That's it, I never want to hear about either the Millennium Problems or Ronald Reagan ever again. *falls over*

Next up: literary merit/genre and the Miracle on Ice. And then the school year will be OVER.

I'm just...going to write more fic now.

I've found that, having not done math in three years, I can't even do basic Algebra anymore. It's really a skill that you have to keep up with. I tried to help my sister with some of her homework this past year, and I just couldn't do it, at all, even though I used to be able to do differential calc and advanced trig.

You can barely do basic math when you're in advanced math; it's why taking standardized tests sucks, because you can't remember anything remotely helpful. Like subtraction.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. You're so busy thinking "okay, the exponential factor of X to the Nth power, times infinity...", and then they throw "x + y = y + 2" at you and your brain dies.

They throw 1 + 1 = ? at me and I go, "1?"

Have you ever seen the Dexter's Lab episode where Dexter is asked what the answer to 2 + 2 is, and he goes on this entire huge ramble about really advanced math, and finally comes up with 5?

Yeah, that's what I felt like, in high school math.

That's how I feel now. Ask me what the square of 98 is and I can tell you, but 1 + 1? Seriously, harder than it should be.

Hee!

Try feeling what it's like when you've been out of high school *18* years! I look at the math you kidlets are doing today and want to go running off screaming!

I hate math :(

I look at the math I'm doing in school today and want to run off screaming.

...oh, wait, that was the calc AP test.
