I made an A in the hardest math course in my degree program!!!

I had to share, because I literally shrieked and woke up my roommates when I saw the posted grades. Here's why.

I was a vocal performance major for a year before I switched to mechanical engineering. This semester, I took calculus 2, which is commonly regarded as one of the big nasty weedout courses because of how they overwhelm you with so many new concepts in one semester. It's one of the most difficult math courses for undergraduates, and probably the hardest math on my degree audit. My math background in high school was horrible, and that's putting it mildly, and there were a ton of key concepts the professor assumed we had all learned that I hadn't. Taking the first calculus course with a TA in the summer didn't exactly help me, either. Day two in my calculus 2 class, the professor actually asked me if I had even taken the prereqs. (I had. -_-) I thought I was doomed in this course from the start, and several times considered switching back to voice. I studied for an hour a day, at LEAST, with much longer sessions on weekends. I had anxiety attacks the night before some of the exams. I slowly made progress, but every time he introduced a new unit, I felt so completely overwhelmed I would go home and cry over my notebook.
Final exam was last Friday. Grades were posted; I set the curve on the final exam and came out with a 97% in the class. I am going to be a lady engineer!!! :D
