Sal Khan and the Khan Academy to the rescue

- It makes me comfortable with mathematics.

- This was the first time I smiled doing the derivative.

- I actually got a natural high and a good mood for an entire day. Since I remember seeing all of this "matrix" text in class, and here I'm all like I know kung fu. :)

I used to think that only math geeks were the only kinds of people that liked to understand things, and everyone else just wants to.... But the take-away from this is that EVERYONE, I dont care if you are the math geek, or the kid that was going to drop out, or the kid that thought hated mathematics... when you actually LEARN something, not just learn the steps and jump through that, if you really LEARN something, it's arguably the highest high any being can have.

I think it's kind of like artifact how my brain works. I cannot understand anything, unless it's distilled down into really really really simple nuggets, and it's almost obvious. And it was so difficult when i was in school, because they just gave me the formula and said "just apply that formula", but my brain started to say i cant do it. So I would fall behind the class, and would play with the equations, and make connections, and understand why it was interesting, and what it's really saying about the universe. But later I've found it's a great asset. Because in eleventh grade when you get exposed to a concept, you're like "oh, I've spent, I've invested all that time in the eighth grade, and this concept that they are saying is a new concept, that's just that eighth grade concept and they just rebranded it a little, and now it looks like eleventh grade concept". And my peers, smarter than me, are getting stuck, memorizing things, and not knowing what they are doing, and forgetting things..
