Good Morning all!

Had a fabulous weekend with Johnny. We REALLY needed a weekend away! But now we are back......and today has me taking an algebra Exam.

My professor is having me take it in the library cause he thinks it may help. Whatever, I don't understand it no matter what room I am in! LOL. But I studied and am trying to do my best. I know I will fail the class, even if I would get perfect grades on the last 2 tests.

My goal now is to score the highest failing grade I can to keep my GPA as high as I can. Since a small portion of my funding is Grants, I have to maintain a certain GPA to continue to receive it.

Anyways, enough about my Algebra failures, I have my last Bio Lecture today then no more of that until my final May 18th....woo Hoo! So even though it's raining, I am happy for today to get past some hurdles and move forward!

Hope everyone stays dry and safe today!

Steffi.....

I got to the Test Center, the guy handed me my test and I sat down and instantly cried! The entire test looked Chinese to me. I didn't understand ANYTHING. None of my notes were helping me, all the studying I did made no sense. Nothing from the review was on the test.

I found my professor, and cried again. I insisted nothing was the same as our notes. I confessed to leaving over half the test blank and guessing on the rest. He told me to calm down, that I was stressed and exaggerating and that all the samples problems I studied were on the test (different problems, of course!) I said whatever.......I didn't understand any of it and I DID STUDY!

An hour later, he finds me and said that the guy at the test center gave me THE WRONG TEST! I was handed the test for NEXT chapter! He said no wonder I was fumbling and confused. He apologized for ignoring my pleas of the test not making sense. We both chuckled *a little*, and I will now be taking the correct exam on wednesday. Whew......I thought I was a complete dummy. No wonder I was lost, I was trying to do things I hadn't learned yet!

Anyways, thought I would share that with you. It was a very emotional morning. Spending an hour crying to myself, Johnny and him, all over nothing!

Oh dear!  What a terrible morning!  But hey - you did half of them without even learning them?  Who cares if they were right or not....you were able to funble through at least some basic steps....

Radicals.......adding, subtracting, multiplying & divinding them.

Also Imaginary numbers. (Really? I can barely understand rational & irrational ones and now IMAGINARY?)

Just kidding, I know that   i  means -1

if they are imaginary, does that mean that you can imagine the right answer?  and can you convince the irrational ones to change their ways?

I tried.

Rational Numbers are snobby and always, well, rational.

Irrational numbers always wanna throw you a curve ball with fractions and negatives.

Imaginary numbers are simple minded little boogers. They just want to be -1. but then they sometimes want to be with the rational or irrational ones and then it becomes Complex (complex numbers.....Steffi.......take that!)
