Wait For It... I Actually Like School

Call me Hermione Granger, but I actually enjoy doing my school. I look forward to it during the weekends, and feel immense satisfaction as I go through my subjects and mark off my school chart. It's possible I'm the only person that wakes up on Monday, sits down at my desk, and is just like, "Yisss school."

However lets take a moment to rewind here. My school isn't quite normal, though, so perhaps you should know exactly what it is I do.

I'm not as hardcore as your average student, and I mostly study topics that are an interest to me. Such as: Music (piano and recorder), Languages (Scottish Gaelic, Norwegian, Russian, and French), Creative writing, Swordsmanship, and Math.

Hold on a second here though. Math. The age old maker of tears and stress. Why the average person studies Algebra, I don't understand. Leave it be and let the crazy scientists use it when we finally launch the rocket to Mars, which I'm so excited for. I mean it's the only known planet to be solly inhabited by robots! But I digress.

I would like to take a moment you tell you a little story. I call it: Prepare Yourself, I Enjoy Math Too.

Yes! I kid you not. Having loved mysteries since before birth, I enjoy math because it's another mystery. Calculating different numbers in order to find the answer is actually fun. A year or so ago, I kept up with my math really well. I was doing it every school day, and I was getting good at what I was doing. Granted, I will say, I was technically below my grade level. But I have my own ideas about what level you should be (i.e. go at your own pace peeps, it's so much better that way), so whatever.

But I loved doing math. It was great, until- yes, there's an until in this story- until I got distracted and wasn't able to keep up with my school as well. As much as I enjoy it, I do go through periods where it's harder for me to keep up, or I take breaks. When I came back, I didn't really remember anything.

That's when math became less fun. But I still know that is can be, if I apply myself to it hard enough.

So to conclude this story: yes, I do very muchly enjoy math when I keep at it long enough. But unless I do it regularly, it can be torture if I do anything beyond the basics.

There you have it people. I like school. I don't just like it. I love school. It's one of my favorite things in the day. School is the best.
