#Now instead I'm doing a bit of mental and written arithmetic every day

Medal awarded to local adult, university graduate, who finally understands long division
#Some self-congratulation is in order#Even though I'm pretty sure like 9 year olds could do it better#Still working on being able to do it in my head because that's difficult if there's a lot of numbers#But hey this is a big step for me#The closest I came last time was maybe in my early teens and then I just memorised the process#and didn't actually understand it so I promptly forgot how to do it and got stuck very easily#Insert that 'It's been 84 years' meme from Titanic here#Glad I skipped ahead to the algebra chapter in the textbook though#Every other time I've tried to relearn maths I've not allowed myself to move on till I mastered the basic arithmetic chapter#And that actually held me up because my number skills are crap so when I kept making stupid mistakes#I would get discouraged and give up#Now instead I'm doing a bit of mental and written arithmetic every day#But ploughing ahead with the other chapters regardless#and since I understand basic algebra much better than trying to carry a bunch of numbers around in my head#It's been much more fun (algebra my beloved)
