oh man. in true lizzie school fashion, i enrolled in more classes than i can handle. i've dropped health care policy and health care documentation. i still have five classes and i'm still full time. someone help me!
i've never been very successful at math. i remember being in 1st or 2nd grade and crying in class because i couldn't understand whatever concept we were learning (it was probably 1st grade, and it was probably subtraction). i've always known that math was a bitch for me. i'm taking a math class now. i took a pre-assessment. out of 100 things i should have known, i knew 33. my professor emailed me and said that math 95 might be too advanced for me, as i'm struggling with concepts and much more behind than my classmates. she also noted that i will have to spend more time studying and working on problems than suggested in the syllabus, that she will be contacting me every week, and that i should meet with a tutor.
i've spent ALL weekend working on math. if i wasn't eating or sleeping, i was most likely doing math problems. danny has been helping me. since saturday night i've gone from 33/100 to 99/100 (currently waiting for danny to help me with the very last section). i have to take another pre-assessment tonight before midnight. and i'm not allowed to use a calculator. might i add my multiplication is a little awful, as well.
but i'll be damned if i don't prove that i can catch up. part of me feels like i'm only this far behind because i haven't had a real math class in over five years. the last time i took "real" math was when i was a sophomore in college. that would have been 2007.
anyway. i'm going to do as well as i can. i'll be happy with a B-. i'll be a little upset with a C+. i'll be devastated with anything below a C.
