_FUNNY BUT TRUE !!!_*1*. Remember Further Maths (aka _Additional Mathematics_) ???They warned you that it'd be tough so you committed to listening attentively from the very beginning...*2*. ...things started very well. 2a+8a = 10a. Easy beans. You are happy. This thing is not so hard. You are following it. Very happy.*3*. Then slowly, you don't see any number again, just letters fighting Jackie Chan on the board; Sin 0/Cos 0 = A/Bx find *x*.... ahan. You vexed!*4*. You went back to your note, & started thinking, "at what point did I miss it? Why did the teacher eliminate numbers? Why is *"x"* important?"*5*. You say ok, may be it is just this part. Then the teacher goes, find *x* if α%*¤< + & @%β^ = &^^ # *x*.You ask the teacher, _"please give us a clue Sir"_*6*. In your head, you are thinking, "how can you tell me to find *x* when I can't even find all the things surrounding *x*?"*7*. At that point, you start to dream about your blessed and assured *"F"* in WAEC. To avoid it, you look for a friend to explain better to you.*8*. This time, you didn't even look for the girl you were tripping for to come teach you because this time...u really want to learn*9*. You remember your parents, the school fees and the "F" you were already dreaming about. You didn't fool yourself. You looked for your guy.*10*. You even bought that expensive Further Maths text book. That one where after page one, everything else is written in tongues.*11*. You bought rechargeable lamp. Called your mum to bring more provisions because "I now read at night and I get hungry"*12*. You mean business. You want to know how ordinary numbers suddenly changed to Chinese language before your eyes.*13*. Your friend is even kind. He started with BODMAS. He makes you understand nothing in Further Maths is beyond BODMAS. You are happy. Easy.*14*After two hours of learning, you got everything. Your friend should be a teacher you thought. He teaches better. Wow! You feel really good
