Hey Heather: I got a 90. But the funny thing is Mrs. Ruthless, my character from HIGH SCHOOL BITES was based on the cruelest, meanest, most awful math teacher ever. She made me feel totally stupid and set me up for major math phobia. And even with the wisdom and distance of many years later, I can still with utter conviction and sincerity say she was one of the worst teachers roaming the earth. It was only after reading books on math theory as an adult (I highly recommend My Brain is Open by Bruce Schector) did I discover math isn’t all that bad! E
That’s funny, Erica. I based the English teacher, Mrs. Bell, in NINTH GRADE SUCKS on a substitue teacher I had many times over my high school years. She was AWFUL. (Teachers, please be good to your students…otherwise, they’ll grow up to become warped authors like Erica & I)
I’ve never enjoyed math. It’s not that I can’t do it. I’d just rather not. (Though, I confess, being able to calculate how much it will cost to drive from Salt Lake City to Detroit really does come in handy…)
OMG. I got 9/10. This, along with me getting a 720 on my math SAT, just goes to show it’s all nonsense. I’m horrible at math, hate it and can’t stand it. And it hates me too. ((shakes head))

ROFL… ok, so I got the same score as you. That’s not good, not good at all
You were TOTALLY cheating off of me!!! Or…I was cheasting off of you.
Either way, it’s not good.
Huh, I only got 7/10. That’s stupid math!

I never took my SATs. But I’d wager I’d have failed the math part…
