I hope I get my mandolin soon. But I guess I should stop dwelling on that. I love school kind of. I've been stressed out about Plane Geometry since I've never taken a geometry course I have no clue what I'm doing. AHHHHHHHHH! And that scares me. Since I've been the student on top of things. Even when I was taking algebra and I didn't know it I understood it really fast. So now for some reason the abstractness of proving that two triangles are congruent is really mind boggling. It's driving me insane. I can't wait till I graduate next year. And go to college. Yes!!!!!! For MUSIC!

If you waited until 11th grade to learn geometry, it's too late. Your brain has already ossified in that section.

Memorize your proofs for the ACT and SAT and you will be fine.

Plus, I don't think it matters what age you learn geometry. You just forget it the next year anyway. At least, I did. Thank goodness for review books, right?
