When I mentioned my calc class before, Eltargrim mentioned that he'd be a resource for me. :D

I'm a bit rusty on a few things, but I can try to offer some explanations and also some nifty resources that will save time but are effectively the same thing as integral tables and can be considered cheating in certain courses!

But yeah, Calculus. Right now I'm in an ODE course, and just finished a multivariable course; no guarantees on the other stuff

My Physics teacher fucked up the first test so bad, that he's now having to give everybody the chance to make 40 extra credit points on it just so some people will have passed. (The test was only about 100 points in the first place).

Ugh.

My Physics teacher let us make a notecard to use on our Finals last year. The exam questions were also the exact same questions as those on the study guide he handed us.

Probably the easiest 100% I ever got on a Science test.

This semester, I don't have much to compain about, other than my scholarship woes as I scramble about, doing mock interviews and trying to get things filled out before the deadline.

New? My semester is a third over already.

My semester starts next week. On the one hand I only have to go two days. On the other hand Tuesday I'm there for 12 hours and Monday I'm there for 14. I predict Wednesdays will be spent in mild comas. Still 5 day weekend until I get part time work sounds pretty good.

Why the crap do I need to take a stupid math assessment test to take stupid math. Just let me into the course already!
