Math is hard.
I'm back in school now. I can only take one class at a time because I am paying for it on my own. I suppose I could find some financial aid, but I'm already paying off a chunk to Sallie Mae and I just don't want to have to add more to the pile.
In order to finish my Associates I have to take a math class. The kicker is that I had to take an assessment test to find out which math class I could sign up for next semester.
They don't just let you take the 100 level class and be done with it. No. They want to make sure they humiliate you as much as possible before letting you in.
So, I took the test this morning, and I felt like someone hit me in the head with a hammer and asked me to walk a tightrope.
I haven't been in a math class in many many years and even then I was pretty lost most of the time.
From question ONE I was scratching my head.
Needless to say I tested into the "dummy math".
There are three (not for credit!) classes below the 106 I need for my degree and I tested into the second to the lowest--Math 087.
You don't even need a calculator for this class. Just all your fingers and toes.
So now I have to take 087, 096 and THEN I can take 106. And by the way, if I want to get back into ISU as a Psychology major I also need a finite math class.
I'm going to be drowning in numbers for the next 4 semesters.

I tried to find a math class that only used an abacus. They just looked at me funny and asked me to leave.
My brother is taking "discreet math" right now. I think that sounds like something you could get into?
