Hey, did you ever hear the one about how many feminists it takes to change one of those? and then you just interrupt and say “that’s … …Hold on, someone’s at the door. Hello? Yes, I’m Chris, can I help… now wait a minute! why are you handcuffing… Ow! Who are you, and why… Stop hitting me! look, I know there’s no such thing as the feminist police and I’m gonna… Ow! Stop it! Help!
I’m with Ryan on this one. Math (at least in grade school) was quite easy for me. I got me a 5 on the Calculus AB AP exam. If only I could have somehow transferred that knowledge to college physics…that was a wreck.
I got me a 5 on the Calculus AB AP exam. Me, too. Couple of smarties on this thread. I remember saying multiple times during my freshman year of college, “What could you possibly do with a math degree?” I had to eat my foot when I ended up getting one. I think what I was getting at was that I was able to adapt to the way mathematics is taught quite easily, but of the few times I tried to learn knitting, I failed miserably. I don’t regret burning that “scarf”.
If they didn’t get gauge or if their stitches were sloppy or otherwise imperfect, they would be told to rip it all out and try again. Gee, that’s what my 4th grade knitting class was really like in the German public schools. Maybe that’s why I can do math, but can’t knit.
Let’s just say I wasn’t the world’s best math student. I didn’t even bother to take the AP Calculus exam because I knew I’d fail it. When I had delusions of being a scientist in college, my poor math grades didn’t improve. On the other hand, I got a 5 on both the AP American History exam and the AP English Composition exam. That, methinks, should have indicated what I ought to have done with myself. Oh, I can’t knit either. A friend of mine tried to teach me. I knitted about one-third of a blue scarf, got bored with it, and never returned.
I got a 5 on Calc, 4 on Chemistry, 4 on US History, and 3 on US Government (plus a big whopping 1 on Macroeconomics, but I blame that on a shitty teacher). Based on that, one would think that I’m a math or science major, no? I am, of course, a Political Science major with a minor in History. Back on topic, I never quite got around to learning how to knit. All my creative/art skills went to music. Also last minute paper writing.
I could list mine, but the anticlimactic conclusion is that I am indeed in a graduate science program. I’d be worried for anyone who tried to teach me how to knit, though. The whole affair would eventually devolve into a discussion on knot theory, if you know what I mean.
