The Math monster strikes!

Since the day I made the decision of taking the GMAT, I had been dreading this task. But I had to do it, I had to look the Math monster in the eye and take charge! So I went all Leonidus in my first Math class ( in my head...totally in my head. The professor was not spat in the face with Sparrrtttaaaa or kicked in slow motion in reality. But it kinda looked awesome in my head. Kicking numbers and signs straight in the so-called-face. Totally bad ass.) And then it hit me. I have never felt more like a total retard, or wanted to know the reason of my sole existence. While I am trying to figure how long ago I actually used a quadratic equation to do anything, the 19 year old sitting next to me promptly solves it in like 10 seconds flat. SHOW OFF. 

So after much squinting and looking all blank at the blackboard for about an hour and thinking" I work in television! I DONT NEED TO KNOW THIS SHIT!", it actually started to make sense. Memories of sitting cramming for exams came crashing back into tiny tiny brain, I started to breathe easier and concentrate. Its not rocket science, its simple formulae and application. You'll get it, don't worry Radhika, I said to myself.

After 3 mad days, this is my plan for now. Subject to changes of course.

Step 1: Spend the first month learning the math concepts while doing about 10 problems in a day.

Step 2: Make Flashcards with the formulae and the tips associated with it.

Step 3: Atleast once a day, apply the formula at work for some problem. MAKE UP A MATH LIFE PROBLEM IF YOU HAVE TO.

Step 4: Spend at least 1.5 hours everyday on just learning and solving simple math problems from math league.com

Step 5: Apply concepts in class.

LEARN FIRST. APPLY NEXT. ACE LAST.

And if you out there are like me, and feel math is your worst enemy, just breathe. Work through it and make it your best friend. Maybe not best, lets start with a friend request. Ha ha!
