I started my summer math class yesterday, and I'm already behind! I don't know if I'll be able to do this.
Today, I spent three hours in class, then two hours at the math lab, and I'm working on homework again now. (Well, OK, I'm typing on Babble now, but you know what I mean, right?) And I'm not going to finish the homework tonight, so tomorrow I'll still be behind. (We're going through two or three sections each day, and I'm about halfway through the third of the five sections we've covered so far. I'm not horrendously behind, and I will probably be able to catch up by Monday, and if I go to the math lab several days per week, I should probably be able to catch up every week. I'm just feeling stupid tonight.)
The instructor is very good, which is a relief after last semester's Not Good instructor. She's also very funny, although she has a fairly thick accent. Vietnamese, I think? But two to three sections per day, and a quiz EVERY day? Each quiz is worth 10 points, and I felt as though I surely got the first question wrong today. I don't know. I think I can do well in this class, but only if I can avoid getting overwhelmed by my fear of doing badly, you know?
ARGH! Why on earth did I sign up for this class??? Send me Smart Math thoughts, everyone, won't you?
