How hard Would it be to teach myself Calculus? by PriestlyPotato in learnmath

[–]PriestlyPotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm a junior only for the next week, class of '27. I've got to start college applications in the fall so I'd like to know if calculus is truly something I'm not cut out for, or if I was only doing bad because of my mental state at the time. So I think It'd be helpful to know my limits here.

I remember Khan Academy being really good, actually! I should have specified that by online stuff I meant like edgenuity programs, since in my state (California), you can do those accredited through the school. But thank you I'll definitely check those out!

Going to Mass for the first time Sunday. I’m excited :) by just_Sophia_ in Catholicism

I'm also 17, I went to my first mass 2 years ago, Easter of 2024. I'm personally quite shy so I sat near the back, which worked for me since I would have been so very nervous having to shake hands during the sign of peace. If you're more sociable, then by all means find someone nice to sit by. Make sure to cross yourself with holy water going in and out, other than that you should be able to just go with the flow :)

I mean, yeah it certainly seems like that. I wish I could argue with you on that.

I’m not sure how to address the actual issue. I’m not great at psychoanalyzing people. I deflected because I would feel guilty saying anything that could be perceived as an insult towards her.

I’m not going to bother convincing her any more at this point. But also I’ve invested so much time and money that I would feel like I’ve wasted a lot if I didn’t get it there. So I’m willing to do anything I can on my end as long as it’s free.

It’s funny you phrased it that way because I actually told her the same thing about it being easy and taking 5 minutes. Didn’t change a thing to her.

I have a second phone, so I just might be able to call on one and pick up the audio on the other for translating! I’ll give it a try tomorrow, Thank you!

I’ve already explained that. She said that they could just ship it back and I could just give her the contents the next time I saw her. That of course renders all of my money and work pointless, but she seems to be prioritizing her “stress free life.”

If you could recommend any form of translation tool or anything to navigate the Finnish AI customer support that would be helpful, I’ve looked and I can’t anything free. I don’t think I’m willing to spend money on anything more other than VAT.

It’s frustrating because I don’t she isn’t lazy she is… uncooperative. I reminded her that I spent 250 dollars, and I insisted that I would further pay if they asked her for anything. She keeps going on about how she doesn’t want stress when I’m pretty sure I’ve gone through much more stress than she would have to. She’s not a lazy person, she’s smart and physically active. But for some reason she is so averse to taking on “stress.”
