...semi-interesting aside...

As I said, I took the SAT once (never took the PSAT). Learned later that if I'd scored 20 points higher on on the math section, I could have completely skipped the fundamental skills requirement for math as a liberal arts major. So six hours when I was 17 could have saved me 50 hours of class time a few years later (plus study/exercise time -- call it 200 hours total).

Seriously. The equivalent of pre-calc in HS would have been enough to give me a pass on math all the way through my BA.

Seemed stupid then...it's one of the places where I'm glad requirements have stiffened up a bit. Not that I need math. It's not like I'm a programmer or anything...(oh, fuck)

Then again, if I'd have been disposed toward math the first time (15 vs 200), I probably wouldn't have been an English major.
