Maths and English

Once again, arithmetic is the bane of my life. That really pretty much sums up the whole of my mathematics adventures in life from long division to algebra to calculus. If only I'd paid better attention in somewhere around 4th grade I'm sure my life would be at least slightly easier now, but oh well.
In other news: I've been trying to think of interesting reminiscence questions, by which I mean interesting to ME, that won't cause some kind of nervous breakdown in my first clinical patient. At this point I've pretty much eliminated anything war related, and decided I'll try to stick to the economic, social and cultural aspects of life that have changed. Mostly because certain folks (i.e. politricksters, talking heads, and every other pundit) want to compare what we are going through now to the Great Depression, and, although I'll grant there are some similarities, I'm pretty much of the opinion that they are full of hot air and need to go down like the Hindenburg. For anyone really interested in the current economic situation outside of the malarkey being spouted on Fox News and CNN 24/7, and you have an hour to burn, I recommend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj8rMwdQf6k
