well well. i really am sick today. am suffering from some funny stomach flu of sorts. while i am in pain, am also happy that got to skip math test today which apparently [surprise surprise] was uber hard.

conversation i had with brother last night after worrying terribly about stupid math test,

me: i don't believe i should ever need differentiation in my life - it makes no difference to me at all whether i've learnt it or not.
jon: it is always good to have some extra knowledge.
me: i don't even need it to become an accountant should i ever want to be one.
jon [in sudden outburst]: well, i am learning the menstrual cycle at school! do you think that is of any relevance to me? i bet you don't even know how the menstrual cycle works in detail! in what way am i to apply this to my life?
me: perhaps you might want to be a gynae someday.
jon: see, that's exactly it. perhaps one day you'll want to be a math genius.

i highly doubt so. a gynae is more so prospective for my brother [because after all he does like science] than a math genius is for me [in the first place i don't even have the makings]. and anyway, even if my brother isn't going to be a gynae - i should think that learning about the menstrual cycle helps brothers to deal with PMSing sisters.
