20 hours

That’s the amount of time I will have to invest in algebra alone per week. Ouch! My sleep will be suffering, but not to the poont of falling under 8 hours. I was comforted by my good friend in Guatemala that she also could only take 2 classes a semester since she’s also a perfectionist. She doesn’t gave learning disabilities, and she needed all that time.

Now that I know that my other classmates are only capable of adequately do 3 classes a semester, I may take an eternity to comprehend the concepts, but at least I comprehend them well. This is really hard, and I wish my math tutor could be beside me step by step some times. The school mathematics assistance program has come back in person last week, and I will be spending more time with them even if I have a tutor. I will need all the help I can get.

But you know what? I’ll be damn proud if I succeeded. If I manage to rap my mind around those concepts, I will officially become a real nerd. That thought alone is sublime motivation. It’s time to go to bed, later than I wanted, but at least I studied well. Night night!

Gratitude Journal:

I’m grateful for greek yogurt at the end of a long day.
