Thinking that actually choosing to do maths and really apply myself to it rather than it being mandatory would make me be able to understand it. We're only covering high school stuff and I just sit there and stare at the page as a massive headache starts, x_x. It's like my brain just blocks anything to do with maths. Oh, I can balance 1000 chemical equations but give me ab = c over x squared minus 82 + 5 and my brain weeps.
