MATHS MAKES MEEEEE MADDD!

hey READERS!!

Well yes..

I HATE MATHS!

And I always hope that I could avoid maths. However, I still had to take maths in poly!!! and guess wad people? Today's maths problem kills most of my brain juices. I slept for more than 10hours last night but I was already drained after having 2-3hours of maths. Not even to say about preparing for the presentation. I'm full of stress and helplessness during the second break out (WORKING lunch). I had no idea how to solve the problem even I quite a fab n quick lunch with my ex-classmatesssssssss. (the Ss stands for the number of people present!)

oh yea, and thank you nigel for the lovely earrings that u've bought from wads that again?..Gothic princess (:

Well..lemme show you something new. Its the reflection journal. Well..its just this journal where RP students had to write everyday after class to reflect on certain things and also can add comments about their team mates.

So, lemme share this with you guys.

This was the question posted:

Question:

What are some of your past experiences in Mathematics that might be conditioning how you are currently feeling about this module? Considering the effects of the Baby Elephant Syndrome, write about what you sincerely want to achieve for this A114 Mathematics II Module in this coming semester, and explain why.

Response:

Honestly, I did not have any favorable past experiences in Mathematics in the past. I have poor grades for Mathematics ever since I was young. Although I have passed the Mathematics examination most of the time, but it was like a border line marks. However, I remembered there was one time in my life that I was motivated by myself. This is because my PSLE aggregate was very poor because I just managed to get the least score to enter into the express stream. I was very depressed and felt that I could work harder. Hence I told myself to give a new start in secondary school and do well for the subjects. At the start of my secondary school days, I really did well. I was in the top 5 percent in the whole level for both years (Secondary one and Secondary two), and most importantly, I had passed Mathematics with flying colors. Hence that regained my confident in Mathematics and I thought maybe I should consider taking Additional Mathematics during Secondary 3 and 4. Having to cope with eight subjects was really tough. I could not cope with the amount of work and eventually, I felt that at that point of time, my inner self- motivation died. My additional mathematics tests had failed since common test two during my secondary three days. I had not been passing mathematics and I had completely lost interest in Maths. I had to merely force myself to listen and pay attention during mathematics lesson. I have found the questions so hard to handle. I remembered those times where I had to spend the whole hour thinking how to solve that one particular question. Sometimes I even cried due to frustration. I just wanted to solve the question myself, but I could not. So I began to ask my siblings for help and they taught me how to solve the question. However by the time the question was solved, I was really lazy to move on and practice the other questions. This problem continues to moves on and I felt that I had completely lost confident in Mathematics. I think this is just one of the major stumbles that I had for Mathematics. In additional, I always could not get the perfect answers for the workings because there were always careless mistakes. I have checked through my workings but I always did not spot the mistakes. Perhaps was not thorough enough or I simply did not practice much. After saying so much, one of my greatest hopes is that I must really make sure I know the concepts well and practiced the questions in the practice questions worksheet uploaded, so that I will be able to know my work at fingertips. Last but not least, I hope that I would cultivate an interest in Mathematics and regain the confident I had for Mathematics.

Yeap..So thats the end of today.
Thank God for keeping me well (:
& BIG THANKS TO MY TEAM MATES! :DD
