I totally agree with the gym part.

As for math... I totally get by with the basics I learned. Everything that came after in high school and college has never been any use to me at all.

I only know how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply. Although I'm pretty good at basic algebra, because I find it kind of fun, like a crossword puzzle.

My favorite thing was when my Gym Teacher said she never understood how anyone could hate being able to just play for an hour. I then proceeded to inform her how guys sitting around watching newly-developed breasts flop around and then throwing a heavy ball at you wasn't the carefree pastime it must have been back in the 70s.

I was blessed with girls-only gym, myself, and didn't have much in the way of breasts until much later in my teens. I just HATED IT ANYWAY.

Although, I actually ended up with credit for grade 12 PE. I did so much dance that they gave me school credit. woo.

lol -- Damn you and your credit dance!

I found that -- rather than trying to get out of Gym -- simply excusing myself to the washroom for extended periods seemed to help.

Oh yeah, I'm sure that would work too, but see, I'm a giant drama queen. Faking illness and making a big scene was much more my style.
