But I know exactly what you mean - I had other things at school I did not get, for example Chemistry or Latin. But what do I really need in the life after school?

Ask me to apply any of it today, and I'll say I can't. But back then, it seemed to make sense if I was going to be an engineer or a statistician. So now I guess I'm a bit like your adorable little boy. I don't get it, either. I especially don't get why I spent all that time learning it, only to let it all go to waste.<br /><br />Enough about me, though. Your journal page is adorable, and your message came through loud and clear, at least to me it did!
