Dear LJ: I have no work ethic, but I just wrote half a paragraph about the semiotic meaning of colourbars, so perhaps I should be getting my degree in Master of BS.
Yeah I feel the same about maths. Although calculus was oddly soothing. All the derivatives. I liked algebra. But I'd hate to actually have it matter to my life.
When we got to precalculus at the end of year eleven, I stopped, stared, and went "I don't get this what's going on this doesn't even look like real maths" to myself, because I like maths to be about concrete things, and precalculus really *wasn't*. Then I fled maths completely for History Extension.
I liked algebra though, I wish I still knew how to do it. That and trigonometry - trig was one of the few maths tests I ever got a really high mark on.
Oh, I hated trig. Sines and cosines just DON'T MAKE SENSE. It was just memorisation because my head really couldn't get the underlying logic, and there was A FUCKING LOT to memorise.
