Math; Wednesday, First Period [09/22].

Anyone in the class (which she was pretty sure was most of the class) who already had a basic understanding of math would probably be able to guess what they were getting themselves into based on the figures that were on the board when they came in that morning, but, just in case anyone needed the help, Rosa was there to explain.

"Today," she informed them, "we're doing geometry. Shapes and shit. I think it's supposed to be applicable to the things we see in every day life, but I don't think I know a single person who might actually use any of this in real life, safe for some real nerds."

Although, to be fair, she did know a lot of nerves.

"So today, we're going a break down of the the different shapes and their properies as well as equations to figure out incredibly useful things like the perimeter of a triangle or the theorum of some dude who's been dead for thousands of years that you'll definitely use in real life all the time, so pay attention because I really only want to do this once."

And so she set off to do just that, in quite possibly the world's most sarcastic lecture about geometry to ever exist, that will be entirely handwaved because there's no way a certain someone is actually writing a lecture about geometry before four o'clock in the morning.

And not even after.

And that was that.

"Before you go," Rosa added, as she set down the chalk on (thank God) the last of it and turned back to the students, "be sure to pick up your homework, to be done outside of class so if you need help, you can ask the Internet instead of me."

She hesitated a moment, dreading if there was an actual response to this next part: "Any questions before we go?"

Geometry didn't seem as intimidating as algebra so far, so Jo was at least having more luck following the lecture this week.

Jo picked up her homework and then, tilting her head slightly found herself asking, "you can look up math on the internet?"

She had only just learnt how to use email so the actual internet was still confusing to her.
