An online journal of my daily struggle with Calculus and the tools I use to succeed in the last math class I will ever take.

Week Five and Six
Week five was a firm slap in the face to wake up and spend more time in the math tutor lab. This week's three sessions before class will be followed by a Saturday session to make sure I have the week's new sections polished.

Week Four
Week four is a short one because of the holiday weekend. Normally I'd be happy but we have an exam next week and I could use the practice. There also won't be tutoring over the weekend because the school will be closed. I'll be searching the Internet to find links to sites and videos to help my cyber tutoring.

Week three
Week three is upon us. I now have a full plan of action that includes only doing my homework in the math lab where I can never get stuck on a problem. Most of the tutors are students in very high level math who really seem to enjoy doing it. But now I'm running into the first real issue I have struggled with in calc before: Logarithms. They have always been a struggle for me and I can't figure out why. Every time I think I have them figured out something else pops up and I don't know what I'm doing anymore. We'll see if the math lab can take care of that because if not I will have to start meeting with the professor in person in his office hours.

Week Two
As the second week closes, we continue a review that I can easily follow and keep up with whats going on. This means I need to set up a good schedule that I can keep up all semester. As soon as I start falling behind I'll be in much bigger trouble than I think. Getting caught up is always much harder than it seems.
