Yes you're right. I hate you. I'm seventeen years old, a junior in high school, and i have to bust my ass to get any grade higher than a D in math and science. However, i fucking rule at english and social sciences, and i currently have 100s in art and music theory.
I've just never been a math person, i suppose.
I'm not gonna pretend I did great in everything. I might've had a 100 average in English and a high 90 in History but I didn't do too well in Science (mid 80s) or Math (low 80s to mid 70s). Course, I was in advanced Math...
The obvious reason for this is that I am good at bullshitting and extrapolating answers from questions and contextual information. Thus I could rock English and History with no real problem. Also, I was (and still am) interested in literature and history so I would actually pay attention in class and read (some of) the books. I also received some lessons on SAT test taking in the 7th grade from a private tutor (mom's friend, we weren't wealthy) which was always useful, as well as three years of John Hopkins Institute writing tutorials (as a result of the score I got on the SAT my mom's friend taught me how to take). Essays were, and always will be, my *****.
I don't want to tell you to just say "Fuck it" when it comes to Science and Math, but as long as you can do logic and algebra, well, fuck math. Unless you want to be a programmer or an engineer or something, in which case... maybe you should reconsider. Science, however, should at least be understood on a basic level.
