I have had to work really, really, really hard at improving my conceptualizing of directions and maps. I always have to close my eyes and picture a compass, and it feels like my brain is literally hurting whenever I do it--usually it takes me ages to work it out, and I'm still not always correct. It sucks.

I have no concept of the measurement of distances. I also can't do tips and change, no matter how many zillions of times the formulas have been explained to me. I have no memory for the chronology of events over the long term. And I do have a serious flight response when it comes to anything mathematical.

Weirdly, though, I'm pretty good at Algebra. I just don't like it.
