1. When I couldn't understand a single thing. Come to think about it. IA is hard. Do you expect me to understand things in an instant? My mind works in a different way when compared to the so-called 'geniuses.'
2. When I get low grades. This isn't very surprising. Low grades in math are already familiar to me. They have been part of my life and I guess they'll always keep on killing my brain.

Yeah. Very discouraging. Math is very discouraging. I like geometry better. Really.

I've never really memorized or analyzed (or whatever term you'd like to call it) mathematical concepts, even the basics. And I'm prretty much amazed at the fact that our teacher is teaching us nonstop just for us to understand the lessons. You see, I've never been good at factoring. But there are some aspects where I sometimes get high scores or, that's what I think.

• Laws of Exponents
• Inequalities
• Multiplying Polynomials

Those are what I've comprehended (at least there are!) in IA. I've never mastered them, but at least, I've done my best to learn these concepts.

Math is my waterloo. I love quadratic equations and hate the much more simpler stuff.

• To be good in math.
• To know the significance of exponents in life.
• I understand quadratic equations and can solve them but I can't solve simple equations and that's what I hope I can do.
• To understand the lessons in a short span of time.
• To be able to apply the basics of solving equations in my examinations.

I have not been able to achieve these expectations since June and I do hope that before the school year ends, I will be able to achieve at least one.

My expectations: (for the teacher)

• To make the lesson more interesting by applying technological stuff to the subject such as computers and the like.
• To give me high grades. (as if)
• I expect our teacher to sound as if she's encouraging us, not scaring us.

My expectations: (for my classmates)

• Less noise.
• Less stubborn people.
• More concerned people.
• More seious people.
• Classmates who share their knowledge to others.

I guess all of that pretty much sums all of my expectations. Like I've said, I've never been good at math and one day, I'll prove to the world that I can do math! LOL.
