It has been nearly three months since I began to study mathematics by my own.

In fact, I wanna achieve a due degree on economics in Peking University; however, as you can dream of, there are hundreds of students applying for these limited quotas, for it is the only teaching program which recruits students outside its own campus. The entrance exam, including English, mathematics and Chinese will be held on May 10th.

Mathematics is the most baffling subject among the whole, because as an English major student, I never got the chance to learn calculation and algebra. As a result, I have to study them by myself. I was once a mathematics fan, however, this time I find myself are far more puzzled than any times before. It is during these three months that I profoundly recognize the significant roles which teachers are playing in our learning process. Without guidance from teachers, I find myself less efficient than those who have teachers.

In order to learn as much as possible, I go to the library every day, whereas there are still so many books to read while fewer and fewer time was left. Besides, final exams are around the corner, arranged quite close to the date of my entrance exam. I am kind of wearied out actually. To squeeze the schedule, I have quitted several trips, sacrificed many sleeping hours, given up watching concerts and maintained a monotonous life.

However, it is worth for me. Not only did I become more logical, but also I gained more patience. If I am lucky to pass the exam, I believe I will obtain more than that. Therefore, no matter how bitter and tired it is, I will persist in what I firmly believe.

Fighting! Fighting!
