My mom left a message on my cell phone & said that my dad is okay. I'm relieved. I'm so busy that I don't have time to call anybody. I wish it was May. I'll have more free time in May after these damn classes are done. I got help from my math tutor today. I've been having problems with "The Difference of Two Squares" and "The Sum and Difference of Two Cubes." I feel like I'm on the edge of figuring this stuff out. When I look at a problem that says "a cubed minus 8," I'm still confused about what it looks like factored, but I believe there is an answer. If my math class didn't involve factoring, I'd be overjoyed.

  • . . . that I'm very happy that your dad's okay - it must have been really worrying, and I hope for him a full recovery :).

    Are you allowed to use a calculator to do your maths? We never were until G.C.S.E., and to this day I still have no idea how to do 'long division'. I passed my exam by, when required, drawing 568 tiny dots and dividing them, with circles, into groups of 82. It took about half the alloted exam time, but it was worth seven whole marks. Seven! Though thinking about it I probably only got one of those, for the 'right answer', as my method was hardly the recommended one.
