I have the dumb

I'm a student at a local college and I'm pretty much starting out. I've had the pleasure of taking algebra 1 and 2 over the past two semesters. I didn't think I could hate something more than algebra 1 or 2.

Boy, I was W-R-O-N-G.

Hello, College Algebra! Oh how I hate thee. I'm beginning to think this class was designed soley to humble a person. I thought I was fairly intelligent prior to this class. Now I look for my dunce cap on a daily basis.

My class is online and I can be heard around the world as I swear at my computer. I had been working on the same 27 problem homework for three, yes that's right three, days. Not only three days but a grand total of 7 hours.

Please, just let me pass this class.Then lucky me gets to take Probs and Stats. I wonder if I'll hate that more that College Algebra? I guess we shall see.

I wonder what the function is of a diaper change? Yeah, I'll never use this garbage again in my life..even if I move on to better things than diapers.

I asked my Algebra 1 teacher what the purpose is for these classes when chances are high most folks won't use them in the future. I was told, "They're to help you problem solve."

Last I checked, I could solve problems just fine without creating some algebraic equation. thankyouverymuch.
