Calculus Conundrums

Oy! I'm wondering if Calculus homework is going to be the death of me this quarter. From about 1 until 6ish (with a break to drive home from the coffee shop I was working at), all I did was work on Calculus homework. Of course, this would be great if I wasn't having trouble figuring out what I was doing wrong. I feel like I haven't really gotten much accomplished on my homework, but I suppose that I have. I think I'll be able to get caught up to where I should be according to the schedule, so that will be nice. I have my first quiz in there tomorrow, and I'm not really sure how to go about studying for it. Since the quiz is only 10 points (I believe), I imagine that it will only be a problem or two (since there are so many steps to each problem and so little time in class), but I am hoping that I'll be prepared enough to do well on it. I'm lucky because my professor gives partial credit if you at least attempt the problem, so I think I should be good on that part, but I would like to actually do things correctly instead of having to guess. After tomorrow's quiz I hope I'll be able to gauge how the rest of the class will go, and how much extra time (though I hope won't need any) I will need to make sure I understand the material well enough for tests. Oy! Anyhoo... better get back to work. I just took a nice dinner break with my friend Amanda, so I was lucky to spend some time outside to enjoy the awesome weather. I just wish I could have spent my day on the bike instead of in the books.
