After receiving my schedule for second semester, I knew something was terribly wrong. I was enrolled in three classes, two of them credit earning. I was supposed to be enrolled in at least six classes...but after fixing it, I ended up with eight.
Yes, after much contemplation, I decided I'm going to try calculus once again. I have found this year that I'm missing math. So much that I try to do weird problems mentally. Only they don't work. I don't know how to write problems, and after last night, I don't remember how to solve them either.
So, I will be studying hard over the holidays and the few weeks before second semester starts. I hope I will be caught back up by then. If I'm not...all well...I'll work all the harder, right?
So, calculus, how do I love you?
1. Your problems seem to apply to real life. (Wow, a ladder slipping, and sliding away from the wall...I wonder how fast it's slipping? Let me write down a problem, and I'll figure it out!)
2. You make me feel intelligent when I can successfully tell you where there is a "hole" in a function, or the limits...but I'm afraid a very little amount of people care where limits are on a curvy, wavy line...
3. You help me kill time I don't have with your incomprehensible mysteries.
4. You make me appreciate mathematicians.
5. You give me more knowledge on how to manipulate a TI-calculator.
6. You give me more knowledge, period.
But, I'm afraid, calculus, that you make me cringe in one area: The AP test itself. Then I begin to hate you.

Then don't take the AP test. Just take the class to learn calculus! Or, maybe after taking it a second time, you will decide that you love it and it isn't too bad, so you will take the test. Calculus was so much fun! Enjoy!
I wish I loved calculus.
I wish I loved a lot of things.
When are you going to have ANY time to yourself, crazy girl! When are you going to do homework? Between swimming, coaching, and school I never get to see if you are alive and now when you are alive you will be doing homework. Crazy. I am trying to think of a supportive way to end this comment but all I can think of to say is crazy. Crazy crazy crazy.
Imagine--taking a class in high school just because you love it? Absurd, unthinkable....
You make me laugh! The best part about taking calculus, is that you get Mr. Lake again! Mr. Lake: One of the craziest teachers ever!
I had a comment for utefan but couldn't send it because I can't remember all that password stuff. Tell her to let anonymous and other comment!
