First post of random rambling - nothing to do with anything

CSC263H... An extension of CSC165H? Oh no!
My gut reaction is sickness. But I am trying to change that.
I will try to like to this course! I will! I will!
I am surprised I survived CSC165. Most people didn't seem to find CSC165 as evil as I did.
I find nitpicking English to get precision gives me headache.
But I do like math, so I'm no stranger to rigor...
I don't quite know what it was about CSC165.
But I have a goal for myself to do much better in this course!
*punches the air*

And I feel rather strange that I already have a blog on this site...
And blogger forces me to make my account with my gmail account.
(I don't feel it worth the bother to create a different one for just this purpose)
The other blog has little in it - only two posts, but it's not something I ever planned to share with people. Look how I waste my time! o_o;

I'm used to keeping a journal. I have one (in Word, on the computer) that I write around 4 pages a day in, just to get stuff out of my head. I enjoy writing. It helps me make sense of the vagueness and swirling confusion of what's up there in my head. It helps coalesce it into something concrete.

Now that I unloaded that from my mind I will make posts solely related to CSC236 as much as I can.
And the first week already scared the crap out of me (because somehow I passed CSC165 with an okay mark [even good enough for a specialist program...] but I can't seem to do a proof in this course to save my life).
I'm in four courses based a lot on math proofs this semester and I suck at them.
I like math but... I am no good at it.
(I have no belief in myself either. Yay!)
Many proofs kill me.

>>>This semester == doom
>>>True

I'm trying to put together "I like math" with "I suck at math." I suspect the second statement isn't true.
