3 days to become a math genius

3 days to go. And I have learnt more in these past few days than I did in two years. Life's real funny isn't it? :)

On Tuesday, I'll be giving my first math exam. I have another one later this month. At the beginning of my study leave I was scared. You can say about as scared as my neighbour is when she sees lizards. I had no clue what was going on, and numbers, and signs would just swim on the pages rather than making sense. Thanks to an amazing group of people, which consists of my mom and some really great friends, it makes sense now. I'm not perfect at math. But I'm not scared anymore.

I did some 5 and a half papers today. Most of them were easy. Some were tough. A few days days ago I would have probably said "most were tough, some were easy." I smile now when I solve problems not look at them through a haze of frustrated tears, or with eyes burning with exhaustion and hate. We're not the best of friends. But it's like my mom says. When you have to work with someone, you have to work with them. If you don't like them don't spend the evening with them. Math and I are kind of like that. I need to work with it, so I'm working with it. But unlike French, I am not doing it because I have fun with it.

Waiting for tomorrow...
