Theory..

is for morons.  Or maybe brilliant people.  I've come to believe there is not that much difference between the two.

GRR!!!!!!!!  I hate feeling stupid!  I honestly am such a visual learner when it comes to things like this--reading 30 pages of notes (full of highlights and doing all of the practice problems) is not helping me one bit. 

I emailed my advisor for some advice.  I'm hoping that this class is perhaps taught face-to-face over summer vacation and I can postpone this agony somehow. 

We'll see...
