Abstract Extension in math and others

Everything more complex is just an abstract extension of the happy-stable system of mathematics we learnt and performed drills for in secondary school and JC. I've been having a hard time understanding, remembering, and (therefore) applying those abstract extensions. Not sure if that's going to change any time in future. For everything with me comes late.

The abstract extension of being/living with people can be understood as having to deal with different sorts of people after having enjoyed dealing with people whom one's comfortable with. That's what I'm doing right now with my housemates. Don't get me wrong though for they are perfectly fine ladies. Smart, good-looking, motivated, energetic, organised, thoughtful, helped me get light bulbs from Walmart, celebrated my birthday, you just name it. Gosh how picky I must sound. But chemistry is chemistry. And in my opinion, so far, there is not much of it between me and them. Or you can re-express chemistry in terms of cultural background, upbringing, spending habits, sense of humour, amount of talking and giggling, and leave out the expressions that disguise themselves in diplomacy (oh yes, birthday celebration is diplomacy. You've got a housemate, you feel hyper about getting together, therefore celebrating her birthday sounds as fine an occasion as any one else.). The result, as a confoundingly complicated classical problem in advanced math whirls down into a simple, elegant equation, is that I'm not clicking.

Now having to apply abstract extensions in both quarter-system math classes and housemate interaction is a little tough for someone who's even grudging the Californian sunshine. Yes that's me. Oh well I'm sure there're people who don't wanting to get as much sun. It causes skin cancer right? Besides, what's the sense in being thoroughly grateful for the sun when you get numb with cold five minutes after getting to shaded areas or air-con rooms?
