thanks, but why?
Inspiration.
My boyfriend is such an inspiration to me. He works so hard and really puts himself into things that matter to him. He’s taking a test on Friday, so that maybe he won’t have to take Pre-calculus next semester, because if he does have to he will have to go to school for an extra semester to finish up one class. As it is, he is taking a summer course this year, that is three weeks long from 5pm to 9pm Monday-Friday (which makes me sad because by the time I get out of work, he’ll be headed to class. He says I can come over at 10 when he’s home and stay the nights but if I have to work in the morning that will be tough. I’m sad, but it’s necessary. He really needs to do this, and even though it’s cutting into his summer, he is willing. So I’m not mad, I would never even think to be mad.) So he’s been studying, like crazy, for this whole past week and he will continue to study hard until the test on Friday. But he’s motivated me to try to go back and learn math. I’m terrible at math. I couldn’t even pass algebra 1 in college. I had to take math 98 before that and I passed with a D, because the teacher didn’t like to fail anyone. I’m pathetic when it comes to math. But, I don’t want him to have to study and work hard during the summer by himself. So I’ve decided to take some math courses online and I’m also going to use the language learning software that my school has to learn Russian.
I really hope he passes the test, he needs a 50% to test out of the class. And I’m convinced he can do that. He’s really smart and he when he really applies himself he’s almost unstoppable. But, unlike a lot of things, Math doesn’t just come to him, he actually has to work at it to figure it out. He’s my hero for even being able to get through it. I can’t do any of it. Not well anyway. I panicked the other day at TJmaxx when I asked the guy to split my purchase between cash and debit. I asked him to put 12 dollars of the purchase on my debit card and he said I had to pay with the cash first. My brain froze and I couldn’t figure out how much cash I needed to hand him, I had to use the calculator on my phone. It was really embarrassing. I can do simple arithmetic if I have the time and don’t feel pressured, but as soon as there is the possibility that I might embarrass myself, I panic and can’t think. So, it would be nice to actually know how to do a decent amount of math. I never even learned how to do long division properly. I fuck it up all the time. I suppose it’s a good thing I’m going to art school…
