Verbal/humanities stuff is easy for me to conceptualize, even if I procrastinate like a motherfucker on actually applying it, but math took so much mental effort I ended up saying to hell with it after a while. ...not like they're, you know, the same or anything, but for some reason I assumed they were. I was mostly terrible at figuring out how to apply formulae to problems; plugging in numbers came pretty easily to me with practice and a lot of fiddling around with the programs on my graphing calculator. IDK if it was the teachers or not; I had a few particularly crappy math teachers in high school, and the one decent teacher I had was in 9th grade, when I got pushed into advanced math without having any idea of what was going on. (Which was a mostly-female class, come to think of it.)
