The Dread of My Life

Calculus. That sums up most of the problems in my life at the present. Calculus. Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful that we have it in this world because it is essential, but I hate it all the same!! This week we have been learning an especially difficult concept called Optimization. All I can say is thank heavens that my older brother Ammon understands it and is willing to teach me, or try to teach me :) This Saturday Ammon and I spent literally 7 1/2 hours on two assignments. My brain was on fire, I had a headache, and I had hardly gotten ready for the day at all. Ammon thanks so much!!! I could not have done it without you. The funny thing is, even though we spent that long we could not figure out some of the problems. Isn't that ridiculous?!! I am counting the hours I spend in that class until Christmas Break... wow, only 61/2 hours of class time.... who knows how much homework time?? So there you go, the trial of my life. The cool thing about this whole class is that if I pass the AP test it is possible that I will never have to take another hard math class again. Hoorah!! The only question is, Can I make it through till May?? As bad as I want to transfer out, I want to try to conquer this. With the help of Ammon and Heavenly Father, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.... Wish me luck!!
