thanks. i had to look up 'bilious' :)
i'm hanging in there... enjoying physics, actually. the lecturer gives us nice, clear notes (so far at least) and i can work through them okay (with the help of the internet to plug gaps in my knowledge). the pacing of summer school might be a bit fast for me (condensed high school curriculum, apparently), but i will always have the notes! and i'll just progress through them as best i can in the time i have.
i'll go see the maths department tomorrow about figuring how to best fix up my maths... i am not entirely sure i know what maths is... (e.g., the physics guy says 'we aren't doing maths - just substitutions')... so i don't know. i suppose it is just the difference between learning the language (e.g., learning polish notation for logic) and actually doing logic... but it seems to me that mechanics (anyway) just is a bunch of transformations from L,M,T. or... maybe i misunderstood...
i suspect it is just a matter of my being properly humble and putting in the time to learn whatever it is i need to learn. whether it is doing 5 minutes per day on my times tables (5s to 9s) etc... or whatever...
