   I was very good at math and still am, but Algebra was a whole 'nother animal   
   and my professor didn't care if I made a passing grade or not.  I was in a   
   room withe 39 other guys and I was in the back of that room and couldn't hear   
   what he was saying.  I tried getting his attention, but he ignored me.    
   Looking back, I should have reported him to the principle.
