Math

I sit here recently discovering why math geeks make so much freakin’ money. I am not a math geek and will NEVER qualify as a math geek. I am more like a math loser.

I sit here fearing my whole push towards a college degree drifts in the breeze because of TRIGONOMETRY. My brain doesn’t see Trigonometry as the “geeks” see it. My brain sees confusion, bewilderment and panic while “they” see “Oh yeah, what idiot wouldn’t get this?”

I sit here realizing most degrees with a chance of making decent money require higher math. It makes total sense but that realization quickly pisses me right off when I see a certain “class” remaining on my schedule.

I know everybody has their horror story of a dreaded class, professor or both. Everybody recalls the time when they had to spend an additional lifetime on ONE subject.

Look, college (for most of us) is not easy. I know and appreciate that. I’m also waiting for universities across the nation to amend their math requirements. Maybe I should start a petition.
