School work

As I am sure that you know by now I do not manage to understand maths at all.  However, I have been sailing along working out wages and salaries etc. quite well.  I knew it was too good to be true.  Now they want percentages.  I really have no idea how to do them even on a calculator.  I get 100%, 50%, 25%, 20%, 10%.  I just know them but ask me in between stuff and I am befuddled.  My friend has told me what to do over the phone so I am going to have a bash at them again but if they don't work I will have to ask the teacher at school.  I have only just made it off the first page and there are about five to go.  I might still be working on this next semester when I won't even be at school.  I have to get to know what to do as we will have a test/exam at the end of term. 

The best thing that I did the other day was to listen to my mp3 player and block out the rest of the class.  I got quite a lot done and found it much easier to concentrate without all the background talking.  It also stops people from asking questions.  I don't know why they ask me stuff I am the last one who would know anything.

I have spent so much time doing the maths at school that I have almost totally ignored my research project.  I think I should be able to slap some stuff together to present. 

For the rest of the year I will be home doing all the stuff that I like doing and not having to worry about studying.  Yay for me.  Knitting, sewing and reading here I come.  I also plan to take the dog to the beach every now and then. 

All holiday and no work make Cushie a happy person.
