Reflections on Physics

This is a picture of me at China Walls. If you can't tell by my face, I'm not very happy. I was trying to climb back up, but the sets were coming in fast, and the rocks were very slippery. After a while, I became very frustrated and waited to climb up the other rocks.  This is kind of like how I feel about Physics. It's a bit frustrating for me, as I find the tests really difficult.  There are a lot of concepts and equations, and I usually panic during the tests, resulting in not-so-good grades. Also, the homework is sometimes difficult as there are many steps to all the problems. I would like it more if we went over all the problems in depth in class, but I know that time doesn't always allow that. I like the labs a lot, and I have an easier time understanding the concepts, I'm not sure why. I think to improve in the subsequent quarters, I should do more practice problems and come in for help right when I start to get confused. This can prevent my frustration on my tests and quizzes, and ultimately would help me get a better grade.  Thankfully, physics is very interesting, and I at least am able to stay awake in class, and when I'm doing my assignments :) Hopefully, by making these adjustments, I will be able to raise my physics grade, and won't be as frustrated as I was that day at China's.
