I’m sorry… I don’t understand the question.

Today I started College Math. Ughh… That is not a rsponse in disgust of mathematics, that is a response in disgust of the class. To make this a simple explanation: Math comes easy to me. Algebra, easy. Geometry, easy. Trigonometry, easy. Statistics, easy. It isn’t until I get to Calculus that I actually have a challenge.
I’m not trying to be arrogant about this, it’s just true. I’m smart. This class, not so much. I am too smart to be taking this class, and I have an entire month of it. It isn’t even Algebra II, where I might at least enjoy myself with slight complexities in equations. This class is Algebra I, a class I finished in 7th Grade. I asked to clarify, just to understand my impending suffering. So far today we have discussed the Real Number System and Fractions. Golly (I can’t wait to shoot myself)! I even called out the teacher when he was explaining sets and inclusiveness. The most “difficult” part of this class’, aside from me tearing my eyes out, will be “…probably rational expressions.” That was a direct quote.
Tomorrow I will discover how easy my other class will be. It’s subject: Computers, Science, and the Internet. If math is easy for me to figure out, this subject does my work for me. One of the projects… strike that, the Final Project in my “CSI” course: A simulated computer build. If you know me, then you know my reaction to this and are probably laughing as well. $1,500 budget and a requirement of using 5 different sources to purchase parts. <– Fuck that. I’m going to argue that down to two since the Course Director must be a moron: NewEgg & TigerDirect.
This entire month is a buffer to me. The simplest GPA booster since Broadcasting in High School. I’ll update my frustrations after class tomorrow. Boredom has set in.
