This one's gon' be 'bout classes. I really tried to make all of the words one syllable, but then "class'" becomes ambiguous.
Okay so I'm pretty much a) already feeling like I did senior year in terms of stress and ya'll know I wanted to kill myself the whole time and b) slipping pretty badly.
Let's start out with my calculus class and get that over with. MAT 104. One of the lower mathematics courses according to my general survey of other freshman (most are taking multivariable calculus or higher). Started almost precisely where we left off in calc last year so that wasn't a big problem. But look. I can't learn when all a "teacher" is doing is speaking at me, throwing around words that I don't understand and symbols that we all pretty much have to ask about. I'm not completely alone in my incompetence, which makes me feel slightly better since it IS gosh darn Princeton. But the last homework I got a 5/10. A 5/10!! If I had half assed it, that would be okay. BUT I WORKED MY ENTIRE ASS OFF ON IT. I used the study guide and followed instructions exactly. I have no idea what went wrong because I haven't brought myself to look at it yet. On our weekly quizzes the highest I've ever gotten was like a 60 or something. Okay it's 3 problems. And there is hardly any partial credit. And there is severe grade deflation. But still, I wish there were an easier way.
Then there is my philosophy class that I'm taking to rid myself on a requirement in the place of taking music theory which was closed. PHI 201: introductory Logic. This class is both easy and hard. It's very weird. I got a perfect score on my first assignment but I legitimately half assed my second one but worked a little harder on my third one but i have yet to get them back. We'll see. I'll either do well or fail this course. I also skipped a lecture and precept (twice) because of napping, but more on that later.
Spanish. SPA 108 advanced spanish I hate this class. I don't really know why. It's a lot of work that I just don't enjoy. 50 minutes of trying to understand every word ahhhhhh. I hate this class.
I'm so tired.
Um.
COS 126. This class gives me death. What frightens me is that no one in this class seems to be having a problem. I pull all nighters for this class. It's hard!! But I have an okay grade so far.
okay I'll finish this later I be tired.
