I must be going crazy...

dchenesExtension School registration started yesterday, and I'm still debating with myself whether or not I want to take anything. It used to be that if I was going to take anything, I was going to take German, but now I'm debating about math.
I've started to wonder if the reason I hate math is because of the way I was taught it. I had a really good geometry teacher, and that was the only year I ever got consistently good grades in math. The less said about trigonometry, the better. The only thing I remember about algebra is that the book was yellow, and it was the bane of my existence. I don't think it was a very good math book in general, either. So I've started to wonder lately whether I might get anything out of taking another crack at algebra. It might not ever be fun, but at least now I'm not facing parental and collegiate-admissions disapproval if I don't do well with it.
On a semi-related note, why is it that math was the only subject that gave me assignments like "problems 1-12, 25, 27, 32, 36 and 39"? What's the deal with skipping around like that?
