re: #99 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

I actually haven’t taken the math placement test at my school yet so I’m boning up on precalc.

I always loved math, I UNDERSTOOD algebra, Trig, Geometry. I KNEW why it worked, It made perfect sense to me. I LIVED for word problems on tests.

Then…. I hit Calculus. I had never hit a wall that hard, that fast. Got through the first semester with a ‘cookbook’ approach. Do this, do this, do this, get this answer… but not a clue why or what.

Second semester, I withdrew before the first exam (mid-term), since that way my transcript would read “Withdraw-passing” (since there hadn’t been any exams yet). I know if I had done it later it would have been “Withdrew-Failing”.

It was more than a bit humbling.
