College 2nd Semester 2nd Week

Just the second week into my second semester, and all the things that are happening at the same time...are going to drive me crazy!!!

Let's talk about the courses I am taking...


1) Calculus with Analytic Geometry II
The killer subject, according to my seniors. Statistics has shown that nearly 50% of the students drop the class after the first test and only 50% of the remaining students pass the course. So, only 25% of the students going to survive this course.

I admit my calculus suck, I still can't see much of its use in life. I don't believe the fact that all those complicated equations exist in real life. If I can't excel or at least pass this subject, how am I going to be a successful engineer or economist(if I want la)?

2) General Chemistry I   
I feel I don't know a lot of things the lecturer thought in class today. With all those scientific terms and meaning, as a science student, I don't really know a lot of the chemicals on the periodic table. To be honest, I still can't really understand most of the concepts behind chemistry.

Hope this subject won't kill me....

3) Introduction to Psychology
You maybe thinking.... Psychology. It's just the study of human. Then you are definitely wrong, Psychology got so many branch and theorems. With all those definition that need to memorize, and examples. Even the first 2 chapters are jammed with argument and ideas on how humans function as an individual.

I hate memorizing things....but I'm forced to...

4) Introduction to Computer and Information processing
I thought I will like this subject when I enroll for it, thinking it will be a walk in the park for me, as I ONCE thought I know a lot about computer.

The ugly truth? I hardly know anything computer. I mean the real names of things, for example when we talk about disks we called them CD, and the machine reading it CD-ROM , but the truth is CD-ROM is the real name for the disk and the CD-ROM drive is real name for the device reading the CD-ROM....

There also a lot of things, I only know a bit there and here, which I consider I know nothing.

5) Introduction to Microeconomics
The study of how people use limited resources to fulfill unlimited wants. Sound easy? but I think I need to memorize a lot of things about it. I got interest in it, so I think it should be ok for me. Plus the test are mostly in Multi Choice Questions (MCQ). Isn't it great?

Sometimes I ask myself....
Why we cannot study about things we like and care of in college?
Why we must follow the study guide that they provided?
Why we must only study things that can score an A+ easily but you hardly have interest in it?
Why I can't study what I want?
