So I'm talking to K on the phone before, about a whole lot of things including our shared hope that she can get through her math class this semester, which means she would never ever ever have to take a math class again as long as she lives. Talking also about our shared inability to conceive of any mathematical concept. And she describes herself sitting in math class like this:

"Sometimes," she says, "it's like in my head I can hear the sound of footsteps, then a door slamming and a car starting, and my brain calling back 'I'm OUTTA here!"

I bonded with the new vice-principal this morning over Star Trek. But I still don't trust her.
