Title goes here....
been forever and a day since i ever felt like typing anything here. Was convinced i probably wouldn't update this ever. But low and behold a reason to post here has risen.
Truth be told i am scraping by this semester. Computer Science class is going excellent, Linear Algebra i am getting by fine in....but Economics and Physics are another matter.
Physics is probably where i am worse off but atm it is a toss up. I've been slacking off EXTREMELY in both classes...my attendance is horrible...i've probably been to each of them maybe 3 times all semester...each of them test or review days. I keep putting off studying till the last possible minute...in fact i just finished all my reading for today's Eco test (we'll see how i do).
Physics is the real struggle of this semester...the material should be easier than it is i think but for some reason i can grasp the concepts in the text...and work a few problems and follow the examples with relative ease....then i hit the test and even though it is open book i can't seem to find anything to help me in the text :/ I've got a few days (5 actually) to drop the class if i need too, but at the same time i am not sure if i should or if i can really for finacial aid concerns...
I like being in college...i currently enjoy my major and what it entails...but i'm finding it REALLY hard for me to stay focused on my studies. And i've noticed this trend for years and just can't seem to change it. I've always taken 12 hours of classes...but in some way or another only manage to either complete or "pass" 9 of them...it's always 1 of my 4 classes that i can't seem to make myself care enough about until it's too late.
There are a number of factors that i can readily identify that cause me to do this and by typing this up i'm trying to correct some of them and in a way get someone to help me (coughLinhcough) do something about it.
Tired...and i have forgotten the other point i wanted to make here...instead all i can think of is pure competition, monopoly, marginal costs, and marginal revenue....which i can guess is a good thing :/
to be continued.
(EDIT: Read the Syllabus for physics again while bored and unable to sleep...turns out if i can pull at least a 55 in the class i can get a C....so fuck dropping it i think i can pull a 55 or better easily lol.)
