I think our teachers have some plot to make us all combust or something. This is no joke. The answer to the last question on my math final was "Mr. Morris [my teacher] is a math terrorist"

LOL! My math teacher would never do that. He wants to make the tests as hard as he can and then laugh and us when we have no idea what we are doing.

I have never liked Math i've just never been any good at it. I was so happy to pass it this semester.

I was good at it way back when all you needed to know was Algebra I and it made perfect sense to me. Now that all my math is abstract, and in some cases imaginary, I don't get it anymore.

Well wait till you get to college math. I still have to take math for the liberal arts and that just looks weird.

I have never heard of putting math and liberal arts in the same sentence.

Neither had i till i got to college. I dont know everything that gets done but you study some ancient cultures forms of math and numbers among other things.

I really hope I never have to take that. I probably will. I have enough trouble with our numbers!

Well its part of my degree program for social science and most likely for liberal arts people as well.

Wow, thats a lot. So when you have all of that done what kind of job do you get?

To be honest with an asociates degree not much. Most jobs in that field generally want a masters degree. Although with history and humanities you can ussualt get byu with a bachelors.

Do you want to be like a history teacher or something?

Actually i'd like to be a college professor of history someday. But what id really like to do mainly is be a NASA historian.

Haha, wow somehow I saw the NASA historian thing coming. I always liked the position nobody else did: public affairs officer. I can't add to save my life so I don't think they want me designing what will supercede the shuttle. Public affairs just sounds fun to me, because sometimes you get to work with the crew. The lead PAO for STS-107 e-mailed me back and that was pretty cool.
