Life After Math

Math is now exuding from every pore of my body. I just finished a 14-week math course squeezed into six weeks of summer. I crammed a disgusting and ridiculous amount of mathematical knowledge through my brain in that time in a seeming feat of wizardry and magic. I'm pretty much farting logarithms and crying exponents.

With all of these numbers floating around in my brain, I find myself making dumb and ridiculous calculations like:

Question: If I just bought a Costco-sized jug of Ibuprofin containing 720 tablets (which I did), how many tablets must I consume to use the entire bottle before it's expiration date of January 2007?
Answer: I must consume 40 tablets a month, or, 20 2-tab doses every 30 days in order to use all of the pills before they expire. [Insert Napoleon D. voice here - "Grossss."]

Most of all, I'm just happy to have my life back. After six weeks of putting off my friends and avoiding sunlight, I can now look forward to some of my old favorite passtimes...eating food that isn't crap I threw together in five minutes, sleeping for more than 5 hours at a time, sitting on my ass watching reruns of Friends, and going out on Tuesday nights and drinking way more than I should. Ahhh...free at last...

Until next time,
The Math Wiz

She blogs! Yeah!

Farting math...does that illustrate the ASSociative property? Do you pass it with flying colors, as you did the class? Either way, it's probably worth perfecting as a roommate-friendly alternative to what you usually let slip!
