Going Back to School

So this week has been pretty uneventful, other than the fact that both Bob and I have signed up for Spring semester at UVU. By signed up, I really mean that I was re-admitted and Bob turned in his transcripts and application. We still have to figure out financial aid and if that doesn't work, then we will be needing a way to pay for school. I declared a major too, Business Management. Unfortunately, that was before I looked at the class requirements which included my dreaded Math 1050. For those of you who don't already know, I hate math, more than I hate anything else in the entire world I hate math, and I'm bad at it too. Granted I have gotten 100% in all my math classes thru Math 1010, but then Math 1050 makes -10% sense to me. I tried once in highschool, failed out of the class. I tried again in college, and this time I mean I really tried. I did every assignment, plus the extra problems that weren't assigned, and double even sometimes triple checked the answers. I went to the Math Lab for free tutoring every day after class to rework the problems with a tutor to try and make it sink in better. Before the test I went and got an hour long private tutoring session to review every assignment I had done and the review in the back of the book. The day before the test I took the practise test from the back of the book. I turned my test in unsure of 1 or 2 questions but overall pretty sure I would at least get a B, and maybe have a chance at passing the entire class with at the very least a C. However when I got my test back, it was an F, I managed a grand total of 48% on the test. I dropped the class for Math 1040 which I managed to squeeze a C out of, thinking that was enough math for a degree. Apparently I was wrong. According to my research, the only degrees I can get without Math 1050 are: Communications (too many graduates, not enough jobs to go around, no other job wants those graduates), Art (not Art Education, just Art. Pretty useless), and Legal (Pre-Law, which means going to law school if I want it to be worth anything, and I don't want to be a lawyer). Bob and my dad both say I can pass the class, but I don't think they really understand the level of hate math has for me, and I for it. That was the first time that I truely poured everything I had into something and got nothing in return, worse than nothing! An F would pull down my GPA, and waste my tuition money not to mention the money I spent on the damn textbook. Now I'm right back where I started, spending a lot of money to go to school, with absolutely no career direction... Blah, hopefully Bob will do better than I did at getting a Major....Sorry about my math rant!
