HATE math. Math is one of the reasons that I never went to school. I barely scraped by in high school. I only took it through 10th grade and barely pulled D's. Well, when this class started I was quite pleased with how easy it came to me. It is, after all, the equivalent to 6th grade math. And then this week happened. It got harder. And I studied and asked questions and did all the work. And I failed a test. Horror! The next day I managed to get a C. Not great, but passing, right? Then yesterday, I failed another test! I boobed and complained and stressed. My teeth have all turned to sawdust from the grinding.
Today was my final. I only missed one! I don't know if it finally just clicked, but I think it had a lot to do with the prayer right before the test. And despite the three bad tests, I still ended up with an A in the class. Such a relief! So I have done the happy dance and floated on air.
