Math Sucks!

Haha... I will never forget my first day of AP math in high school... We body graphed to this Jimmy Buffet song. MATH SUCKS! And tonight, it's my anthem.

Really, though. It's killing me! I'm at least ten hours into this assignment and I just can't figure it out... We're supposed to be solving systems of linear equations by graphing, addition and substitution. There are the examples in the textbook, which relate to about half the problems. Our assignment is actually on a web-based program called MML+, which is incredibly sporadic and in-concise. This afternoon, I was solving and the problem was written in decimal form, to the tenths. The instructions said to answer in decimal form or an integer. So I answered in decimal form to the tenths. Nope. Says it's wrong. So I changed my answer to a fraction and resubmitted. Nope. Still wrong. After  you try twice, it won't let you try anymore, but it gives you the answer it's looking for. It rounded. It never told me to round anything! And on the next step of the same problem? Yep... It wanted a decimal! Make up your mind, stupid program!

I finally got the homework portion done and was feeling really good about it... I'd done some book work, since it was all I had to practice that wasn't crazy and I'd gotten all the book problems right. So I decided while I was still in the swing of it and feeling good, I'd take the quiz. In which I got a 40%. So frustrating! At least you get two attempts on the quiz and I have until tomorrow at midnight to get it done. So I'm headed to the learning lab in the morning for some help.

At least Comp and Psych haven't been so difficult and frustrating. Read a little, respond a little... Last night I actually watched a really interesting video on Feral Children for Psych... About a girl who's parents neglected her, so she basically grew up with her dogs and how much her lack of human interaction damaged her psychologically. We're having the nature vs. nurture debate... It's pretty interesting. And our composition class gave us permission to be bad writers for now, which is always nice. Lol! However, my high school Comp teacher invaded my textbook. I opened up the page and it said:

So what?

Just like that. Just like Luce used to write it on the top of my papers. I'm traumatized. I wanted to cry. But instead, I texted her a picture and laughed. Because I knew she would too. =] Not much else left to do for the week, so I'm hoping that I can finish everything tomorrow night and take the weekend off. The other day I created this nifty little organizer, where I can list what's due each day for each class and highlight everything once it's completed... I'm rather enjoying loking at it and seeing only a few things left, but I'll be much happier when the stupid math quiz is crossed off!
