I hate that the first time I'm writing anything on here I'm talking about school, but at the moment I'm just completely bummed out. I pretty sure I just royally screwed myself on the Math test I just took and I can't talk to anyone about it because they will say the things I'm already thinking. Urgh...I hate math. I know it's necessary but in my field I'm truly not going to use it and it just frustrates me that I'm having to take and pay for something I'm not going to use. So now here is a rant about math.
Dear math,
Do you know how much I loathe you? How much I despise you? Well let me give you a taste of how I'm feeling. I will never need to know the probability of Timmy eating 34 candy bars because I'm willing to bet his mother will stop him or he'll go into diabetic shock thus I will be worried about getting him to the hospital. I don't need to know how many marbles will come out of 14 if I draw one out without replacing it. Chances are with my attention span I will dump all the marbles out and examine their pretty colors and then begin tossing them at my friends just to annoy them. I do not need to know the proportions of people that Passed and were Suspended, Were boys, suspended, and passed, that 48 girls didn't get suspended or that 10 boys passed. I won't need to know this because none of my children will be in danger of getting suspended or failing because they will know my wrath if such were to happen. I get it. I need you but why don't you try teaching me something I will actually use in college, like how to balance a check book, how to find out how much my mortgage will cost if I buy a house or car. Or maybe perhaps how to stay out of debt because lord knows college students need to stay out of debt, but no. Instead I'm learning about permutations and combinations which really? When in life am I ever going to ask the question, there are 400 kids in band and only 9 members allowed on the council, three of which are Drum Major, Ass. Drum Major, and Band Sweetheart. The DM MUST be a boy and the BS MUST be a girl. The six other members can be boy or girl. Find how many combinations there can be. Seriously?! Urgh...
Okay. I'm done. I feel better now.
Once again sorry to any of you that stumble across this very unhappy letter to Math but I'm just not having a good day. Perhaps later I will write about fluffy bunnies or rainbows or unicorns but right now I just really, really, loathe math.
That is all.
