A new purchase

I never thought I'd need a graphing calculator in my life, but I bought one yesterday. I'm looking at this thing earlier thinking about how it's probably going to be harder for me to learn how to use this thing than the actual end goal of remembering how to do calculus. Which I've done. Without a graphing calculator. 

Ugh I'm old. Although not old enough for the clerk at Bureau en Gros (Staples for us Quebecers) to not mistakenly ask Jean, whom he thought was my father, if he was buying it for me for my eleventh grade math class. Which I did fourteen years ago. Without a graphing calculator, I might add.

Anyway, my college calculus credits, which are almost as old as the age I'd be if I were actually in the eleventh grade, are apparently too old to be considered as pre-requisites for the program I'm applying to this winter. I highly doubt that math has changed very much in the last decade, but that's what the head honchos at my potential future school have decided. So now I'm trying to relearn it so that I can take the equivalency exam in December.

Amazing how something as boring as how to do calculus can just disappear from your brain without a trace, like it was never there before. I wish I could put my memory banishing powers to better use, but no. Apparently I only forget things that are useful to me.
