Algebra? Trig? Pre- Calc? I don't even know anymore...

     Pre- Calculus is a class like no other. When in a class with Ms. Rios a lot seems to confuse me. This past semester I had realized that there was no time to procrastinate, or not pay attention to class work . Starting in September, we were working on pre-calculus and I sadly fell back into my old lazy ways. I missed out on homework or sometimes when I didn't do it I just looked up the answers so that way I could at least have something to hand in.   Then came the time of regents week. Leading up to regents week Ms. Rios was prepping us for the Algebra II/Trig regents. Every single practice test she handed out I failed, cause I payed no attention whatsoever. I thought I had it all at the palm of my hand because math is my best subject, but when formulas come into play, it just gets harder and harder. I try not to think about the fact that math has letters added onto it instead of numbers, because that simply makes no sense. You can't add a letter because it's a letter, but that's off topic. When the regents prep classes were over, and it was time for the real test, I was so stuck on the idea that I would fail. I was so excited to find out that I passed my trig regents. 

    Despite all of the stress that I got from slacking off, and the relief I got from it all paying off, I learned my lesson the hard way. I learned that I love being taught by Ms. Rios, she's a tough little teacher but she cares, so I have to do things her way sometimes. I also learned that being in a small class, being in a class with 17 people proves to be very helpful at times.
