7 and 6 days to become a math genius

Sorry, but I have to post these two together. There has been a steady improvement! I'm doing papers on my own, no more nervous breakdowns, and I can actually understand stuff. Thanks to Sheldon Cooper and The Big Bang Theory, I'm not going to forget Venn diagrams anytime soon. But no one I know understands bearings. This was how my Mom summed it up today- "I don't get bearings, our neighbour doesn't get bearings and he's smart, your best friend isn't scoring well, but we know he's smart, your dad is definitely smart, and only two people in your class understand it." In other words I'm in big trouble!!
Oh well, apart from that, everything else is pretty cool!
I'm almost confident...almost.
Let's see what tomorrow brings :)

8 days to become a math genius

I did a paper today!! And apart from construction and bearing I pretty much got everything else right. Getting somewhere? I hope so. It was a disappointing afternoon, but a productive evening. Walking randomly in the cool evening air helps clear one's mind, especially when one has to do more math afterward. :P

9 days to become a math genius

My laptop is now officially kaput.
Back to math. It is seriously getting on my nerves. Remember what I said about getting better at it? It isn't happening anymore. I'm back to square one and even more frustrated than ever. It's the point where I have myself convinced that math is stupid, I'm stupider, math is useless and since I'm not going to get it right anyway, now would be the best time to give it all up.

And I have only 8 days to get it all together. *Gulp*

10 days to become a math genius

Again, I'm sorry I couldn't post yesterday. But you know what?? I did a whole question paper on my own, couldn't figure out one question and made one mistake in the other. Things are certainly looking up! But still not confident, still having problems with geometry and trig, and still trying to figure out what on earth I'm going to do for the exam. *Silent scream*

11 days to become a math genius

I'm so sorry I could not post last night. I kinda lost it. Forget kinda, I did lose it. I was an emotional wreck. I had no clue what to do, I was drawing a blank at everything.

Like my mom says, I have hit the wall. The stage where everything becomes boring and unbearable. God this sucks! I need to get past this mess!! Advice?? Feel free to leave a comment or mail me at ritealot@gmail.com

12 days to become a math genius

Phew! I'm glad my brain cannot function anymore...I've been doing math on and off the whole day. Trig is becoming simpler and simpler day by day, and forget passing, scoring good marks seems possible! I still have to get those darned three-dimensional figures right. And loci. God why on earth do we have loci??!

This whole blog idea was a good one (even though I say it myself), because my Mom keeps telling me to take a break from math and I keep saying "NOO! How will I update my blog then?!" :D

The best part of this whole venture is how many people are helping in their own way. My friends teach me, cheer me up, encourage me by telling me that even Einstein failed, and my neighbours study with me and do simple things like lending their calculators which makes a whole lot of difference! :)

13 days to become a math genius

My friend came over to teach me today. It was a hilarious disaster. I had gotten the correct answer, but he tells me "No!! You can't do that because you cannot use sine when it's not a right angle triangle." The formula used was to be precise the sine rule. Oh and then we find out that he doesn't know the exact same stuff that I don't. Great isn't it? The ultimate insult would be, according to my mom, finding out that I "know more math than both of them put together". Liking today, waiting for tomorrow :)
