Yeah, time for some introspection. Last Friday, we had a test -- I didn't do too well. The problem is that it was half Trigonometry and Logarithms; those are two areas I'm very weak with. I'll confess that I didn't know the trig circle until I noticed the numerous patterns in it. Now, I can derive all the values from it. Also, I'm going through the math 40s website sheets. I'm going to so some of the green book to complement that material with the main exercise sheets. It's obvious that I am not doing enough work. And, to remedy this, I''ll do more work.
The good news? I'm actually doing it. I got through many of the trig sheets and I'm onto the log sheets. I'm well off when it comes to Compressions with Expansions and Perms & Combs. I feel that I need to do more work in all those areas, but the areas that I am well off in do not require much focus, for the material is familiar to me.
Another thing . . . I was in this class as a means to an end -- to get a very important credit. I strongly disliked the material, but for some reason, I really like doing it now. (Perhaps that is the sole reason I started doing the work in this past week?) At any rate, I think that I only have good news to report. As for accelerated math, I'm full steam ahead on that project. It's something I'm behind in, but given this recent turn of events, I'm fully confident that I will catch up and finish all of the exercises.
My reason for this post it really not for anyone else except myself. It's more or less something that forced me to think about my situation.
