They threatened not to let me graduate. So here I am, in the middle of a college level calculus class paying the consequences of a lifetime spent shunning math with a level of avoidance usually only reserved for things like ex-spouses, audits, and herpes. For extreme right-brained losers like myself. God hates me, doesn’t he?
