math

I sit at my laptop, struggling through my math assignment. I hit a question that seems nearly impossible to answer, for me at least. Then again, all of the problems have felt that way. It's a fill-in-the-blank. Fun. After reading and barely comprehending the question, I type "47" and hit enter. A text box appears on the screen. 

Hint: don't be such a dumbass.

I sigh and close the text box. I type another number, already aware that it will be wrong.

Hint: you're a real idiot, you know that?  

I close out again. Granted, the hints didn't actually say this, but the language is so foreign to me it might as well. Last chance, I have to make it count. Who am I kidding? I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I type in "I give up" and press enter. 

A bold red "x" appears on the screen as if to taunt me. I am presented the options "try again" and "next problem". I choose the latter. I close my eyes in defeat as a wave of sadness washes over me. I feel my eyelashes grow damp as two drops of water form in the corners of my eyes. Still, no tears flow. Just dampness and the feeling of disappointment.

I sigh, I can't do anything right. I can't do math. I can't be happy. Hell, I cant even cry correctly.
