MATH it will indeed KILL YOU!!!

Well as far as Monday's go, it was okay, I watched Magnolia and I have to say It's one of the longest films ever, but a good film none the less. Now another film that is ever so lengthy is Love Actually, it's about two and a half hours long, and most of it is a waste of time.Some of the story lines that they got going they could have just left out of the film. So all in all some long length features I think should just be cut down into 100 minutes at the most, while a film like Magnolia was excellent in length and I never lost interest in the story. After Magnolia however I watch Bend It Like Beckham the best football (soccer) film ever made, if you haven't seen it you're definitely missing out!

I also finished The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, a very delightful book, if you have the chance go ahead and read it.

Math can literally kill you if you're not so careful. I once knew someone who got so caught up in math, that by the time this person finally got through all of the math that they ever needed to take in school, they actually looked like the living dead.

However don't get me wrong when I say math is "bad". In some professions it has a ton of advantages, such as the following:

Accounting

Finance

Business Information Systems

Engineering

Economics

Mathematical Sciences

Physics

High School Teacher
College Professor

Just to name a few. However in most of these fields you do have to have a pretty decent degree in order to make good money. So when this person thought that they were all finished with math in high school, oh were they ever so wrong about that. Once they got into their dream school they though "I'm in the home run, four years and not a single math course" HA HA HA, were they in for a surprise. A surprise that is just like a Jack-In-The-Box, who pops out at you at the end of the tune and scares the living daylights out of you, even though you knew it was coming to get you.

Anyways on with my lovely story about how math can literary kill you. After all of the required math courses where taken there was just one last upper-level course that needed to be completed in order to get the degree. Well this person was only missing this one class, so they signed up for to get it over with. The class was a class that only lasted four weeks, but you had to meet every single day for 6 hours. That’s 120 hours for that course, and you only meet on the weekdays.

Well this person was in a pile of homework at the end of each day, that they started to live off of caffeine. They not only drank coffee and Red Bulls, they even bought that disgusting tasting gum, and those caffeine tablets people sometimes take. By the end of the second week of class this person hadn't slept in 7 days, that's 168 hours, which is 10,008 minutes which is 604,800 seconds.

By the end of the third week this person had lost so much weight that they were considered anorexic. They had not slept in 14 days, that's 336 hours, which is 20,160 minutes which is equal to 1,209,600 seconds. Can you just imagine not sleeping that long. I was surprised they were still able to go to class and then to work right afterwards. Their boss probably thought it was a new diet or something.

By the end of the four weeks of this, they hadn't slept for 21 days, that’s 504 hours, which is 30,240 minutes which equals to 1,814,400 seconds. By this time this person looked like a corpse who came out of the grave to take care of unfinished business. However this living dead dressed pretty well and could actually afford to go purchase all of this caffeine that they had consumed.

I heard after their final they also got an honorary degree in math just for completing that course, but the hell they went through was so much, that even to this day they will never be able to catch up on the missing 189 hours of sleep that they were deprived from during this period. If you are wondering how I got the 189, it's easy 21 days x 9 hours of sleep per night = 189 hours of sleep in total.

So if they only decided to do themselves a favor and sleep during this period they would have been better off, and they won't look like they are 45 when they are really only 25.

So really in this case math didn't kill anyone, but all the textbooks and notes that you would have used would probably kill you if they were all combined and they where to fall on top of you from 10 stories up or more. Plus you'd probably be broke as well since textbooks cost an arm and a leg, and I should know because I work at a campus bookstore.

So don’t slack in math, the faster you get it over with the better for you.

THE END.
