well even hikkis have to leave the house SOMETIMES. It's just a semantics thing, it'd be silly to argue over exactly how much you can leave the house and still be a hikki, the bottom line is that it's a problem.

Also, more congratulations on getting your permit =)

I wouldn't let math worry you about going to college. Even if you have to take a math class to get a history degree, you probably wouldn't need more than one, so you would only have to worry about it for one semester. There are low-level math classes offered at most schools, and if the school is worth anything you can find someone in the administration to help you plan your courses. If you think about it, the math barrier might just be an excuse you are feeding yourself so that you can reject going to college as an option. Disregard it.

If you are interested in history and humanities, then that means you must have some sort of interest in real human beings. School is fantastic for learning things about human beings. You don't have to be social at all to observe and learn from other people. When you take lectures you get to just listen to a person talk for hours and take in information in a way unlike any other. I learned a lot in my lectures and I don't think I even had to speak a word. It's great!

Saying that computers, books, movies, etc give you little reason to venture into the world is like saying "why eat anything else when I could just eat mcdonalds?" Computers, books and movies are great, but when you go outside and experience other things in the world you have more variety in your life. It may so happen that there is nothing out in the world that you enjoy more than sitting at home and reading, but if you trek around some, when you finally get home and open your book, you will enjoy yourself more at that moment than if you've just been reading all day up to that point.
