Math + Me = Broken Pen

Posted by Tasm on May 3, 2006, 3:43 p.m.

I absolutely LOATHE math, but if I want any chance of becoming a programmer, of games or software, I need to know it. There's no way around it. Currently, we are working on Geometry postulates, where you have to explain step-by-step how to prove how two triangles are congruent. I have absolutely no idea how to do this homework. I can't pay attention in class because it's the first class of the day and it drags on for 80 minutes. I'm always tired, no matter how much I sleep. My teacher doesn't exactly make things more exciting either.

I actually attempted the homework, got to the second problem, and threw my book across the room. Upon the book hitting the wall, I crumpled up my paper, stabbed several holes through it with my pen and threw THAT across the room. Yes, I do have anger problems.

Anyway, there's my rant for the day. Sorry for wasting your time.

Math is awesome, I'm always bored in class though when there are lessons.

maybe it's not math itself, but my teachers. Last year I had 80+ average in math all year, this year I've already failed once. My teacher is an idiot, and even if I come in for help I find myself lost.

Math != fun, Math == an annoying obstacle I'll have to overcome in order to do anything in life.

Oh, you've GOT to do calc. It opens up SO MANY MORE random math quesitons you can do in your head. XD
Thats why I say there should be 10 periods on a day. For the past 3 years Ive had no study halls, and yet I still dont have enough time to take everything I want. I even have to take independent health to fit more subjects in. Last year(10th) I took so many classes that I had enough credits to pass(we need 25, I had 26). By the time I graduate Ill have over 35 high school credits and 4 college credits.

i'm in geometry also, and it's not super interesting, but it ain't that bad. My teacher's pretty cool too considering he doesn't mind all the shit we pull of in that class xD i've got like all my best friends in that class so it's like a party =D

None of my friends are in my math class, its mostly dumb seniors, like 5 juniors, and 2 smart sophomores. So it pretty much blows, well except for all the equations =P

Wow I just did one of those for review for my Math B Regents coming up. Easiest thing I ever did. Proofs are soooo00o0o easy, they are just like programming. Think about what you want to do then do it.
