Finally today I can rest in peace! I did it! I just
accomplished something which I thought would have been impossible for me but
after doing it I just feel so good that I can’t tell. In everyone’s life there
is a thing which they long for, something which others may have or maybe not.
Something not just money can buy. I can hear like a thousand voices yelling the
answer to all my problems. No, to the guy who just said smelling socks, except
you. I mean maths!!!! And by the way what do you mean by smelling socks? I
don’t get it why would someone want to achieve smelling socks? Take mine if you
need. Well, however maths is typical problem of almost the entire human
species. I find maths absolutely unsatisfying and unnecessary. I mean why would
someone want to know the factors of the equation
8gdwgd7w2873jdkqbdyqfd7e923636370w-ohfdckcb? It’s not like someday when you are
laying on your deathbed maths is going to help you. Or is it? Let me just
remind you of an incident which made me look so smart but so dumb at the same
time. I used to be in third grade when a very very itchy maths teacher of mine,
and by itchy I mean the one who used to scratch herself all the time while
teaching children. She was teaching us about graphs and pictorial
representation which seemed like the easiest thing on the whole world (doesn’t
seem now) but anyway yes it did and to make us understand better she gave an
example of a survey which she held in the class herself. Each student had to
name their favourite subject out of any and then based on the numbers that
she’d get after the poll she will make a graph out of it. We do stupid things.
So, excuse me but being a human being I did something stupid too , I told the
itchy teacher of how fond of maths I was
(oh please! Like I really do!) . Although no one even remembers that
something so weird also had taken place sometime in the extreme past but every
time I recall this happening and I feel stupid. Like I should just go and get
drown myself in a glass full of water. I am even confused of how the hell in
this world can I utter maths to be my favourite subject? When I’ll figure it
out I’ll tell you meanwhile where’s the guy who wanted some smelling socks?
So, there are these two boys in my class who I don’t know
why are the quickest to solve maths problems while I am still not coming out of
the shock of how long can a world problem actually get. Every time one sees a
maths test paper the shock in their eyes gets bigger and even regretful. Even
Chinese eyes get widened, what more do you expect? These two boys in my class
make me want to groan and kill the maths teacher. The worst part about people
who understand maths is that they feel supreme and don’t let others
concentrate. The same happens with a bunch of people who frequently visit my
tuitions. Such mathematicians don’t deserve our friendship. Such extreme
betrayal using maths. To be honest such people need to stop coming to such
educational institutions because they just are too smart that it’s a shame for
them to sit in such dumb places.
No, matter how much I try to solve math problems I somehow
end up looking like the grumpy cat. Meanwhile I work up so hard to be good at
it but every time I just simply fail. No, not at maths! At just being able to
score better at maths. The least I can do is satisfy myself with my best
friend’s marks. You very well know what I mean. But recently I’ve got good marks
which make me want to jump with joy. If I want to explain the feeling I’d just
simply say that it feels like being on top of the world. The confidence which I
had lost in the past years when I used to give my examiners a horrible maths
paper at least I’m over that stage of my life. Now I’m improving and I bet you
that feels too good! Sometimes all you need is a sudden boost that completely
shakes you up and like awakens you. Like a bad dream that’ll soon get over. All
you need to do is do the right sum at the right time and with the right
guidance. Then probably you won’t need to search on Google to how to be good at
maths.
Some of my biggest nightmares include spiders, lizards, ghosts,
unfinished cake and time duration bell in the exams. I hate to be late at anything.
I feel like it’s the end of the world when your paper is forcefully snatched
away from you. The realisation and worry is intolerable. I guess sometime the
odds aren’t in your favour normally in maths they are always not only in yours
but in everyone’s. It was when only five minutes were left from the examiner to
collect the papers. I used to sit on the third or fourth bench and so, I was
quite worried about my early submission. I had left almost half of the paper
upon god’s will and the other half I had somehow managed to do on my own with
the help of some teamwork. Thanks to my friends who helped me in such hard
times. I very well remember that one question which looked quite simple at
first. The demand of the question was to find out a cube of a long number.
Which I think started from seven but like they say things aren’t the same as
they look. It was a horrible trap which trapped me into the long and unending
calculations resulting the examiner to force me into surrendering and giving
away the paper. She kept yelling at me for not completing it on time and
wasting her energy but while I was busy calculating she was busy distracting
me. It seemed so stupid that why a person would take extra five minutes? To
complete any question right? But no, she felt as if I wasn’t involved into any
solution finding but I was just relaxing. I wish I could curse that teacher and
let her alone die in a horrible place. Oh my gosh I just need to drink water,
my blood’s boiling! Can you please do me a favour and get me a glass of water please?
Yes, you. The smelly socks boy. And remember to wash your hands first!
The conclusion to this topic is that maths is a complete
torture to humans. Unlike some strange people who understand maths I am proud
not to be someone like them. I can’t change the brain but I can learn maths
which I’ve got going for me. Like mahatma Gandhi said that English makes us
feel like aliens in our own lands I’d just like to make a suggestion that maths
makes us feel like aliens in our own lands. Things aren’t always as they seem
so I’d like to tell you to watch out for word problems in test papers as in
class they are like 1 orange =100 +13 mangoes but in exams they are mostly like
“ I have 6666876 things and 26y lemons. If I squeeze one into your brain how
many fingers do I get? And last but not the least I’d just like to die rather
than study maths and I know that the smelly socks boy is the right one to help
me out for it.
