To no avail
Forever stuck
In kitty jail
Started listening to the For Flux Sake #pottery podcast today and I am now very invested in minerals and chemistry in a way that would have my GCSE chemistry teacher, tiny Miss Scott, rolling her eyes and wondering why it’s taken this long.
Sorry Miss Scott! But one of my happiest school memories was that day you exploded through the lab door into absolute chaos, twenty minutes late for the lesson, clutching a cardboard box, and declared that you had kittens. It was awesome.
In the fourth grade, we had a box of classroom calculators we were very occasionally allowed to use during math class.
"You can't use them all the time because you're not always going to have a calculator with you when you're an adult," our teacher said.
I feel vindicated every time I use my phone to do simple math.
