To withdraw or not to withdraw: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous math equations,
Or to take arms against a sea of numbers,
And by opposing end them? To withdraw: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand trinomial factors
That dyslexics cannot control, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To withdraw, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that nap of afternoons what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this algebra class,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long class;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of math,
The professor's wrong, the obnoxious classmates contumely,
The pangs of despised exponents, the test's delay,
The insolence of students and the spurns
That patient merit of the failers takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare textbook? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary course compass website,
But that the dread of something after class,
The undiscover'd problems from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus math does make lunatics of us all;
And thus the native hue of finding solutions
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair calculator! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my equations solv'd.
Okay, so that's not the best parody in the world, but I tried.
Basically, I'm considering withdrawing from my algebra class to save my GPA...and to keep from having an F on my transcript. I have been trying so hard to learn and understand this stuff, but I just don't think I can do it. I've had countless tutors and countless friends explain it to me, but nothing sticks. My advisor is sending me to disability services to be tested for dyslexia! Crazy...
