math=music.

i have real problems with math. you would think that after all of this time that i would think to study more and harder prior to upcoming quizzes and tests; i prepare and prepare and prepare...and get c's. hate my life.

so i started talking to my dad about my troubles concerning mathematics, and that i can't seem to get a grip, no matter how hard i reach. i got so frustrated at myself and math and everything to do with it because i don't have problems with any other subject. everything's perfectly dandy except that.

but then after a minute of silence, dad says, "you know, renee. there are so many misunderstood people out there. math is the same way. it was meant to be beautiful and fascinating, the way numbers work together and harmonize themselves. people have somehow turned math into a monster."

now that i realize that, i feel so sorry for this branch of study because it doesn't seem to get much slack. i think that i've turned math into a monster in my own mind is because of my surrounding atmosphere, that people say it's hard and i think that it must be. dad's a chemistry buff and understands math, and i want to be like that. to be like that person in your class that just...gets it. you know? it's so irritating that no matter how hard i try, it doesn't work.

i think my attitude towards the poor thing needs to change. i think everyone's perspective just has to change, and that numbers really do work magic.
