heheh... when I moved to Boston, started taking math at BHS, and in the
first test I got a 10 (out of 100). Definitely didn't make a good
impression on my teacher. It took two months before I finally caught up
with the terminology... :/ After that though, it was easy enough,
until I started learning for the .il tests... ;)
