I still have nightmares about math classes growing up.
It just doesn't click for me. I made it to trig in high school and dropped the class after being lost on day 1. I didn't need it... not really sure why I signed up for it in the first place. But the point is, I've never done well in a math class before. Hand me the guidelines to a massive research paper, and BAM! Done. And with an easy A. But math? This shiz is for the birds.
As sad as it is, I started with Elementary Algebra this semester. I could've taken Intermediate because once upon a time I took a "Business Math" at the same college and it qualified me for it. But lezzbereal here.....
I would've been shooting myself in the foot.
I needed to start FROM THE BEGINNING, square one, where stuff is spelled out and familiar. I got through some Algebra classes in high school, but that was like, um... a bajillion years ago. Furreal. So Elementary it was, and I'm not regretting it one bit!!
This was my unit 2 test. Granted, you can see that the first couple problems weren't hard, but I STILL GOT AN A!! That's really all that matters. Oh, and out of the 100 points, 2 that I missed were a very stupid addition error. Der. So I'm proud of this, despite how simple it is to others.
I'm currently holding onto an A in this class, and our unit 3 test is this week. After that, we'll have a comprehensive final (yes, this makes me nervous). There aren't any requirements for this class... if I get a C, I'll still move on to the Intermediate. But I want to try REALLY hard to understand every little thing, hoping that it will spill over into the next semester, and the next.
So I just wanted to take a minute to brag. I know, for a fact, that there will be tears at some point next semester. I know that I won't always pull As from tests, but I had to celebrate the moment.
I'm actually doing okay in a math class. For once.
