I'm thinking of posting an ad in the college newspaper. WANTED: infinitely patient, non-judgmental math tutor for student who is so bad with numbers they can't even dial a phone number correctly.
I think the only reason I haven't is because if the tutor turns out to be a boy I will probably try to marry them in a show of gratitude. Or because they're patient. Or because I would never again have to balance my own check book.
So this week's show + tell is decidedly un-pretty because I'm studying for my Quantitative Research Methods midterm. I'm determined to do well in this class. But you guys, that anti-feminist Barbie was not joking. Math class is tough (and party dresses are fun.)
UPDATE: I got an A! Take that, mathematicians.

iam extremely lame at math.
ReplyDeleteglad i didn't deal with math a lot in college
Math might be the reason I majored in English. And married an accounting major.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with statistics!
Me too, Katie! I managed to make it through my entire BA without taking a math course. (though, I sure am regretting that now.)
DeleteI took this class at my university last year and man was it a doozy! Best of luck to you! (And remember, you can always write little helpful hints inside the cover of your calculator :)
ReplyDeleteglad I'm not the only one, Natalie! Thanks for commiserating :)
DeleteI am so with you on math being ridiculously hard. I am struggling so much in my Trig class right now. It's like speaking Japanese to me!! GOOD LUCK!!
ReplyDeleteI took statistics twice, got a D the first time and an A the second. I blame my poor performance on my professor, I hope you are not stuck with a bad one. Try youtube videos and google, seeing how other people did the equations helped me a lot.
ReplyDeleteOh boo. I do not envy you! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hated math all through school and I'm relieved I'm done with that bully!!!
ReplyDelete+Not Just My Allegories+
Oh man. I remember that stuff and I do NOT miss it at all. Good luck! At least your notes are pretty.
