Okay, I have 1018 km left on my flight, and I am sitting here in silence. So, let me tell you about something that is SO annoying on this flight. I'm sitting here reading my book (Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson) when the flight attendant comes around and offers me a glass of Coke. Now, one thing you need to know about me is there are few things in life I love more than Coke - my dog, my family, my house, carbonara, and lime cordial. So, of course, I say yes.
Now, I am used to a 300 ml glass of Coke, so when I get a small glass of Coke, I'm fine with it. But I finish it in 2 minutes and I get a second Coke. This time, I do the math. The height of the Coke in the glass was 4 cm vertical and 6 cm in height. Now, let me do the math equation: 300 / (4 x 6 x 3.14). So that was the equation I was working with, and I worked it out, and it equaled 4. That means I would need to drink 4 of these glasses to equate to one can.
What's the moral of the story? When your teacher says you'll need to use math in the real world, yes, yes you will.
P.S. The flight on Air Mauritius was really, really good, like almost better than the high-end planes.
P.P.S. There are 13 minutes until I di- I mean land, and my ears are throbbing, and I can barely hear anything. There is a gosh-darn BABY screaming in the middle of the flight. Like, come on!
