My best friend and I sketched most of the people in my AP algebra class (the backs of their heads). That was the end of being in AP math classes. I don't know what possessed me to sit in class and do that! Proves I was your average stupid high school kid I guess.
Calculators hadn't taken over yet. I was afraid I'd forget how to do the mat…

Calculators hadn't taken over yet. I was afraid I'd forget how to do the math myself if I used a calculator. A valid worry - I have forgotten how to do a lot of it but I sure can enter formulas into a scientific calculator! Or Excel.
My Achille's heel is, drum roll please, checking accounts. I don't remember how many of them I've blown up but it is ALL OF THEM! I took a high-school level accounting class and it was a nightmare. I worked harder in that one than any other class ever. I got an A but it was sheer. Living. Hell.

I had to pass a basic accounting class for my degree.
It was a nightmare, I have no aptitude for it. I just kept muttering, "Cs get degrees".
High five!!! I felt so stupid!! Not used to that.at all!
BTW - I have no idea what that link is.
