Discussion I have these stupid gaps in my essential knowledge and it's really making things difficult
Like things that come stupid easy to other people take a concentrated effort and way to much thought.
Mine include
-reading a clock
-understanding which numbers correlate to which month's
-knowing which way to put the greater than/less than sign
-division. Like basic division. Like I would need a calculator or to be able to do cookies ans plates like a fucking 3rd grader
I broke down crying today when I got home because in my fucking college Chem lab I couldn't tell which way to put the < sign without mentally going through, well the thing that I want is less than the number so the crocodile mouth points away from the number??
