So yeah, I had another calculus test today, and again, even though I''ve progressively prepared more and more for each test, I still found that when I got to the last two problems, anyway, I was not in fact prepared. Actually, it''s not so much that I wasn''t prepared, it''s more that I apparently just suck at math. It didn''t used to be like this. But if this continues, I''m really going to have to rethink what I want to do with my life. Right now, I''m a physics major, and I can probably rule out switching to CS if math continues to be giving me problems like this. I guess I should probably at least wait another semester and see how diffeq goes, but at this point, I''m open for suggestions. If I do end up switching, the top two non-math oriented options on my list are psychology and government, in no particular order.

It might eventually click. Sometimes it takes the third or fourth time being introduced to a subject for it to finally click (Fourier- & z-transforms for me). Also, the further you go, the more likely you''ll hit something that just kicks your butt. If this inspires you to try hard and you come out feeling you learned something, even if you weren''t the best in the class, you''re probably in the right place. If, however, it gets you depressed and you feel you can''t keep up, you might want to think about changing majors. You gotta enjoy what you''re doing, even if it''s very hard.

Yeah, and I do enjoy it. That''s why I''m going to give it another semester. If it continues to kick my ass, I''m going to seriously consider switching. Right now, I''m just looking for suggestions and/or comments. So in other words, thanks for the suggestion
