Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me.

Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze.

Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!

You just described me to a T when I was taking the math section of just my GED. Yes, high school math! You should have seen my scrap sheet of paper. Lol

Meh, I passed.

Don't let your anxieties ruin your goals. Just tell them to fuck off before you walk into that class. Hang in there.

His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.
