This was one of my tongue-in-cheekiest quotes of the entire book. I, unfortunately, can only vaguely lament the time I spent in Calculus, but I can only imagine what students were feeling now. Even the brightest students of Kirkwood High School probably feel the same way about it. What makes this funny to me is that I used nothing but Calculus terms to describe a feeling of falling endlessly into the void. When I did Calculus, this was how I felt for most of the duration.
I’ll be the first one to tell you that if it’s anything beyond Algebra, my mind is just blown. But, that’s the cool thing about life. Not everyone is destined to be a mathematician. I grew up having an effortless knack for writing, but a buddy of mine ended up being a computer programmer. When I was a child, I feel like the roles were reversed. It’s just funny how things like that.
