Just wanted to say thank you, everyone, for your encouragement. I'm doing better now -- I'm taking a different class and got past the module that was giving me grief, but...well, I've run into a new module that's giving me grief. Hopefully I can complete it, take the post-test, and then I'll be good to go for Unit 3 next semester.

Lazarus16: Thank you so much. And yeah, you're right. Even celebrities have their imperfections. And I'm definitely going to be giving math everything I've got. And yeah, I guess I haven't really realized how much of a winner I am yet -- I definitely hope I can prove my...winner-ness.

Omegalamed: Awwwww, thank you! You're really sweet.

shattered sanity: There are. I remember taking stuff like Film and Lit (it's sort of this class where you analyze films and their source material. Nothing like The Hunger Games though; we had stuff like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Francis Ford Coppola's version of Dracula, The Last of the Mohicans, Apocalypse Now, etc. And we got to do a paper on books vs. movies -- I did Lord of the Rings -- and I also did a paper comparing Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula with Apocalypse Now.) and English Lit and being great at both. Maybe it was my teacher being pretty awesome. And I love books and movies -- I actually adore them. So I guess there are just some subjects that aren't my forte and math is one of them. (I know when I was in fourth grade, I despised math)

Plfaumenkeks: That's awesome that you managed to learn English by reading papers! And yeah, you are definitely right. People are good at some things and not good at others. I guess what really kind of bums me out is that I need math to get my degree. (And this is just remedial math. I'm scared of what actual math will look like) But you're right, there's no reason math is more important than knitting. (Heck, my brother can crochet, which I think is awesome)

1976kitchenfloor: Awwww, thanks! I do my best. Writing and language has definitely been a big part of my life -- ever since I was a toddler, really. My mom has stories about how I learned to talk just by reading aloud, and writing my first story when I was little. I honestly do love writing, whether it's writing here, working on my fiction, things like that -- it's just...magic.

Pretzelle: That really sucks. It's kind of like that for me too, except my mom's the math expert. (Also, we should start a club. The "We Hate Math" club)
