OpenStudy (anonymous):

my life's work is complete now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thank you. xD now I'm going to go read my text book because I suck at this math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its alright. you should probably just do all the odd problems and check your answers. some people could read the text 1000 times and still not get it. just go in elbow deep in the problem set. if you cant understand it by reading.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I will do that. Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
