Knowing your Limits

So I've decided to write a serious entry for once.

Today in class, I've come to the horrible realization that I've reached the limits of my brainpower.

Back in elementry and middle school everything was easy, if I got a bad grade it was because I simply didn't care about the subject and didn't try at all. I was never one to really care about my grades as long as I learned what I needed to learn. Then high school started, that was when I first saw the limits to my brain. Spanish for two years, no matter how hard I worked, I simply couldn't do well in it. Naturally I just lied to myself that I wasn't a language person and it was a subject that I didn't care much for anyways.

Now I'm in college, and I'm taking a high leveled math class. I studied my ass off for a whole week for one test and I still didn't do very well on the test. I would study the same way for all of my other classes, and I would do decent in them, but it seems as if this level of mathematics is simply too high for me. I admit I'm not working as hard as I can in the class. I should do the homework as it's being assigned, but thats hard to keep up with.

Its such a depressing feeling to feel as if my brain has a limit. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to truely understand it. Am I the only one that has this problem? or has others not reached their limit yet? Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can overcome this weakness?

i think there r things that we can get by but not truly truly understand n to me probability is one of them~ so i do believe there r limits to our brains... my suggestion is that u can try to TRY HARDER again n c how things go for the class~ if u still r stuck i guess it's time to change a path~ it's not to discourage u but that's wat i think n wat i'd do... n wat i did :P

gl w/ ur finals laaaaa

this is not the limit of your brain. other schools have accustomed us to easy topics, and now you need time to adjust to the hard things.

I think you need to rest your brain. Don't try to force it. Take a break and then look at the material again. Don't try to cram it all at once. It has something to do with information processing. We're learning about it in my classes. xD

PS. I miss you Roger. Your entry kinda depresses me. Don't be so hard on yourself ok? You're really smart. I know you are. Good luck with studies. Maybe I'll see you during winter break!
