I never got a grade lower than a B- on any assignment in any course ever in my entire life. So this is a very new experience.

And this is a new theme song I’m suggesting that N. should adopt:

  1. Was it a driving test? Your previous posts about driving have been about you trying to learn the rules and them not sticking. DMV manuals are not the best textbooks for learning concepts because they are rule books. Whatever it is, maybe you are trying to memorize rather than to learn concepts.

    1. Oh, I forgot to say. 🙂 Yes, it’s driving. And yes, I’m trying to memorize stupidly. And that is not working. If I could, say, imagine the difference between 20 and 15 feet, I could remember which one is the distance you need to leave between the car and a fire hydrant. And when we get to 100 and 200 feet, things are even worse.

      I was recently insisting to a doctor that I’m 65 feet tall, so you can imagine.

      1. Most drivers’ tests don’t ask distance questions. I would have failed if I had to know the distances in feet. For the fire hydrant, it’s the distance to leave enough room for a fire truck to pull up there without blocking the cars from getting out.
