No Maths?

Hey there!

Recap I am taking computer science at UKM.

It’s my second semester. And guess what? No math!

I was excited and almost suspicious by the fact we had no maths this semester. My whole life since little up until last semester, maths is a subject I couldn’t avoid.

I was never good at maths but I kinda liked maths. I liked it better than biology, which swiftly14 (another author of this blog) takes.

The reason I had applied for computer science (as my first choice, btw!) was that I hated memorization and wanted something more practical. Something we could see the output as soon as we put in the input.

Physics was actually my second choice. I loved the maths of physics and how it relates to our everyday life.

I had a harder time picturing for chemistry and biology.

Though I admit biology is a fun subject, there were too many terms, processes and names you had to remember. Simply put, I had an awful memory and had a hard time focusing.

To me, maths was something that didn’t exactly require a lot of memorization. You just had to remember a few formulas -maybe- then you could apply it to any question.

Its funny and my past self would be hella confused by how I am basically writing a whole post about my love for maths. Though, I rarely got high scores for it.

This semester there are more lab sessions. All my subjects have lab sessions. So it isn’t that bad. I still am able to see the output and understand better.

I just love testing things out and learning.

You can’t do that with history or biology. I mean biology you can test things out. But some things are just facts.

Hahahaha…I wonder how swiftly14 would react to me basically insulting the course she is taking. 😛

It was so stressful during my SPM years and Matriculation years in biology. That’s just how much I was bad it. Truthfully, (not sure if this assumption is true or not) I don’t think you can get an A in biology unless you have a fondness for it.

I mean based on my experience, the people who got good scores on it was in love with the subject. They liked knowing small facts about our body for a long time and the processes the happen within our own body intrigues them.

Unless you have good memorization skills and work hard, of course- you could still ace bio but I doubt you would continue to take bio by choice. You could get many things if you work hard despite your hate for it. But it wouldn’t be the same. A bitter struggle. Not the same passion as the others.

Anyway, my conclusion is math is fun! You need maths in your life, it helps you think out of the box and get better problem-solving skills. And bio sucks! Muahahahaha…okay no. Just joking.

Computer Science Rules! Yeah!

I am taking database, data structure (basically just programming) and computer network technology this semester. No math.

This post was meaningless and was just my way of procrastinating. Sorry to those who read it till the end.

I don’t even like maths that much….
