Did you know that 2 times 2 is 1? My classmate was just pointing out that my professor misspoke (I’m posting this from class because I take notes on my laptop) when he, the professor, said 2 times 2 is 0 but how it’s actually equal to 1. Actually, my classmate is correct because we’re doing 2 times 2 modulus 3, which does happen to equal 1. But after twelve years of public school and four years of college, hearing “2 times 2 is” followed by anything other than “4″ is just weird. Now, back to my note-taking…

I know what you mean XD I remember when I started taking math in college and suddenly there were so many things that didn’t match what I was taught in school. Math is fun, but meh… I rather be just distant friends with it, no love whatsoever. I’m glad my BS only requires me to take Calc I and statistics / computers.
