Math Is Hard!

I can write all day long, but put numbers in front of me and I'm a blithering idiot. It took me an hour to compare the point values on my syllabus to those on my grade sheets to make sure everything matched up. I knew I had done this at the beginning of the semester; in each class the total value of assignments came up to 150. But every time I tried to figure it out today, I got a sum that wasn't 150. Finally I got it straight. I'm not usually a big math head, but I can generally make some sense of numbers. I think my brain is tired from the grading, ten hours on Wednesday and two hours yesterday before five hours of classes. Now that my math exercise is finished, I can go back to English. Or maybe I'll just take a nap or plant flowers. It's a beautiful day and the weekend is supposed to be rainy, and I just ran to Ace for weed-and-feed and supercool, really odd plants. I'll post a picture when I get them in the ground.
