I studied for several years. I endured the boring lectures and enjoyed the interesting ones. I worked my brain and I still am today. The more I work it, the better it gets. Work that was hard before are no longer hard and possibly easy. Some work is harder than others. I do not fear or avoid it. I practice until I am able to understand. If I am unable to understand, then the questions will be asked. If answers to the questions do not make sense, then I will attend tutoring. Then I would be able to understand the material.  I rather do something else but this is something that is worth my time.  This hard work that I have done will hopefully pay off in the future. That is what I am expecting. That is usually the outcome.
