*sigh*

It’s around 2:40am right now, and I simply don’t feel like sleeping. Although my eyes tell me otherwise. It’s funny how your mind feels one way but your body hints the complete opposite — who should I listen to?!?

These last two weeks, I failed two tests — the Chemistry test that I mentioned last time, and my math test. The chem test failure was expected… I mean, this is a crappy teacher we’re talking about. I didn’t do as bad as I expected, but it’s still a failing grade.

Fortunately, I’ve been reading a lot in my chem book recently, as it’s the only solution to this crappy-teacher crisis. It seems to be working well, but I need to read more. Lectures don’t do crap for me, and 99% of the class tends to agree, which may also explain the recent decrease in my attendance rate. >_>

… well, let’s just hope that the textbook will actually save me on the next test (and, heaven forbid, the final), otherwise, this’ll be in vain.

As for my math test, I’ve no excuse. It’s a struggle, a challenge… a real challenge. It ain’t no walk in the park, this differential equations course. It seems I bit off more than I can chew when I chose this 300 level course as a freshman who’s only supposed to be taking 100 levels. I seem to be doing this quite often, maybe because I’m still nineteen and therefore feel invincible.

Nonetheless, it’s a struggle worth overcoming. Most of the little boys back at my high school are practical enough to struggle with only algebra II I and be done with it.

As for me, well, I only need calculus, but I’m already beyond that. Impracticality FTW!

Still, I plan to pass the course, provided I get more studying on the material done… and that’s assuming I don’t put too much time in my newly acquired dan tranh!
