welp I just checked my grades for pre-calc and found out I have yet again failed…. 52% this time though, guess that’s improvement. -_- all I needed was a 50% on the final to pass, I managed to get a 33%. I am a failure, this is only the 7th time taking the class…. And mathematics are apparently one of my greatest aptitudes too :/ But I just keep failing, really I basically fail every class but this one I actually failed…. all my other classes I coast threw with 60%…. I’m probably going to get my degree with a GPA of 1.8…. that’s not going to be useful in anyway, and of course I don’t tell my father any of this and he never asks he simply just keeps paying for my tuition…. It’s basically just throwing money away…. I’m probably worse than a boat, but at least people can ride boats in the water so my father would be getting at least something out of having a boat instead of me…. Although I doubt he could trade me for a boat instead as nobody with a boat would be stupid enough to agree to that trade…. I should just kill myself but I can’t, it’s not a convenient time for my father to deal with that, I have to first wait for my grandfather to die and for my father to sell that house then I can die without causing him too much trouble…. I guess right now at least I’m housesitting for him, guess that’s of some use. I’m probably never getting my degree as I will never pass pre calc which is a requirement -_- grrrr….. that’s like $2000 wasted just on that class :/ I’m a horrible creature.

I mean after the second failed attempt why are you still doing that major? Do something you like or are good at. Your dad is wasting $. You’re torturing yourself.
well I like the major, is programming…. which I love and that requires all of the maths for it…. so I will need from pre-calc to like some other math, I think I can do up to calc 2 or 3 in my school…. And really it’s odd as I am also working my way towards a language degree and getting close to some of the arts AAs that are offered at my school…. mostly because my classes are so very varried, like the computer science classes are the only reason why my GPA is so high right now (2.1) as I tend to grab fairly high grades in them :/ it’s confusing I am able to do all the math required in this class, just not efficiently…. and I am finding that I can’t study or anything as I always end up curled up in a ball crying when I study :/ and then that makes it hard to do well on tests, and I also kind of want to cry while taking them which complicates things…. Maybe I should just aim for a degree that doesn’t require math :/
I did computer science and loved the programming classes and did well. The math wasn’t bad for me but I knew I couldn’t handle it once I started getting C’s and wasn’t even done with cal2 plus physics and cal2. Keep in mind, there are still more maths like linear algebra, discrete too. I’m not sure about your coursework but you’re struggling with the easiest math precal and I’m positive you have a lot more maths. I still believe all those maths are irrelevant for programming but it’s supposed to weed out the weaklings. I’m not trying to be the next Steve jobs but I suppose the college thinks that way. As to advice, the best thing you can do is get away from the math because your GPA is low and once you fall under 2.0 you will be on academic probation and then suspension. Get out of there and change major before it’s too late and the university kicks you out.
Meh I don’t want to though…. and yes I know pre calc is the easist math I was so very pissed off when I placed into it on entrance exams (consistently too) as I did calc 2 at the same school while in high school (senior year) and finished it with around 80% -_- however didn’t get college credit for it (like I was told I would) due to some form of complications…. so I can pass pre calc, but it’s so much harder now…. and it’s not even like I took much time off between highschool and my frist stab at it…. but everything just imploded -_- Like I have a very intuitive understanding of everything that was covered but I just can’t pass the fucking class…. it’s annoying :/ and I’ve already been on academic probation twice before -_- and may find myself there again…. as I also failed Spanish (last class of second year, and my school doesn’t go farther so I had no motivation to pass, didn’t even show up for the final -_-) so yeah -_- that isn’t helping my GPA
and just to be clear all my classes are bringing down my GPA since I aim to get 60% in basically every class and do just enough to achieve that -_- School clearly isn’t my thing…. life really just isn’t my thing…. I wish I could eat right now 🙁 but I’m mostly out of food and has no money currently :/
im sorry to hear that your hungry, is there a homeless shelter that provides community meals.. check it out in your area.
If traditional school isn’t for you then try vocational school where you specifically learn skills in the trade.
