Ehhh.

Today in my math class was good. We got our tests from last week back, and I made one of the highest grades (94). After reviewing what I got wrong though, I felt so dumb. I could've had a 99 but I multiplied wrong on 2 different problems. I guess I was just rushing and wasn't paying attention, because let's be honest, I KNOW what 9(3) is. It's 27. But I accidentally put 18. I don't know what I was thinking there...I just hope my instructor doesn't think I'm an idiot..But hey, at least I got an A.
I've always been terrible in math, hence why after my placement test I got placed into Elementary Algebra. Right now we are going over such easy stuff, but they are things that I have not done in so long. I was a little rough at first seeing as it's been a while, but now I have a complete hang on things. I mean it is just simple math. Too bad it wasn't just simple math on the ACT. Both times I took the ACT I scored lower than an 18 in math. I think I made a 16 in math the first time, and a 17 the second. My best composite score for the ACT is a 21. Even though I am already in college I signed up to take the ACT again, because I know I can do better. I also plan on transferring to main campus, and maybe a higher ACT score will look more attractive to them when I apply. I take it this Saturday and I'm starting to get really anxious. I hope I did not screw myself over by deciding to take the ACT again. It's been a while since the last time I have taken it. People tell me you almost always do better with every time you take it. My first score was a 20, and my second a 21. I did do better, but by only one point. I'm hoping to at least make a 25 or higher this time around. I would even be happy with a 24. I just hope my nerves will settle down before Saturday..
