Frustrating

I had a pop quiz in the Statics+Dynamics+Material class yesterday. I DID not do well. Honestly, I have been very lost in that class, as I have mentioned before, the professor is a book reader, I haven't learned much from him. So, on the quiz, it was a truss question. I tried to use "method of joints" to solve the problem, but it took me forever and still didn't finish a bit. Then after the quiz, break time, I asked the professor how to appoach that kind of questions. He said I should use "method of sections". Then I told him I didn't get it and don't know how to use that methond. He didn't answer me directly and just kind of ignored me. And then after the break, one of my classmate told the professor that he didn't know how to use "method of sections". The professor, again, DID NOT answer my classmate, and kind of skipped the whole topic and started a new chapter. I was very very mad about that. How could a professor found out that some of the students didn't understand something and still ignored it and not re-teach it again? Some students asked the professor throw away the quiz because they thought they didn't do well. At the end of class, the professor said, 'Should I throw away the quiz? If it's that bad, I don't want to spend time reading it.", and we said, "YES!!". I am very scared, I feel like I were in the maths class which I took in HK, which I had the same kind of professor who only read the book. And I failed that class real bad. I am having the same feeling that I am going to fail this class...

My late Valentine's Day gift has arrived yesterday.

It's a Hello Kitty sewing machine!! Although I don't know how to sew, I am very excited to have it. My mom used to sew for living, my mom-in-law and my sister-in-law knows how to sew. I feeling like I need to know also. Plus, I have always wanted to learn. I can't wait to start using it, but I have to wait until I completely finish reading the "teach myself how to sew" book. :D
