Does anyone understand this stuff? Cause I sure as heck don't, and I'm freaking out about the test on Thursday.

Tutor me... someone?? I hate real math. It makes me feel so stupid.

so like... the heck kinda math is that? looks like number theory or abstract algebra 2 or something.

it's funny how no matter how much you get exposed to, there's still that much more you'll never seen.

how'd you do?

i've been busy and sick, but i'll be available to hang out after thanksgiving.

It's "Intro to Abstract Algebra". Funny how intro courses here assume a crap-load of knowledge. This is the first class I've been worried about passing.

I think I got somewhere in the 50-some% range on the test. It was a much easier test than the first one, for which I got a 36%. If I weren't getting 100% on practically all my homework assignments I wouldn't think I had a chance of passing. But I might. The teacher's nice, so maybe he'll let me slide by with a C. Ugh. I might have to drop my double major.

I'm busy and sick too. And without health insurance, which makes things worse. Thanksgiving sounds busier but hopefully I'll have some time to hang out.
