So, class started today…
and it kinda sucks. I had a nice “math-free” schedule planned for this semester and it was great. About 2 nights ago, I got a call from Gadsden State saying that my Mon.-Wed. economics class had been dropped due to a lack of students enrolled. I frantically ran to the computer to register for another because I already paid for 12 hours and I wasn’t about to waste money. I wanted to get a class in the same time slot and days, as to not fuck up my pretty awesome schedule. As I was reading through the classes, the only thing that would go in that slot…was the dreaded math 112. I have never had an interest in mathematics and never really cared to let any knowledge of it soak in. Don’t get me wrong, I can do common sense everyday math, but I just can’t think of a job I will have in which some one will run up to me screaming ” Oh My God, a meteor shower will reign down upon us and destroy the earth as we know it unless you can solve for C in this equation!” But to keep the schedule flow, I enrolled. The teacher is….well, he LOVES math. He tells math related jokes and is just way too into it. He did like 8 3-part examples for us today of the “basics” and when I looked at my notes, it’s a if I were reading Russian. Everything started to run together and my head became a whirlwind of numbers and letters. He gave our first homework assignment at the end of class. He said it was just a few problems to get our minds going. 87 fucking equations! I can already tell I’m going to suck at this class. It’s not so much that I’m terrible at math, it’s just that my senior year math teacher was a coach and chess connaisseur and spent most of his time focusing on those aspects of his life and not the work. Not to mention, it was the last period of the day so he was just ready to leave that hellhole. So I haven’t had a decent math lesson since junior year. But whatever, as long as I can scrape by with a C I’ll be happy. Well, it’s off to work I go, Goodbye.
