who thought nicole would be blogging about doing well in college...
Well, today I went to take this Math placement test. I got there at like 3:40 and the place closes at 4 apparently, I told the lady that today was the only day I could come. Well there're two tests you can take. One to get into lower level classes and Stats... or one for calculuses. So she asked which I wanted, and I said the harder one, since I have to take calculus at some point anyway. Well I could get a really low grade and still take Stats...
Well she said there wasn't enough time, and I would need most of an hour, at least. I told her I took tests quickly and asked if I could just give it a shot. Well she let me. I walked out 12 minutes later with my results and she tabulated it. Then she's like, well, you aced it. Do you love math? I laughed and said no. She then went on to say how no one has ever taken it so quickly and aced it, anyone who got a perfect score usually took over an hour.
I am not sure what my point is, except I am glad I am still smart. My classes do not confirm that, ever. I wish there was a GED for college, because I am pretty sure I could get it. So the test says I could go into calc II or III. Well how come I couldn't do well in calc I? The answer is that I can only learn math from myself, and I didn't have enough time or a decent book.
Anyway that was a very nice way to end the day... I was shocked. She was so amazed, it was cute/nice. It also really makes me question staying here and majoring in what I am majoring in. Maybe I should go elsewhere and start over... I don't know.
The rest of the day sucked though.
