Possible Success and Hope for Avoidance of Failure

Last semester was one of repair. Repair hurts and it really sucks. Also, it isn't much fun. Well that is not to say that last semester was 100% morbid and depressing. I did discover more about my self and that I definitely should stay as a Computer & Information Systems major. Maybe first I should explain the why last semester (Fall 2009) was a semester of repair in the first place. In the Spring of 2009 I made a fatal error. I took Into to Problem Solving, which is basically a fancy way to say Intro to Java Programming Language; and Applied Calculus in the same semester. Bad Idea. I am terrible at Math, and it takes many many many hours of my time even when I have a moderate grasp of the material. However, I never had a Pre-Calculus class in High School. So I was jumping into a veritable pool of hot water. I hadn't the experience I needed; for the sake of metaphor: tip-toeing instead of jumping into the pool. Also, I was never really very successful in high school with programming. The most proficient I was at any language remotely resembling Programming was HTML (web page coding).
