I can't believe I was ever intimidated by math and natural disaster movies

Years ago I hated math, with a passion that was questionable.  Now though I seem to love it.  I think the majority of that was the teachers I had over the past four years.  Math, to me is an acquired taste and those that teach it, have to really love it.  It used to be where all those numbers and tests and formulas would about send me it to a frenzy and panic attacks, now I'm totally okay with it.  Even loving it.  The other day my aunt need help in her slope formulas and I kind of felt like that activity was fun, so who knew.  And yes I know, I am a nerd.  The other thing that intimidated me was natural disaster movies.  Movies such as Dante's Peak, Volcano, Twister, or Posiedon.  I was convinced that some how those events were going to happen in Anderson. Now that I'm older though I do realized there are places that have disasters that bad, but Anderson isn't in the location for them.  So now I'm okay with watching them.  Except Posiedon, that movie has made me never want to get on a boat.
