Summer. All year we wait for it; the slightly less than three month long weekend. And then it arrives, but no, instead of going outside and having fun, your mom has you sit inside and do MATH! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and you have to do long division and fractions and the circumference of a tire. Every year I think “I am done with math, maybe I can have time to learn basket weaving or make candles”, but then you’re told to do algebra. This year will be even worse because I’m doing harder math. But at least I can do other things.
