Math Class
All my classes that I am taking this semester are a lot different than high school, but I think I am starting to get used to them, except for my math class. I have never in my whole life been good in math, but I was recommended to take Pre-Calculus with Trigonometry this semester. I was dreading this class ever since I was registered for it. My first day of that class, I walked in with my friend Ashley an parked myself in a seat. When the teacher walked in, he went straight to the board and wrote our homework assignments down. He began teaching and as I was trying to pay attention I kept thinking to myself that I had no idea what was going on. He said that all of what he was doing should be very easy and should be review. I had never seen most of it in my life. When the class finally ended and I made it home, I figured I would start on my homework. I tried to do as many as I could, but I just couldn't figure out where do start and what to do. My boyfriend finally made it to the house after work, and he offered to help. He helped me with most of them but even he couldn't figure out some of them. The next day I came home from my one class I had that day and tried it again. The following day was Thursday, which meant math class. So in between classes, I sat at a table in Goodwyn Hall and tried it again. I ended up just staring at the paper and watching everything else that was going on around me. As 3:20 p.m. rolled around, I made my way up to math class again. Before he started teaching I decided to ask him questions about the homework and I actually started to understand it. He started the class and this time I thought it would be a good idea if I asked questions when I started getting lost again. After the class had ended I felt a lot better about the homework and about the class, but it is still going to take a little bit of getting used to.
