Physics

I think I got it figured out. The professor sucks and so does the text book.
I was telling my friend Djami (pronounced: Jamie) who took this class last year to give me a hand. Unfortunately our schedule didn't match, so I went to a free tutoring session that was offered by the science department which went terrible. The guy who were in there tutoring gave false information. When confronted with correction, his excuse was "I took physics about 6 years ago, and didn't really remember the details. "

In any case, this physics class has been very challenging! So I was at the library all day on Tuesday to figure out what the heck was going on. I came home that day and felt I didn't accomplish anything. But next day, Djami brought her MCAT Princeton Review for me to look at. She thought it would help.

OMG! THAT BOOK IS AMAZING! When smart people explain it straight to the point, physics seems EASY!!!! There were few KEY concepts that I was missing, which I noticed while I was studying at the library, and once I understood the concepts, it was piece of cake!
Once Will told me, "having a bad instructor shouldn't prevent you from get doing well in the class ." When I heard that my thoughts were very cynical. "Well, Will, unlike you, some people are not as smart!!!" BUT know I understand it. It's all in the power of the student to do well in the class. I'm little bit ashamed that I finally figured this out at age 26, when most people probably figured it out earlier in college.

So great, you're getting it... I wanna hear the points that you were having trouble with. I'm sure they'd be interesting things to know.

Inquiring minds want to know. Do tell. Let it loose. Spill the beans. etc, etc.
