A rant about Math

Ever heard an asian failing at math? Well of course you have!! After all I AM that asian! Wows... wouldn't life be so much more easier if we didn't have math? In fact, life would be MUCH MORE easier if we didn't have to do anything! yes, yes... of course i know that that isn't possible. But it doesn't hurt to dream of the day that this could happen.

Anyways, this post is more about me failing math rather than the general topic of math it self.... So... today i had a math test, in first period, in my homeform, and IN an already stressful week.

Well on the night before the test (yesterday) I stayed up to 12 o'clock attempting to solve quadratic equations... yes... i'm dumb... and i lost sleep over it too.
First i want to state that being a procrastinator doesn't help anything at all. Being dumb like i usually am, i didn't start writing my math notes nor started studying until 8 o'clock. Smart much. I KNOW. Well... that left me around 3 hours to 11 to study..... very very smart tina >.>. Who do i blame? me? math? nope. I blame the word "procrastinator" I mean, its not my fault that my name is the word itself --> procrasTINAtor. After all, my parents should have researched what ridiculous words my name be part of. So there :D i prove my point, i'm just following the tradition of all the Tina's in the word (jks i'm just saying this to make me sound write)

Second, HOLY SMOKES Did I ever tell you that i regret taking enriched math? Just like before, since i'm so dumb, i THOUGHT that i was smart enough that i could rival the genius in my school at math. That was dumb wasn't it? Sure i'll beat the smart kids at math... for getting below 50 % on countless test.. After all, smart kids have to try REALLY hard to fail anything. Hopefully my exam mark raises my mark or else theres a chance that i might be taking grade 10 math again =.= how fun. Academic is definitely a must next year, screw learning fast and being smart like the rest of the asians. I prefer to actually understanding what the hell i'm learning!

Finally, studying with people who are in the same situation as you isn't one of the smartest ideas that you would ever have. We're all in the same boat=We're all struggling and failing together. Ahh... friendship bonds really amaze me =.=. If you want to work on anything that you don't get, call/message/write to the smartest kids or at least kids that know what teh hell their talking about. Or it would turn out like this:

Me: Hey! I don't get question 7. Can you help?

P1: sure. Let me have a go at it.

(10 mins later)

P1: I think I got it. I'll try explaning to you.

Me: Wait. What was your answer?

P1: 5

Me: Uh... thats wrong... the text book says its 52

P1: Oh really? Let me try again

(another 10 mins later)

P1: Oh wows. I don't get it! I need help too

Me: (thinking) *sigh* what a waste of time =.=

^Just how many of these convos can you take in a day?!!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

So this marks the end of the post for today. I apologize to the people who are offended by my writing.. and yes i am over exaggerating. But all good! At least i'm getting the point across :D

P.S Oh i forgot to mention... i'm suppose to be studying for my science test tmr... uh eyah.... half page of notes isn't really studying is it?
