i am on round 2 of going over the definitions, a couple hundred hours overall into the studies, just warming up.

i remember as a kid i threw a tantrum over a multiplication table, because the first row was easy, but starting at the 2nd row (x2), it made no sense. i actually tore it into pieces. so my mother broke it down for me, giving me only a couple "multiplication pills" daily. anyways, i ended up twiddling thumbs in math until like 7th grade, because everything was easy.
