Quite possibly the hardest I ever worked in in any class was my effort to pass AP calculus my senior year of high school. The goal of passing the exam and testing out of math in college was paradise on my horizon: just imagine it, no more math class, EVER! I danced with joy when I got the test results back and saw that my score was high enough to get out of the gen ed requirement. Eventually I realized that the gen ed requirement at my college was to take a lab and a non-lab science/math class, so I wouldn't necessarily have had to take math again regardless. Oh well.
Had the same experience with stats at CC. Got a C and as a 3.8 student it was my happiest moment. Then I learned I needed 3 more quarters of Stat for my major. Stats at university was a fucking breeze compared to CC.

At least out valiant struggles built character, right? Right?
