Wrapped up all my ground classes here at the flight school for my private and part of my commericial pilot licence. So now I get to drive across town to the gen-ed classes with all the tech students. Much like Billy Madison, classes are a month long. Since i've been out of school for some time I must have really sucked it up on my placement test cause they've started me in introductory algrebra. I guess next month I advance to 7th grade? I'm sitting here doing homework and I have to say I feel like a fucktard for not knowing some of this math. I spent 6 years doing survey math problems taking a hellish state test to get my licence and now I get stuck on fractions!

I liked math until I hit Calc, then everything went down hill for about two weeks. Then I started stutying like a **********er, no parties and ****, and now it's a piece of cake.

Calc sucks big time. I'm in Calc II right now...I can't wait for Taylor Polynomials, I've been wanting to do them for my whole life.



I mean seriously, who uses this ****?

I never took the PLS part, but I took the SIT and failed by 5 points. I was already preparing to get out of the business anyways so I never bothered to retake it. If you asked me 2 years ago though, I might have taken you up on your offer.

I'm glad I don't have to take any more calc...I didn't like it very much.
