Low expectations, low disappointment

Man, this quarter was rough academically (in addition to a lot of other adverbs).


Basic algebra – The course name is such a filthy, dirty lie. NONE OF THIS SHIT IS BASIC. I miss how mathematics used to make sense to me…


Analysis – Do not understand 1-forms. Like, AT ALL.


Gender & Sexuality – Okay, this class is actually fine. Just a lot of reading (but unlike Social Science, not all of it is terrible!).


So when it comes to my final grades, I’m keeping my expectations low and chanting the mantra, “C’s get degrees.”


As to writing… Again, keeping my expectations low. But I do expect to get Devil in an Armani Suit and a novella It’ll be Better This Time Around done in 2016. I will do my best to fight my procrastination and get the books DONE by the end of 2016, damn it.


Summary of It’ll be Better This Time Around


Ivy Zheng has a secret—she’s still madly, deeply in love with her ex Logan Price. So when he shows up in Obscura, Ohio—the small town with a population of 508 where she works as a dissatisfied waitress—a large part of her wants to beg him to take her back. But the bigger, more reasonable part of her knows better. Another, darker secret from the past tore them apart, one that she intends to keep, even if it means keeping her from the love of her life.


 


Excited? Intrigued? Indifferent? Feel free to offer opinions, please.


On to fiction writing and math.


-ordinary self-published author and even more mediocre math major

100sweet Your troubles with school is something I can completely understand. I'm studying for my doctorate and the classes are tough. My statistics class is 4hrs long and it is kicking my butt. Unfortunately, in the doc programs you are not allowed to get anything lower than a B. I was really looking forward to your next book. I hope you do well this semester and wish you a happy holiday season.

Damn, that statistics class sounds rough. Hope you get at least a B in it! Good luck with your studies and thanks for following my updates! Happy holidays.
