As much as I adore ruveyn, I kind of hate being reminded that I've felt like a subhuman wearing shoes and not making messes in my house.
I'm finally taking pre-algebra courses, it is the only area in which I have trouble excelling academically so I've just avoided it for years. Now I'm sick of being innumerate so I'm taking courses and forcing myself to sit through the panic attacks and learn what I can.
I might be competent within a few years!
