Only By The Grace of God Did I Make It Past The 7th Grade

Sitting next to me on the train yesterday was an Asian girl, no older than 12. It was just about 4 something in the afternoon, so school wasn’t out for long.  @ 1st she wouldn’t sit still & I got annoyed, but then I noticed what she was rummaging for.  It was one of these:http://schoolweb.dysart.org/TeacherSites/uploads/2445/Audio/books_-_math.gif

All I could think was, is she really gonna sit here & disrespect me by pulling out one of these things? & Didn’t she just get out of school? Why the hell would you wanna go back to that stuff so fast. (Oh yeah & she just happened to be Asian and doing Math. No pun or undertones intended. Seriously.)

In my usual nosiness I peered over & instantly had flashbacks of the countless days I sat in class lookin like boo-boo the fool while shit like this stared back @ me: http://www.duke.edu/web/pfs/lessons/grade4math/math%204th/Goal%201/Adding%20and%20subtraction%20like%20fractions.jpg

But her page read something like

and

                                         IMPLICATION
                                         (p implies q)  EQUIVALENCE
   NEGATION   CONJUNCTION  DISJUNCTION   (if p then q)  (p equiv. q)
   (not p)     (p and q)    (p or q)     (p only if q)   (p iff q)

    p | ~p     p q | pq     p q | pvq     p q | p->q     p q | p=q
   --------   ----------   -----------   ------------   -----------
    T |  F     T T |  T     T T |  T      T T |  T       T T |  T
    F |  T     T F |  F     T F |  T      T F |  F       T F |  F
               F T |  F     F T |  T      F T |  T       F T |  F

               F F |  F     F F |  F      F F |  T       F F |  T

Can you say meltdown

& that only reminded me of:

Ah, if only they had one of these handy charts when I was growin up.  You know I still can’t read those? (Well w/ the exception of “one”, “five” & “ten”, so technically I can’t count past that in Roman Numerals)  But as long as we still are using ‘em why don’t we pull out a sundial & churn some butter while we’re at it.  I’ll ask Jebediah to round up the cows.

& wtf is he talkin bout

LoL. So I can’t count besides simple +, -,÷, x & ur occasional %’s for sales.  But it ain’t all that bad cuz because I can spell.

Please Vote for Barack!
