There are ten kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary numerals and those who don't

-Ian Stewart

I thought I was over addition and subtraction. I thought I already mastered the art of adding and subtracting. I know that:

0+0=0;

1+0=1;

0+1=1;and

1+1=2

However, I didn't know that 1+1 can also be equal to 10.That's when I knew that my life is screwed.

When I realized that there are a lot of things that I need to know, I started to pay attention in class. Especially in IT1 because I think I am so dumb whenever I attend that class. I feel so horrible. Just kidding! I actually like attending that class because i always learn something new. But I didn't expect that "something new" to be somewhat difficult. To be honest, I find it quite confusing. Yes. I am confused again. Sometimes it is easy. Sometimes it is not. I don't know if it is just the examples or not. All I know is at some points, I find it difficult to understand or hard to grasp. At some points. Not all the time.

I actually like working with someone. Two heads working are better than one. At least, I am not the only one who will suffer while dealing with those ones and zeroes. Kidding! 

I will study hard to get the whole context. I will use my spare time to review this lesson again so I can fully understand it. I will try my best not to give up on binary arithmetic. 

Exams are coming. Binary arithmetic, I love you. Please don't be too hard on me.

When  I was in high school, I thought I was good in Math. When I came here, I realized, my good wasn't good enough. Our team got the lowest score in the Inter-lab Quiz Con earlier. I feel bad. Not because we got the lowest score but because I thought I let my teammates down. I exerted effort and I tried to answer the questions correctly but it seems that I got confused on the numbers and letters.

The number systems is new to me. We didn't tackle that lesson in high school so I find it hard to understand. At first, I thought it was easy because it is just about the fundamental operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I was shocked because when the quiz con started, I found the number systems so confusing. Maybe I need to study more. Maybe I need to allot more time to understand the number system fully.

"What's so hard about the number systems?" "You will just use 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and A, B, C, D, E, F." 

The number systems and binary is not difficult to grasp. It is just confusing at some points in time. I believe the time will come that I will master the number systems and it will be just basic to me. Who knows? Dreams do come true, right? 

All in all, I had fun listening and participating in our class. The video played was funny and informative same as the video played last time. Like what I've said, IT class was never boring. It is one of the most fun classes. What we did today, the discussion about the number systems and the quiz con, will be forever etched in my mind ( especially the score we got (: )
