I hate school right now, this is the first time that I have really had trouble with anything in school and right now I am having trouble understanding to classes. I have always been smart enough to understand almost anything or at least know enough stuff to get enough points on the test to get a B or higher. But right now in Algorithms and Linear Algebra, the professors are both so way out there, that I can't even fake answers on the tests.
It pisses me off, because I don't think those subjects are really hard, but the professors know the subjects so well that they skip over the little details, that they expect you to know already. It's like to trying to teach someone 2 + 2 and saying you just add to 2 numbers together. It's oblivious to us that you just add to numbers together and get 4, but to a first grader, they don't even know how to add and they might even not know how many the number 2 is. I am the kid that doesn't even know what the number 2 is right now.
What makes it's even more frustrating, is that my friends in those classes, may not necessarily understand everything the in classes, but they know enough to pass the tests. What makes it worst, is that they have so much trouble communicating their ideas to other people (like any engineer), that they try to explain stuff to me, but I can't understand them either.
So for the past 2 weeks and for the rest of school, I get to bust my ass and study like I have never studied before. I could probably pull off C's in both classes and study my normal amount, but I really want at least a B- or my GPA will fall to 3.1. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but I would really like to have a 3.0 or higher when I graduate.
Time to study.

i might get lower than wanted grades in my classes, but that's only because i haven't exactly been going regularly lately.
if you were in environmental studies going down the "environmental analysis" track you too could make maps. i'm actually not too keen on maps but i need to learn geographic informations systems (gis) for my future career plans. so i suppose it's useful.
