Something I Want To Address
I think it's time for me to say something.
A few days ago, I was asked why I hated math. This question came from a young man who knows I have Dyscalculia, a math learning disability. I didn't answer him, because I wasn't sure how to. But the truth is, I don't hate math. Math is a finite. There is no grey area. It's solid, and it never changes. What I hate is how I am unable to comprehend something that is finite and never changes, something that everybody but me seems so capable of doing. The problem is not the printed numbers on a page. The problem lies within the anxiety and fear of failure that those numbers bring me. But they can't help
A Quick Recap
My first day of college went as planned.
I woke up at 7, showered, got ready, and Trevor came by my house with Madeline and picked me up.
English was fantastic! My Professor is interesting, engaging, and actually has us learning about things that are relevant. My Sociology Professor, however, is arrogant, degrading, snide, and condescending. She talks to us like we're ignorant children who are destined to fail until we prove otherwise.
So I'm very motivated to do well, just to show her that I can do it. She has this horrible "Cell Phone Policy", which indicates that if anyone in the class has their phone out, or if their phone even goes
Anybody wanna color some lines?
I've got some lines sitting in my sta.sh if anyone wants to color them. I don't really know who has time so I'm just putting it out there ~mingplz (https://www.deviantart.com/mingplz)
Cast for the newly revised novel
This is a novel I began about two years ago, but recently revamped. The cast has remained pretty much the same, with minor adjustments.
I know these won't mean much to you just yet, but I thought I'd give you guys a glimpse of the characters
The main characters are half-brothers, and the novel swaps perspective between the two.

Hmm I can feel with you concerning math. While I don't have Dyscalculia, I still have some difficulties with more complicated math and avoid it wherever I can. That's why my first semester at university (IT) didn't work out, the math classes were too hard and literally left me devastated. But now I'm studying something I really like and can work with and... well, I'm happy :>
Granted, I wasn't homeschooled. But I think if you have chosen the right major, you can do it! Learning in public is gonna be different, and maybe there are things you don't understand first, but asking a question -or two or three- is better than suffering in silence and trying to comprehend all that on your own. I'm confident you can do this and if you want to talk, I'm there for you, dear!
