Back to school after 5 years, figured id finally finish up that engineering degree, got all of my Gen eds out of the way and me and my fiancée have even moved out to be closer to the school.

Did my first calc 2 lesson today, had so much trouble following even though I took my meds, we broke into groups and I was less than useless, didn’t remember a lick from calc 1, very foundational shit. One little shit even laughed at me when I tried to answer something.

I already have a pretty big learning disability I’m working with, I feel like I’m going to have to relearn all the concepts from the first class just to keep up in this one. Not a great start to my school career and not making me feel great about picking school back up at 30.

That’s it, respond how you want, I just think I needed to write this out to organize my thoughts on the matter

    I’ll be honest it does actually make me feel kinda badass when I’m grouped with a bunch of young’uns and you have way more social and practical skillsets.

    I remember I was helping in an intro to engineering project and my team was just blown away that I could make dumb little CAD animations of our robot moving for the presentation, felt like a rock star
