			A once in a lifetime opportunity, and I have math class...
		
			
				
					I'm pretty irritated right now, but there's really nothing I can do...
 Author Ray Bradburry is speaking tonight, just a couple of blocks from where I go to school, and I can't go because I have math class.

					You know, if you think about it, math, in the larger scheme of things, is not really all that important.  
 On the other hand, he will speak again. Someplace. Somtime.
 
 It's a shame it's so close and yet so far away. Do your best focusing on your math.

					I think that Mr. Bradbury would be proud of you if you acted responsibly and attended your math class.
 I'd drop him a note and let him know about your noble sacrifice...he might just write you back.

	I wouldn't say that.  Math is vitally important in the world.  I use it every day.

 But, I would agree that an individual math class is not that important.  One can always make up that day, unless there is a test or something.
