Why I Feel Sick When I Walk Into Math Class
By: Darthmat The following is a true story. I once walked into my 3rd period math class, and felt a little queezy. It was only for a second, and then passed. I get that way when I do something I really don't want to. So what's so bad about math class? I happen to like […]
