nothing makes me feel more pathetic than when I’m trying to do a basic as fuck sum in my head and my brain is giving me absolutely nothing
not a single gear moving up there. Brain just clocks out when numbers are involved and trying to force it to figure out even the simplest calculations physically feels excruciating and exhausting
meanwhile my dad and my brother will be looking at me like I’m some alien experiment bc how can I be so stupid that I can’t do this shit in my head?
#I’ve always suspected I’ve got some degree of dyscalculia bc there are other related issues I have in that area#I used to slam my head on the table in primary school in frustration and cry when I couldn’t get my brain to figure things out#my exams and jotter margins were peppered with loads of tiny dot marks from where I would have to physically make a mark to count#and then count up how many marks I’d made to do the multiplication or whatever. Like 6x7 I would do six sets of seven dots and count them#I can’t do it in my head and school made me feel like an absolute moron for it but no-one ever suggested I might have an issue there#I couldn’t memorise times tables beyond like 2 and 5 and 10 consistently. Even 4 wouldn’t stick somehow#and 6 7 and 8 made me cry from how much I struggled with them. I still can’t remember them#I had a maths tutor in high school for my last year and every week he would have to teach me things again bc it wouldn’t stay in my head#My dad would shout at me when I was asking for help at maths homework bc he somehow thought shouting the sum at me would make me Get it#uncle would throw questions at me and my bro to figure out and my brother would get it instantly and I would be sat there struggling#and then the inevitable impatient sound of a disbelieving ‘come on!!’ would follow and I’d feel worse bc im expected to do it and I couldnt#there’s a home video of me trying to figure out the difference between the years 1982 and 1987 and the pause while the gears struggle#ton work out the number before saying it is agonising to listen to bc I am genuinely taking that long to do it

everything ends here
i think i got a 1 in math because i missed the exam today.
fucking subject, everyone understands it except me and i'll have to go in december to waste time with my stupid male classmates to take a subject that i won't understand.
#personal#i never failed a subject#i always had high grades from primary school until now#but as always#math was never one of those#i don't want to go to december 😿#i fucking hate that subject#it always stress and makes me wanna cry#but everyone understands it#so i'm like a stupid#it can't be that im the student with the best grades but a total idiot in math.#augh

I wish we taught kids math games to help them practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in their heads.
I just started playing Cult of the Lamb and I loved the knucklebones mini game so much. It's addition and simple multiplication and would be great for those just starting to learn multiplication. (Play here, wiki here)
Another good one is sticks, its just addition so it's great for first and second graders. (Wikipedia entry here)

Building notion i have that jan might actually have two 40ft tall fathers due to the recent story events NOT dissuaded by both of them showing up to protect him at the school being attacked by the dinoforce [comedy villians that do NOT require the protagonist heavy hitters powerup combiner mode]
Anyway
[ID: Transformers Victory [89 anime] screenshot. Shown is a black and white photo in a scrapbook. Star Saber in his power up form, and God Ginrai stand next to each other. Above their shoulders stands Jan, on his hovering platform. It could look like a family photo. END]
#some shit#its not called cisformers#on the matter that he may have more NON 40ft tall robot father figures is also in the air#honestly it seems like holi is his primary care taker#but whether that is the reality of making the show and wanting that team together.#or jan just hanging out with someone hed view more as an age pier#or perhaps the practicality of holi only being like 10 ft and thus. u know. more interactable#if i have to count the multiforce the math is gonna get weird#and yeah it wasnt ginrai at the school it was victory leo but. you know. reincarnation via cybernetic recycling.

every day this week i have gone to set up my classroom and somehow that involves spending way more time there than i thought (9am - 6pm) and also an average of $250 a day
i’m already over this year
#my classroom library was PITIFUL#i taught primary for over a decade and last year i borrowed books from my friends and teammates#so i spent about … $400? on books alone#then of course i don’t have nearly enough space so i needed shelves#and target had those cute disc chairs on sale so they’re also in my library now#the school didn’t add headphones to the supply list and i found some on sale so i picked up a few of those#we have to use an online component for math and like hell am i going to listen to 25 computers during that time#plus new bulletin board paper and borders (okay those were very cheap)#now i really want to get some plants but lord i’m so broke

I'm currently watching a YouTuber react to episodes of Buffy. The first one was Once More with Feeling because her reaction popped up after I watched a bunch of its songs in a row, and I was like 'hey I wonder how she reacted to earlier episodes' and now I'm kind of hooked.
Anyway at the moment she is Not Having A Good Time and I am forcibly reminded of being twelve and trying to act Normal around my family after watching the episode where Jenny dies.
#I mean I'm a little fuzzy on how old I was#Because I feel like I was older?#But I couldn't have been much older#Because I went to boarding school in '99#And I think I missed most of a season because of it#And I definitely watched the whole Angel arc at home#So I would have had to have been in primary school still#Anyway doing the math I can definitely forgive myself for thinking Angel was hot shit#Angel was designed to appeal to little girls just like me

I'd love to yap about things more but I'm unfortunately stricken with the "I think I'm stupid" disease
#i can understand things im just weirdly oblivious but please trust that im trying 💔#my dad definitely has autism and my mum definitely has adhd and my brother's autistic so i definitely have something#and that all collides with the constant exhaustion so i don't trust myself to be smart#i blame primary school maths for this#one incompetent teacher got me fucked up for the rest of my life#bue waffling

How am I supposed to go from being ridiculed and judged for asking for help with my assignments/lessons in primary school to casually asking for help in college?? Am I supposed to act like my teachers and classmates didn’t screw me up in the head or
#college things#primary school things#no seriously#we were getting screamed at and made teachers disappointed if we did so much as ask for a simpler explanation or a repeat#and you expect me to casually ask my professors questions about my assignments???#emailing them is out of the question#they're gonna think I'm an idiot#which I am but no one needs to know that#it's so humiliating#shoutout to all the teachers and classmates who made me feel like a failure for not understanding everything right away#school trauma#I literally struggled to post ANONYMOUSLY on a discussion board once because I felt so stupid for asking a question#it doesn't help that I'm neurodivergent#and have a math disability#like it got so bad to the point where I was offended by people offering me help#because I was being indirectly told that needing help with your education is bad and that I should be ashamed#not to mention having the determine which classmates are nice and which ones will ruin your image if you ask for help#part of why I prefer working alone because I can't deal with that embarrassment#also yes this post helped me realize that school did in fact traumatize me in at least one way

Achievement unlocked: Reunite with an old childhood friend who I thought left the country a decade ago.
#astral writes#story time i guess#there is a girl in my further maths class#she joined externally#and I didn't know for sure if it was my old childhood friend#since a) there could be other kids named that#and b) the last time I saw her was when I was 7#but while I was walking to our class#I saw her and was trying so hard to make conversation#<- 0 words came out of my mouth#then she asked if I went to (insert my primary school)#and boy I was so caught off guard#we did get to talk for a few minutes before sitting down#but now I really want to speak to her again

tbh the only reason why I'm not skipping every math lesson and actually giving it ago is bc I know Alan Turing would be disappointed
#jinx's hijinks#but fr why couldnt i get the good at math neurodivergency#like i feel so stupid because my primary school fucked me over in every aspect#i missed out on so many key parts of my learning due to so many factors#all my classmates hated me and i spent so much time just out of class#my school didnt give me any accommodations because i hadnt been flagged as neurodivergent#even tho i was very clearly neurodivergent#i had to leave so many lessons because i would cry uncontrollably or hide under desks because i didnt want to be around anyone#i found it so hard to pay attention to anything that didnt interest me and it effected me so badly#i dont know my times tables because i wasnt taught in a way we could understand#everyone around me understood but me and i was left to fall behind because they cared more about extending other kids further#than helping the kids who were struggling#and i know my school was like this because i excelled in other subjects and watched other kids fall behind because they struggled#anyways can education systems care more about oids who fall behind because it so quickly can fuck up the rest of their schooling#and make it so much harder for them
