I really dislike math.

So my latest classes are Intro to networks and Contemporary mathematics. The network class is fine. I breeze through it pretty easy since it’s a lot of what I do in work. The last assignment was to explain how to network 4 older computers. I think I was able to do that one in about an hour (most of it was just writing and fluffing the paper up, 2 pages of “Use a switch and 4 cables”). Sadly the class I am having the most trouble with is the Math class. The first assignment was all graphing and parabolic exponential lines and stuff. Lee and Doc and Arik did their best to help me out but all I heard was “X to the nth power minus 5 over Y and that’s the graph!”

Huh?

Yeah, so that didn’t work out so well for me. I called up a friend and got a sit down session where she was able to point at the graph and explain “It’s this because of this!” This process took about 4 hours to it into my head, and I was hurting afterwards, but I understand it now. I got my next assignment and I am going to try and get that done before the weekend so I am not as stressed out about it. Quadratic equations! YAY!

Aside from all of that, the weekend was pretty non-exciting. There are just too many stressors weighing down on me as of late. We did manage to get away to see Pirates of the Caribbean 2. I really liked it. They kept many of the same character types and the story was very well done. There is only one thing that would have made the movie that much better.

SEEING THE REST OF IT!

I feel like I have only seen half a movie! Or like when your favorite show is nearing season finale and they leave a gigantic cliff-hanger until next season. Overall the movie was good. Now I am just going to have to buy it right before the next one comes out so I can re-cap. Damn you Disney!

  1. I hate Math too – maybe we can form an “I Hate Math” club and beat people with it whenever they say something like, “Oh, but it’s easy . . . all you do is subdivide the integer by the factored equation and exponentially infer the square of the circumference” – or something like that.
