    Speaking of which I have a math test the very day tomorrow.

    It's an awesome subject since unlike others, there is only one real answer to whatever task you're presented. Well apart from quadratic and cubic equations and so on..

    I am taking R1 math, the most advanced course I can take at this level; not that "advanced" means too much.

    I've hated Maths until I was 30 years old, when I discovered how trigonometry was useful in my job (to calculate the tree's height without chopping it down).

    But that's really the only thing I like about Math.

    I'm the same. I always did well in it, but I hated doing it.

    I liked math just fine until halfway through my freshman year in high school. I came back from Christmas break, and suddenly I didn't understand it anymore. It was too frustrating after that.

    Was the only thing I could really understand because it's not that hard, had a terrible time trying to figure out the rest
