I feel way in over my head. I've been telling people I'm going to major in physics, but I've actually never taken a physics course before. This is my first one. I was so excited to start this class, start the major. I was so excited about research and internships and what I'd be able to do with this. Then things were actually put into perspective.
I didn't study hard enough. I mean I did the two days leading up to the exam, but man did I not do enough during the first 6 weeks of the semester. I simply did not realize how hard this is. I tried taking general chemistry along with calculus 2. I dropped the chemistry after realizing I wasn't doing enough physics, but I realized it too late.
I don't know whether or not to say I'm not cut out for it. I don't know what to say. I mean I'm good at math and science. I got over 100 percent on my chemistry tests last semester. I got a 95 on the first calc 2 test. Yet I can hardly pass this first mechanics tests. Really, who gets As in calculus but can hardly pass a physics test? Me, apparently.
I'm going to do more problems, practice until my hands give out. I know now what I need to do... this was one big mistake, and sure I'll learn from it, I just wonder if this will end well...
