woooohooooo! i passed college algebra with a solid B! yay!!!!!! i am so awesome :D
math is not my thing. i've never had to work hard for grades if i wanted them...most things come naturally easy to me, and, not to sound vain, i'm a pretty intelligent person. however, math doesn't fall under that rule.
as far back as i can remember having to do math in school, i can remember having great difficulties with it. i could always do the adding and subtracting, that was never an issue since my dad had begun to teach me that when i was about 2. however, in third grade we had to learn the multiplication tables. and you know in elementary school, there was always some way of measuring students against each other, whether it be by gold star stickers or getting to choose the book at reading time...well, in third grade, when it came to doing these math problems, we had construction paper cut out ice cream cones and ice cream scoops. the point was that we would have timed tests over a certain number, and whomever finished their test in the given amount of time, and got all the answers correct, would then get a scoop of ice cream on their cone, and once everyone had ten scoops of ice cream, we got to have a real ice cream party.
guess who was the last one to get all ten scoops...yeah...me.
i had never failed at anything up to this point in my life, and while most people probably don't remember a lot about their elementary school years, for me, that moment sticks out like a big sore thumb.
so anyways...this post suddenly turned into a downer, which it wasn't meant to be at all. the whole point of this post was to say that i have finally beaten math, and in the preverbial sense, gotten all ten scoops of ice cream on my little construction paper cut out cone. and i did it all in one month in a summer class. what does this mean? ice cream party for e!!! or rather, sushi party, seeing as how i'm not 8 anymore ;)

oh, i saw superman returns last nite.
i am still much too angry to even discuss it in depth right now, so i will leave that for another post.
ok, later!
