Random life fact bit.

I think I have Dyscalculia. It's the numbers dyslexia thingy. I started thinking about it when my roommate mentioned her brother had it. And really, numbers and math have frustrated me my entire life. May have to look into it.

I couldn't graduate college without passing a math course (haha, just like high school), so they let me take the History and Philosophy Of Mathematics class. The teacher was a guitarist in denim who wrote his own textbook and spiralbound the copies. Every student was guaranteed at least a B average. The only way you could fail was if you constantly disrupted the lectures or showed up chronically late. Homework was optional and included poetry or short stories about math. Lectures came with original folk music.
It was fantastic.
(I got a B plus)

I rarely passed any math class, ever. That B plus was my highest grade in any course.
