Math Tastes Like A Rock

I said that math tastes like a rock because it's hard. =) Get it?

It's actually not that hard but with my teacher it is. I'll explain.
She'll make a simple question look as if it's rocket science but she doesn't confuse me because I have tutor. For the others they don't really get it and she told them that they need to study more.

Ms. Jovicic (Russian accent): You have to study 5 hours everyday, for each and every subject (she was serious)

Yifan (my friend): What? Who has time to study 5 hours?

Ms. Jovicic: Study on the weekends

Yifan: But there's 8 subjects. Look, 5 times 8 is 40 . THAT'S MORE THAN 1 DAY OF STRAIGHT STUDYING! WE NEED TO GO TO SLEEP. We only have 4 hours to sleep.

Ms. Jovicic: Oh, 4 hours is enough time.

Class: NO! What?

I still don't know if she was serious or if she was joking because she looked really serious.
She came to Canada at about 12 years old and didn't know any English so everyday after school when she's doing her homework she'll first translate all her work and study till midnight. Wow. Tough eh? But worth it.
