Math Dumb, But Now a Little Less

So I got the definitive score on my math midterm (which I thought I’d failed miserably) and I got a C!  Whose privates did I have to lick to get a passing grade?  Uh, my brain’s privates, that’s who.  I’m so mediocre, I rule your world.

Now that I don’t have constant internet access at my home unit, I usually drive to school early so I can get my internetin’ on.  The internet here is fast and grateful, but I don’t like the browser (Explorer -ICK.  I did enough Exploring in my early 20s, thank you). 

Also, I’m not allowed on certain sites, AKA Afterglide.com.  Apparantly, that site has adult content.  Funny, nothin’ looks too adult there to me.  But who am I to judge?

BRRRRAAAAPPPP!!!!!!!

I mean, I love Math.

1. Tomorrow I will find out whether or not to drop math.

2. Today, instead of making $100, I ended up not working and getting my car repaired AGAIN. Stupid S-bars and their stupid missing links.

3. Science test today. Freaking waste of time.

4. Math homework right now. Leave me alone, stalker!

5. Painting tomorrow. Please, five hours, please five hours. Need $100.

6. Thursday, clean a house, write a paper, write two blogs for a website I cannot name.

7. Listening to Ladyron Ladytron on my ipod. Suck it.

8. Friday, clean another house?

9. Saturday, kill me.

10. Sunday, day of rest. Maybe drink a juice box of wine?

The results are in folks.  I just used the answer key to gander my score and it looks as if I have failed my mid-term. 

Booyah!

You win this time, Math.  But know this:  I will burn your Math house down and your little Math Kitten too.

I Did My Laundry Today

I didn’t think I could afford it, and I was seriously contemplating washing my clothes in the bathtub. But then I remembered that I’m not a douche bag anymore and that doesn’t fly with the new and improved Muscleyarm. So I put money on my laundry card and did up some laundry proper.

I’ve noticed that I need a lot of things lately:

Laundry soap, toilet paper, stamps, blank checks, butter, ham, and vacuum bags. Why do I need to replenish all of these things when I’m scrounging the wishing well for quarters? And why am I having car problems right now, when I’m licking old man dog balls on the street for gas money? At least math is being nice to me. But maybe not. We’ll see after tonight’s midterm exam.

I Study You, Math. I Study Your Every Move…

I just spent the last four hours fulfilling my math obligation.   After days of worrying about studying for this damned midterm and not doing anything about it, I decided to give the study guide a whirl.  And what a whirl it was!  It was hard.  It was on the verge of making me cry.  But I overcame it and slew it with my superior brain and mechanical pencil.

Sure, the answers were in the back of the pamphlet, but I derived the correct answers 95% of the time with my very own noodle.  I mean 75% of the time.  That means that I have a chance of passing the test on Wednesday.

Okay, I can tell that I’m boring you.  But I really think that I have a semi-chance of passing a college-level math course, thus graduating with an infamous and elusive creative writing degree.  This degree will open many cleaning lady doors and many opportunities to contemplate suicide because I cannot make a decent living.

I should have gone into nursing.

Oh well.  Love you all,

Sincerely,

Shane MacGowen

P.s. I need to see the dentist.

Not sure if ya’ll know this about me, but I’m a seasoned author with three or four books under his belt.  That’s right, I said HIM.  You see, I’m not really a 30 year old woman-girl posting tidbits about her poverty-stricken, butt obsessed life, but a man writer doing a little research about what turns a gal on.

So far, my research has been inconclusive.

Sincerely, Bobby McFrotoMcDonald’s

P.s. BRRRRRAAAAAPP!!!

I miss my former math teacher.  He was the very best.  Why, oh why did you have to take the summer off Gerry?!! 

Gerry? 

Gerry!!!!!

I’m toying with the idea of dropping my math course.  My student advisor advised me two things:

1.  Talk to the head math honcho -check.  Waiting for response -uncheck.

2.  Ask the course instructor if you can squeeze into the philosphy/logic course offered in the fall -that’s a maybe.

Yes, I realize it is money thrown down the drain, but the other alternative is a big fat F and time/gas money wasted.  Not to mention the crying.  Oh, the crying.  So much crying over math.  When I was in first grade I was good at addition, but then we switched to subtraction and that just blew my mind.  Then came the crying. 

I hate MATH.

Home Again

Leonard Cohen kicks some major butt. The older gentleman is in his 70s and played a 3 hour set. He just wouldn’t quit! He makes young women want to make love to him. You can’t learn that in school. That is a gift from god.

Yesterday morning we got up and decided to plow straight through to Minneapolis. We stopped at a Tim Horton’s for an iced cappuccino and honey-dipped Tim Bits from a teenager with acne. Fishwich’s friend from Toronto said that Tim Horton’s is like the Starbuck’s of Canada. Maybe, but I think it is more like the McDonald’s of Canada without the beef.

The border patrol coming into America doesn’t have a sense of humor so I kept my mouth tight. We didn’t want them to tear apart the car over a carton of soy milk.

In Chicago we hit a traffic jam and a thunder storm. Come Wisconsin, it was dark and we hit even more thunder storms. After seven hours of driving I began to hallucinate and almost put us in a ditch trying to pull over to switch drivers.

Fishwich plowed through and did a bang-up job driving through the weather and then we switched drivers again. By this time, I was having a full-on LSD flashback and saw a team of imaginary deer running across the highway.

Then we stopped for beef jerky.

Finally, we crossed the Hudson river, and then hopped on Old Shepherd road into Minneapolis.

Toronto has shitty beer, or at least we couldn’t find the India Pale Ale and as soon as we zomb-ied through the front door, Fishwich popped open his IPA homebrew and we drank deep from the bottle.

All in all, the trip was great. I left out all the good parts. Glad to be back, and thank you J and M for taking such good care of Isobel.

Sincerely,

Father Hoolihan

P.s. J scoops the litter! Amazing!!!!!!!

TORONTO

Whoopee!!  We made it.  Yesterday I bought a LB. of smoked trout.  It was delicious, but then I chucked a quarter of a pound of the leftovers before we got to the border. 

At the border: 

“What are you bringing in to Canada?”

“Uh, some shaved ham, bread, cereal…you know, food stuffs.  But we threw out the smoked trout.”

Fishwich got mad at me for joking around, but I couldn’t help myself.  Today in Toronto we ate a shit ton of sushi for super cheap.  We’re staying in a hostel in near China town.  There’s sushi place next door and tacos/burritos half a block down.  I’m in heaven.

Tomorrow:  Leonard Cohen. 

Saturday:  Bell’s Brewery and Eccentric cafe in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 

Best part of the trip thus far:  The paper mill in Escanaba and the black bird on the side of the highway with a Big Gulp in its mouth.

Have fun in MN.  So glad to be away from Isobel for once.

P.s.  Your mom.
