive schools are not for everyone, even if they're willing to admit you. In fact, I'm somewhat against them "in principle." Yeah, you get an impressive diploma and an excellent education. At a price. Multiple prices, paid from different places, from your wallet to your psyche. (There was also that time I funded a scholarship. The recipient, happy to receive it, went to a "better" school than they had originally intended. And entirely disappeared before she could collect the 2nd year's worth of scholarship. 
)
And when I look at a new-graduate candidate as an employer, an MIT degree is impressive, but I'd rather hire someone from Rutgers who helped work on the Pascal compiler in their spare time, than someone that just completed coursework.
On the bright side, many MIT classes are available online (for free), these days... And other schools too; it seems that the "better" the school, the more likely that they (and their professors) will be into the whole MOOC thing.
they waint gonna let me in for a variety of reasons, but, still wouldn't be interested. (i mean, unless it was free, but i'm not doing all the work it takes to get it for free either)
We've all have been taught that for a right-angled triangle a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.
Pythagoras's theorum.
And you can prove it easily with algebra.
But Pythagoras was a Greek, and didn't know anything about algebra - that's an arab thing.
So this is how he did it - pure geometry.

The geometric Pythagorean theorem was the lesson we got after watching the Donald Duck movie.
This is the scene from the movie where you can see it:

Prior to seeing this, I thought of "squaring" just as the name for multiplying a number by itself. This is where I bridged geometry to algebra.

Although it is attributed to Pythagorus, it was know before he was around.
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e6w5GtkcGI for an unusual proof of the theorem.
Hi.
