I'm really confused as to why a guy from my "math" class, rightly named "The Magic of Numbers" is currently sitting next to me cradling a math book in his lap. And not only is it a math book, but it has STRANGE SCARY SYMBOLS in it. So that's why he was all speaking up and being smart in lecture.

Wouldn't you scorn and despise a class like this if you actually knew your way around a calculator? I'm a Russian Lit major, for heaven't sakes. I don't know what to do with these number-thingies. But this guy is reading a math text recreationally. Gah.

Ahhh... mystery has been revealed. He's taking Math 1b. But then why was he in my class?
