slowly failing

6.004 Sucks.

I haven't missed a lecture.  I haven't missed a recitation.  I pay
attention.  When all the material is flying around, I think that i'm
getting The Point.  From what little i've gleaned about all this material,
it even makes sense.

But then i do the problem sets, and i know that i'm totally lost.  Does
everyone start this class with years of experience behind them, or is it
just SIPB?  The notation is alien; the concepts aren't intuitive; i'm
amazed my labs work...  but then, there isn't any thinking in those; it's
just Wire Pin 4 To Pin 16.

It's almost like taking two different classes entirely.  And i won't be
slowly failing after the upcoming exam, i'll be quickly failing.

but then, i'm tired, so of course this is very depressing to me.  and i
don't know why i'm so tired, either...
