On shopping and school supplies

[rensong]

Went shopping today - I've been looking for niceish, button-up short sleeved shirts I don't hate to wear over my tank tops for at least a month or two, and I also wanted to go looking for one of those sun shades you put in your car to keep it from getting to a billion degrees inside. Found a shirt, so yay for that, as well as two new pairs of

I actually was pretty good at biology - usually hovering around the B+/A- range on the grading scale - but it was never something I really enjoyed, I only took the classes because I had to. Never had to take calculus thankfully because I'm pretty sure that wouldn't have ended well, either. Physics I could take or leave - I did get an A in the introductory course I took my first year or two of college, but I also had an insanely easy teacher who was probably way too easy on us.

Nah, it was the earth sciences I always did well in - physical geography, meteorology, geology to a degree, and even a bit of astronomy though that probably isn't technically an earth science. I also was one of those annoying students who effortlessly passed every English-type class I took with at least a B+, and I almost always got an A on every paper I ever wrote, no matter the class - even when I was BSing my way through it. ;)

Numbers were never my thing, and what kind of grade I got in a math class depended a *lot* on what kind of teacher I had. If I had a good teacher who was able to explain things in a way I understood, I got a good grade. If I had a bad teacher? Not so much with the good grades (case in point - in high school, the regular algebra teacher I got stuck with as a freshman pretty much sucked, and I only *barely* passed the class with a C-. Two years later when I took Advanced Algebra as a junior, I got an A- because the teacher was pretty damned awesome).

And then there was trigonometry, which I am pretty hopeless at no matter how good the teacher is. Damned triangles.
