Relatively, I am absolutely terrible at math.
Although I've known that for a while, that notion was reeeeeeally hammered into my conscious at Infinity Math's meeting. I knew all the methods used to solve all but 2 (those were uber long proving ones) problems, I just...would never think to apply them in that way xD
This is terrible because
A, in the short term, I have to write all the gr 12 contests this year. I'm essentially paying $12 for Euclid just so I can add "Participated in the Euclid Contest" to my resume for university. It'll be amazing if I get past the first question haha.
B, in the long term, I'm gonna become an engineer. Engineers need math like fishes need water "orz I shall somehow master enough math to get me to a management position so I can order the technicians around haha.
This is starting to sound really depressing, so I have come up with a plan of survival:
Frieeeeeeends, they are a bunch of really amazing people (at math) :]
Read the textbook by Christmas. I'll read all the examples so least I'll have an idea of how to approach a problem. Not gonna go as far as doing practice problems because my will power can never stretch that far "orz
I believe this is my first school related rant for this school year.

come to me, donna, and davids tutor 8D
Then actual math class will be so pointless and boring D:
Use that time to catch some Z's. Like I did. Of course I ended up failing, but that's another story.
x3 + y3=(x2 - xy + y2)(x + y) , not (x2 - 2xy - y2)(x + y)
just thought id put that out there.
Thank you Austin.
You better be in my class next year XD
