Well, my life changes are working out really well. I have more energy every day. I get tired at a normal time, and I’m awake the entire day. I feel less stressed by far. The last piece of stress for me to conquer is my math class. I have been doing terrible in this class. I’m doing great in my other two classes, but my math class repeatedly returns my work with low scores. I need to strap in and focus more heavily on this class. I have to get at least a C to get rid of it as a requirement. This will be my goal. I must say though, not having your homework assignments for a class until 3-4 days before they’re due is really a pain. Our teacher is inconsistent in posting the work and is notorious for posting extremely long assignments. The entire class expressed this fact and the assignments have been reduced to ~30-45 questions a week. It’s much better than the ~50-60 we received the first two weeks. On some occasions the professor posted a 50-60 problem assignment on Friday and wanted the assignment due on Monday. I mean come on, talk about setting students up for failure and presuming that they have nothing better to do over the weekend than do math. How hard can it be to just randomly pick 30 problems and write them on the web site. I would guess that’d take me about 20-30 minutes. That’s nothing compared to the 2-4 hours it takes to actually do those problems. Meanwhile our TA acts as though everyone that is normal memorizes the textbook each week. So our quizzes have 4 questions that you don’t even understand. The students also brought up this fact and slowly the quizzes are coming back down to earth. I hope I’m not too late to reverse what I’ve done to my grade thus far. We just took the midterm and that will tell me the most since it’s worth 25% of our grade. If I bombed that I have no chance in passing the class.
