Wednesday Nights

It's Wednesday, and that inevitably means that I have math homework due tomorrow.  It's the same thing every week.  I get the new assignment Thursday afternoon, and it is due the next Thursday morning.  Now that we are halfway through the semester you would think that I would have learned that I should not leave the 9 hour math assignment for Wednesday night.  But I'm an optimist, and I always hope that I'll magically be able to get my math homework done in a mere hour.

I can't.

So here we are again.  It's Wednesday night, about 10:30, and what do you know I haven't started my math homework yet.  In fact, I just barely looked at the assignment five minutes ago.  It's a long one... like multiple pages long.  So once again, I will be staying awake for the next four or five hours, faking my way through yet another Advanced Applied Analysis homework assignment.

Which brings me to my next point.

Shouldn't there be some sort of pre-req for Advanced Applied Analysis, such as Basic Applied Analysis?  I mean, seriously team, I feel like I really missed some of the concepts that are considered fundamental to the course - such as, an in depth knowledge of optical and/or fluid mechanics, the general idea behind physics and string theory, or even what applied analysis means.

Which leads me to my conclusion:

I hate math.  I hope one day to go back to that special place where math and I got along and I felt smart, but for right now, I'm just trying to make it though.  On the plus side, only 8 weeks left this semester.  A total of 12 classes to survive.  And then a year after that I'll be completely done with my math classes.  And that will be a happy day.  I'm thinking of hitting up law school next, because after math I feel like that should be a piece of cake**.  Or, perhaps I'll just eat some cake in celebration of being done with math.

(**For those of you actually in law school who know that it is in fact NOT a piece of cake, please keep your opinions to yourselves.  I am happy in my ignorance.)
