I'm really enjoying being back at school. It's a little odd sometimes, since most of my classmates are about 10 years younger than me, but overall, it's nice anyway. I recently learned that I actually enjoy math - something I never would have imagined possible. As it turns out, it's much more interesting when less numbers are involved. I wonder... are people who are good at algebra any more likely to also excel at calculus...? I hope so... because it looks like I'll be taking at least one math class per quarter (plus other classes that contain math, many of which contain some form of calculus) for about the next five years (or longer).
I have a paper to write and I'm procrastinating. My teacher has chosen a rather mundane & common past experience for us to write about, in great detail. I find myself completely unable to remember my personal experience in the least little bit, so I haven't started yet. I understand the point of the assignment completely, and I will do it... but that doesn't stop me from wishing it could be about something a little more abstract. Or even a present-tense situation. I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night & now I'm trying to remember the last cut that I had? In detail?? I was kind of hoping that if I put it off long enough, I'd accidentally cut myself, and thus be able to write about it. A present-tense cut is something I can write about because it is happening *currently*. I can see it, feel it, and bypass my often hazy memory.
The last one, on the other hand, I can't even remember what it felt like... I have a terrible memory for physical pain. I suppose in a way, most of us do. If we didn't, our population would probably decrease some...
