If there was anything in school that I hated, it was math. I don't care if it was algebra, geometry or bonehead math, I hated it. Especially those stupid trains that were coming at opposite directions and you had to figure out what color the engines were, or something like that...They all required some kind of idiotic formula - which never made sense to me. Never. I barely made it through algebra in 7th grade and flunked geometry. Yep. Never even had a C and I flunked geometry. Did I mention that I hated math and all of it's convoluted formulas???Check out our boy Mo's Manic Monday for hopefully, more upbeat takes on "formula!"
I struggled with math too, but I loved statistics in college. I actually used my work place for calculating jail populations in the future, based on the past. It really worked and the numbers now are so close to my predictions. Okay, I know you hate math. Big hug and lotsa lovies honey. :)

I did ok with basic math and fractions. I did ok with freshman algebra too. But after that I sucked.
Well, I'm just certain the math gene didn't make it's way into my DNA...
I guess you could say I'm "Arithmaphobic!"
I really don't have a brain for math. I did okay with the required classes, but I never studied farther than that.
