I hate it when you try to study but your brain won't absorb any more, then you take a break, come back and find that there's a whole buncha stuff that you didn't go over. >_>;
 
Well, I'm finally done with that monster of an exam... and if all goes well I won't have to see that class or that ancient dinosaur of a professor ever again :P

Now to switch modes from studying to packing up my stuff so I can get out of my dorm.
 
I went from marine biology -> author -> musician -> chemist -> game design -> culinary arts -> plain ol' illustration. Now I can't decide if I want to focus on medical illustration or sequential imaging, both of which would require changing schools which means more loans and more headaches.

I should be thankful that out of my six courses this semester, I only have two midterms/finals, and next semester I'll only have one (I think). On the other hand...it's incredibly boring for somebody like me, who was one of the three people that thoroughly enjoyed both chemistry and physics and high school.
 
Chemistry and physics were moderately easy... but I knew that I didn't wanna do those for a living, since I've never felt that I'd be precise enough to work with chemicals, and I always kinda felt that too much math (which Physics at the high school level was for me) would fry my brain over. That, and I had already resolved to do something computer related by my freshman year.
 
I love physics, we did some ball experiment and I got badly hit on the face. But it was pretty funny! xD
 
I'd rather more work that I understand than less work I don't understand.
 
I'd get more work that I dont understand, you know, I could be more successful in exams. XD

This. @_@ Even if there's a heavy workload, at least you're getting it so you can get it done. If you don't know what you're doing and you don't have enough extra work to help reinforce concepts... you'll just end up failing later on when things build upon that knowledge you... don't have. D:

I'm like this with algebra. There's certain parts I understand, and then most of it's basically like a foreign language to me. Biggest problem I have with it is that the moment I grasp one concept, more and more shortcuts, letters, numbers, and perfect squares, etc, are added and I get confused. :|

Makes me wonder why some people don't ask for help when they get stuck.
 
I used to never ask for help when I'd get stuck. Sometimes I still don't and by the time a test comes along, I'll finally get the early-on stuff just from sheer practise but everything else has taken a backseat and I end up not doing so well. XD;

I'm very stubborn and I hate knowing I'm wrong so asking for help was always a hit to my ego and it can be hard to do. u_u;

Yeah I feel like that a lot too but at the end of the day if I don't ask questions when I don't understand something then why am I even at school? :( I mean I always think like, "yay topic is over move on to the next one and forget everything i just learnt!!" but that doesn't help me much. XD

I use to have a problem with asking for help, and I still kind of do. When I asked a question it had always made me feel like I was stupid, so I would never ask and think the thing would go away. And they would most of the time, but then I would take a test and Bam! There was the thing I didn't understand, so they do come back to haunt you.
 
I rarely ask for help, especially now that I'm in grad school since 75% of the professors I've had don't seem interested at all in helping students. They leave you to pretty much fend for yourself :/
 
I hated Maths (And still do), i've never been any good at it =( /nothingproductivetoaddtotheconversation

TWO days off work for meeee! Guess who won't be sleeping xD
 
Math used to be my favorite subject. Needless to say college ruined it for me :/

And I have the day off too! Gonna be watching anime and burning DVD-ROMs :p
 
Math is my favorite subject along with History, it just blows my mind. I just enjoy learning new content and putting my hands with my brain to work to solve a problem, it feels pretty rad when you are done solving the problem.
 
I always loved Math and Science. Easily my two favorite subjects. I thought Science was better than Math, though. I always got good grades in Science, too. I got good grades in all of my subjects, but did outstanding in Science.
