Math is stupid...

A short little rant about school. Math is not my thing. It used to be fun when I had nothing better to worry about, such as when I was in Junior High. I remember showing up a few minutes early to class, finishing the entire assignment for the day and the homework for the night and then being able to spend the rest of the class period making each other pass out... (Maybe that's why I don't like math anymore). Math came super easy. It actually comes pretty easy to me now if I can quiet my mind down enough to apply the processes to the equations. I think I feel guilty immersing myself in this stuff though. I mean, I understand the underlying purpose of math involves critical thinking and problem solving abilities and blah blah blah but I'm done with trying to be 'tricked' into these skills by doing things that I really could care less about now.

Again, education is extraordinarily important for so many people on all levels, but just like a fish can't be reasonably expected to climb a tree, some of us need to evaluate what we are really doing with ourselves. Do I really want to suffer through these truly rote level topics just to get to a higher level of information shared out of an outdated textbook simply to be slightly more employable at a job that I'm probably not even going to enjoy? Nope, not this guy... Time to change gears a bit...
