Accounts. Just hearing that word my heartbeat hits 120rpm and a cold sweat breaks out... Not to mention I jus can’t stay awake. Paradoxical feelings make me think it’s the design of the Devil! Of course I'm wrong! There are a million accountants out there swearing by those numbers! Oh how I wish I could just gather all those textbooks, set them on fire and then throw that accounts lecturer in it. I’d watch her blaze and laugh (MWAHHWHHAHAHAAA!!!!!!)

Now before you think I’ve totally lost it, consider this: I sit through the first lecture on the very first day and then she walks in. I screw up my eyes in concentration, whip out the notebook, grip the new pen tight and wait for pearls of wisdom to pour forth. Five minutes into the lecture my eyes are glazed and my cerebral mass is all fused into one gooey mass like the ball of clay I suddenly find my attention and fingers riveted to. I make a table, a chair, a man (somewhat resembling me when high) and feel proud that my artistic skills haven't disappointed me... What’s that!? The lecture? Oh yeah.... that eventually got over, and ever since, I have never been able to understand a word of that gibberish! Japanese actually makes more sense to me! (FYI, it’s my Foreign Business Language)

Here I stand, all humble (and frustrated) that no matter what I do (I’ve tried studying, really!) I just can’t seem to break ice with the damn numbers! I’m like an autist, except that in my case its reverse, I can’t fuckin stand numbers. I hate them and I can’t live without them (money) so my predicament is something of a pain in the ass! As always, I tackle the problems in life head-on (that explains why my skull's so dented) but this one subject has me stumped. It’s beaten me, dragged my face in dirt and has even made me think I'm retarded (not too bad except that I cant live off my parents forever). Hence, with renewed vigor and commitment after the sobering incident today (Accounts mid sems), I, Lord of the Numbers, pledge to beat the Financial Geeks at their own game!!! Ciao, I’m off to party now… Maybe I’ll be Lord of the Numbers from tomorrow… or whatever…..
