Integers, Absolute Values and Interval Notations ... oh my

I have a secret. Wanna know what it is? In High School, I dropped out of math. I took ONLY the minimum requirement, barely passed it, and was done with it.

I have another secret. Wanna know this one? I've only got 3 (yes, T-H-R-E-E) Semesters left before I can graduate - but that is based on once condition...

Yup! You're smart. I knew you'd get it. I HAVE to take more math classes.


This causes a problem for me! I am a total "right brainer." When it comes to numbers and functions and formulas, I get completely lost...

Alas -

The time has come for me to straighten my thinking cap, buy a whole bunch of pencils with large erasers, and keep a stack of scratch paper by my side. I am going to attempt making it through ALL of my math classes in two months. Why? Because it is CRUCIAL that I can test into Stats 1040 for the Fall!

Some of you may be "left brainers," and may think that this is an easy task, but for me, there is no ease! If I want to graduate by the end of next year, it must be done! I'm not looking forward to it, but I know that when I finish I will feel a sense of accomplishment that I would not be able to get from any other task - so although I'm dreading it, I'm also looking forward to the challenge!

Here's to variables and set builder notations!

WAY TO GO GIRL!! I WOULD VOLUNTEER TO DO YOUR MATH, BUT I HATED MATH IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I ONLY DID WHAT I HAD TO, SO THAT I COULD PASS. I EVEN HAD A GEOMETRY TEACHER TELL ME I WAS A DUMB STUDENT, TALK ABOUT A GREAT SELF-ESTEEM BUILDER! I WISH YOU THE BEST THOUGH, JUST GO AFTER IT AND GET IT ALL DONE!! LOVE YA AND GOOD LUCK, AUNT C
