I’m back in math class. I have a monkey on crack teaching me shit that my mind can’t absorb. It’s like a hollow log inside my head when I’m sitting in that class. No lie.
The funniest part? TheMan is taking the same class on an opposite night. Lucky for him he’s got a more human professor. Unluckily for him, he needs my help.
HUH?
Mwahahaha!!!! Man, is he in for a shock.
Anyway, tonight was his first night of class. He came home and asked me to help him (*snort*). First, you need to know that he was doing linear equations. He couldn’t get the concept from the get. The equation was x+7= 9. The conversation went like this: Him: What now?
Me: You have to work it so the variable is by itself.
Him: What’s a “variable”?
Me: The x.
Him: Now what?
Me: *Grabs pencil and starts pointing* You have to subtract 7 from the right side and subtract it from the left side. Here. *Hands back pencil.*
Him: *Subtracts from right side* Now what? Me: HUH?
Him: What’s next? That’s not the answer.
Me: This is why I’m not a teacher. Subtract it from the other side too.
Him: Subtract what, though?
Me: SUBTRACT THE DAMNED SEVEN!
Him: Why? That doesn’t make sense.
Me: Where the hell’s the tequila?
OMG! Do you know how long it took me to get him to understand that both sides should be equal (meaning add or subtract equally from both sides of the equation)? I’m thanking the Goddess now that he’s not taking College Algebra, because I would seriously kill him. No lie. Of course, this was his first class of the semester, so I may still kill him.
Math…ACK!
