We all have something that is one of the things we cannot do and is the bane of our existence. Well, that one thing is Math for me.
Math is the one subject that I cannot stand, nor do I understand. If you ask me to count, add or subtract, I'm okay with that...not too hard for me to do.
Multiplication and Division....those get harder for me. Fractions? FORGET IT. Algebra? SCREW THAT....I do NOT understand why numbers and letters matter and how they became relevant in our lives.
Now, I know math is used everyday in our lives and we don't know about it. Do I care? That would be a HELL NO. I cannot even fathom using math to go about my day. I still count on my fingers and have to ask how to measure things with cooking because I simply do NOT get math.
I am an English/Creative Writing Fiction major. Math does not apply to what I am doing. Unless, I become a huge best-seller and have to add up my fortune...then I will hire someone to do my math for me!
Basically, Math is the bane of my existence.....end of story!

Biggest Panic of the Day
We live in a society today where technology has taken over our lives. Everything we do has to do with electronics in some way.
I have everything set up on my phone and synced to my iPad. Yes, I have an iPhone and I love it....until last night.
My phone froze and I couldn't turn it off, couldn't make calls or receive them, couldn't get or send text messages, etc. I was stuck. I had tried everything to get it to work. I even screamed and cursed trying to get the SIM card out to see if that reset it....no luck.
So I let it drain the battery down to nothing. Finally....it turned on a reset back to normal. Phew!!! I was so relieved. If it hadn't done that, I would have basically had a $700 paper weight. I have insurance on my phone, but my email, contacts, photos, bank account and all things necessary are tied into that phone.
I have now learned my lesson. I am going to start backing up my phone and writing things down to make sure I don't lose everything.
That was my panic of the day....let's just pray it doesn't happen again!
