An F? Seriously?   I think you need to hook up with a tutor my friend! Speaking from current personal experience, sometimes a tutor isn't enough. Right now I think a lobotomy is the only thing that would help me.  I've spent hours studying (with and without a tutor!), and it's just not sinking in. Not every tutor is the same since not all tutors can adapt to the learning style of their clients. There are many myths as to why people are unable to learn math; perhaps you can see yourself in one or more of them? From the University of Alabama: Performance in mathematics courses often is undermined by faulty beliefs regarding the subject and one’s own abilities. These erroneous beliefs — or Math Myths — hamper both effort and self-confidence and should be examined in order to acquire a more productive approach to mathematics. http://www.ctl.ua.edu/CTLStudyAids/StudySkillsFlyers/Miscellaneous/mathmyths.htmI always find it interesting how many reasons people create when I tell them I'm struggling in Math. Person A: "You're struggling in Math because you don't have a tutor." Me: But I have a Tutor. Person A: "Are you paying them? You should never pay a tutor." Me: I'm not paying them. I go to the Student Learning Center and a woman from my parish who has her degree in Mathematics is helping me. Person A: "That's the problem, you should pay a tutor. They will help you." My favorite is my father's line. "How can you not understand this? This is math for idiots!" Thanks Dad. Love you!  I don't understand why it's unacceptable to not be good in math? As the website indicated, no one thinks less of a person if they are not musically gifted, but because I suck at Math, I'm some kind of idiot? Well, I have news for you. I'm great in music, but suck at Math. Unfortunately, the Dean of the College doesn't care, and I need to pass the class to graduate. I'm going to take the class over in the summer, back to back with Statistics. Hopefully I'll do better. That's what my mom said, too! Then again, my test was multiple choice... and I tried plugging the answer in, really! |

Well, I have news for you. I'm great in music, but suck at Math. Don't ask me to carry a tune.  At least at my College, Music 101 wasn't a requirement.  Unfortunately, the Dean of the College doesn't care, and I need to pass the class to graduate. I'm going to take the class over in the summer, back to back with Statistics. Hopefully I'll do better. Good luck to you.... I wish it was! I just recorded an album, and U'll make a new thread/post for it. It's guitar/instrumental.  ANYWAYS... Yeah, uh. I'll try harder next time. Go slower. Or something. |

Ahh, 2AM, and I'm still up. Another sleepless night, mayhaps? Yes, I think so. But for how long will I sit in front of this darn computer waiting for people to post, when I could be off reading or doing something else constructive. Ahh well, at least I'm also listening to music while I wait.

haha I can't sleep either, wait I don't want to sleep I'm enjoying my time off. I guess I'll sleep really hard tomorrow night but until then I'm up, you can't buy back the hours you're not working for the man. |

It'll be a digital release. an hour of me goofing off on an unplugged guitar. Everything else I have is "black metal", and something I am not now really proud of it - I do admit it's good music, still. |

Of Course! What an awful deterrent to sinning then! I'd love to be a pulsar. Just for the fun of it, I'd toy with the SETI people. |

So sinners are going to become collapsed stars that emit EMR? Of Course! At least they'll look pretty! On a related yet unrelated side note (after all, this is the random postings thread) I've really enjoyed the images from the Hubble Telescope in my Astronomy class this semester. They are just so beautiful! It's mind blowing (to me, anyway) that we can have such wonderful images transmitted to us all the way from space! The more I learn about Space and the Universe, the more amazed I am at God's creation. And on a further tangent... I am really tired right now. I had a Biology exam at 7:30 this morning, so I've been up since 5. I asked if I could get my Café Americano served intravenously at Starbucks, but they weren't willing to accomodate me.  |

I'm flying to the mother land tonight. Pray for me.
Prayers for you, and I hope you have a nice trip. I can only add to these prayers, and do share pictures if you can... I'm Polish/Ukrainian |
