Eh, so summer school is about to end and I'm most likely going ot get a D in my math class. Sucks XTRA LARGE big ones because of the tests. They're 50% of our grade and the teacher grades really hard for every single little thing. Last night I studied for like 5 hours because I had a test today and I need to do good. BUUT the stuff has to do with rational expressions and they have all this factoring stuff that I don't mind just takes so fucking long and we only have an hour for 20 problems and these problems today had so many parts to them that I didn't want to get lost and so I used up all my time on the first 13 and then I have like fucking 7 I didn't even touch and 1 I was going to go back and do. I think she should have considered how much time factoring would take since we only have had it for like a few days in class and not all of us are geniuses at math. And I was never good at math so working problems takes me a long time because I just don't see what to do right away sometimes. So there goes my efforts for trying to get ahead in math. But if I have on thing to say, I have learned some stuff in her class that I didn't get before. But man, if you go on ratemyprofessor.com, she has 90 ratings from past students and most of them are terrible ratings. Everyone hated her class. eek. I just hate doing more work than I have to because I don't like math. It's my weakest subject and I have never failed a college course and I don't want to now because I like my GPA. And I think its embarressing even though I tried. But its summer school and its like, you better get with the program and fast. It's 16 weeks of school boiled down to 6. I mean, I have like four hours or more of homework per night and I do my homework and it only counts as 5% of my grade and I hate that because its like you spend so much time doing the problems and its not really worth anything. I know I should have sat down and practiced more and plus I never knew how to study for math and I'm mad now because its like I get it and its too late. I have 3 more days and the final counts 20% versus the tests that are 50%. Maybe I should stop beating myself up.
