<p>UCBAlumnus: I know this isn’t much of a comparison, but I really like learning/knowing the proofs in single-variable calculus. Everything makes a lot more sense for me personally when I understand the proofs. I’ve seen the first site and it’s actually where I found the practice problems to test my aptitude for the career. I will spend more time looking at the VEE after my finals. I am also for sure doing summer school next year, so hopefully I’ll knock out more classes and lighten my load for the school year.</p>
<p>187: I know this sounds extremely arrogant, but I feel like I would be good at anything I do be it the humanities, mathematics, or sciences. The problem lies with finding something I like since my interest in the subject dictates my dedication to it. To be honest, I chose the science/premed route because it’s what my mom wanted me to do and I had no other clear aspirations in mind. My dad actually lectured me countless times last year when I was deciding on majors and schools because he knew I wouldn’t like the sciences. In fact, when I called my parents to tell them about this, he went on saying how he knew I would change my mind about premed and wished I had listened to him before and chose something <em>I</em> wanted to focus instead of listening to my mom.</p>
<p>I plan on taking multivariable calculus and maybe an upper div theory class at a community college this summer for fun and exposure to the subject. Hopefully the classes reaffirms my interest in becoming an actuary! :)</p>
<p>As far as finals and O-Chem goes, I’m actually doing relatively okay in the class. I’m not doing as well as I’d hope, but I’ll probably walk away with a B/B+, depending on how the curve and final goes. However, you’re right. I should probably get back to studying now. :P</p>
