Gotta love math...I'm taking my last math class EVER next term up here at college.  If any of y'all out there want to be engineers, I hope you like math...because you get a lot more of it.  I'm no math genius, so you don't have to be super smart at math in order to be a good engineer, but you have to at least be comfortable with it.

The worst math I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of learning deals with combining calculus and trigonometry.  I actually like calculus (it's very useful in the real world), but man, when you take trig identities and start putting them in integrals, it's rough.  *shudder*  Damn trig subs.

Nag, the offered Pre-Algebra in sixth grade where I'm at, and I don't imagine it'd be that big of a step to put in Algebra (they usually take it in 7th). I do know a girl who's taking Geometry in 7th grade though...

Poor me is stuck taking Algebra in the 8th grade with a perverted teacher.

Nope :-P... I started with pre-alg in 6th, pre geometry in 7th grade, algebra 1 in 8th grade, geometry in 9th grade, algebra 2 in first semester 10th grade, algebra 3 in second semester 10th grade (now), and in theory my junior year they'll run me through pre calc and calc, then senior year they'll put me through pre-trig and trig...

That seems a little bit backwards to me. Trigonometry plays a critical role with antidifferential/integral calculus (assuming you get that far) so you may want to ask if you can switch those around in your schedule...
