More nth power to ya

Heaven's to Betsy. Can this day possibly get any worse? I was trying to take my on-line math exam and they cut my exam off because my internet signal was going in and out. Now I have to reschedule for Thursday.  I was thinking that I was going to be free of Algebra, numbers and letters and all of that crap.  Well now I am not.  At least until my Statistics class next term. I hate math and I am pretty sure that math hates me if for no reason other than the sincere disdain I have when speaking of said math.  I am pretty sure there are other ways to maneuver around in life without knowing the hypotenuse of this or that or why I need Pythagoras and his damn theorum. I am sure Copernicus is rolling in his grave at the mere thought of me trying to do math. It's just not in the cards for me to do math. Even as a child I spent many sleepy nights at the dinner table struggling with long division while Der Father drilled time tables into my head. As fate would have it I became a whiz (if there is such a thing) at long division and multiplication but then some asshole decided that they were going to throw some letters in the mix just for crap and giggles I guess. This is my dilemma now. Not just the letters but all of their friends, co sine, exponents, degrees, angles...You get my point. I am sure if I were in some other profession or just any profession at this point I would have to use some math. When I was an abstractor I had to use a land compass and measure angles and degrees and draw properties by hand and I did just fine with my somewhat poor math skills. So this is why I don't really feel bad about being a math failure. Just because I am not on friendly terms with co sine, tangents, and all their rowdy pretend number friends that doesn't make be a bad person.  What the heck are irrational numbers anyway?  After all, who needs numbers that are deprived of reason  and act suspiciously when you try and manipulate them.
