voices and math

I'm not sure if I'm good at Math anymore... I think I used to be, and I know that I used to really enjoy it. Until, of course, the dreaded, stereotypical Junior High "girls can't do math" time hit.

But also, I think that's when my ADD really moved into high gear. I often wonder if I'd realized about the ADD earlier or had better coping skills at a younger age if I would still love to do math. There's something methodical about it that appeals- when you begin a problem, there's a solution somewhere (at least, there was at the level of math that I did).

Also, I just read your comment on my other blog- about writing/skill levels, etc. and it occured to me that to me our writing styles are very similar. Also, if you think about it, I've been practicing for the past 15 years, really- in school.

I miss that aspect of school a lot. Being forced to do things that I enjoy, but without motivation I would probably just sit on my couch and watch movies. Much as I am doing right now. But look- I'm blogging! I'm productive!

But now I'm going to go clean, or at least think about it. Because things are biting me in my sleep, and I need for that not to be happening.

Love
