I am trying to not freak out just yet...

Ok.  I am trying to not freak out just yet, but I am literally afraid of what this semester holds.  I am already worried that I might be in over my head.  The thought of dropping a class has, (for the first time since I started), crossed my mind.  🙁

I feel pretty good in History, but in Biology the teacher doesn't do study guides or word banks or multiple choice on tests.  I know, I know - guess it's time to grow up, but seriously I'm worried about my ability to just recall stuff out of my head.  I've been asterisking my notes every time she says "That's on your test." so I can try to remember everything about it.  😳

I sat down and did some of my Trig homework tonight.  DUDE.  It looks fun and I feel like maybe I could like it, but the book is nothing like my Algebra books were.  In Algebra we were doing problems in class then our homework would be basically the same problems with different numbers so we could get used to the steps of the problem.

Trig?  Trig so far is like, "Hey, this is the information you have.  Now figure out this other shit with what I just said."  There are some triangle rules, which help... but some problems I have solved with just subtraction and division and I'm just like, "Am I doing this right?"  I am getting the same answer as what is in the back of the book, but I'm wondering if there is some formula I'm not following.

I mean on the one hand it's like I'm making my own Algebra problems with triangles and that's pretty cool, but on the other hand I'm worried that I'm missing something and I don't want to do that.  I guess I'm just gonna get through it as best I can and see if the teacher can give me any pointers on Monday.

Anyway.  Heading to bed.  Y'all wish me luck.  Or if you know anything about Trig - soothe my brain, please.  I just want to do ok.
