I am feeling like the world's biggest dumbass right now. I'm in school again (yay for me and all that) and of course, I have to take math. This is a really basic math class, like Algebra I, okay? So, my school has online assessments and tutoring and practice stuff. I take them, and my god, I know NOTHING. I had to answer "I don't know" to more than half the questions, and some of it was what I know is simple stuff, like, write this as an improper number. WTF is an improper number again?! "Evaluate this expression?" Ha. Ha. "Write this in expanded form." Come again?
I struggled with the fractions, can't remember my stinkin' TIMES TABLES, so I'm counting on my goddamn FINGERS. Can't figure out how to properly add, multiply or divide integers, and exponents? Forget it! I'm lucky I can remember the FOIL method for Pete's sake! Yet, I can remember what square roots are and if it divides evenly enough, I can figure it out without a calculator. Like, hello, I'm grateful I know what the square root of 25 is!!! Actually, to tell the truth, I'm not even sure I got that right, either. I'm going through all the practice/tutoring stuff, and I'm still not getting it. I literally am not comprehending this stuff.
I am so going to fail this class. It'll cost me, because I'll have to keep on taking it until I pass, or I won't get my degree. And it's BASIC MATH, people! I'm gonna go cry now. I have never felt more incompetent in my life.
