Since yesterday, I think I've come to the conclusion that doing a dual major in management is NOT worth it, especially since my interests lie more in finance than management. I can get a good minor and probably be just as hireable. It's a bummer that RPI doesn't actually offer a finance major, but what can you do.
Another unfortunate conclusion I've come to is that I am completely lost in DSA. I follow everything in class, but attempting half of the first homework assignment has immediately humbled me. The good news is that I finally made a friend in my major ('bout time!) and we split up the assignment so that it's not so intimidating. Despite that it's half as long, I'm still at a standstill on a few parts. I swear mathematical proofs and matrices have it out for me. Tonight will be a long night.
I realized this too late since I don't work again until after DSA class tomorrow, but the other guy I TA with on Mondays and Thursdays is actually a DSA tutor and TA as well. I haven't really talked to him, but maybe this is a good incentive to be friendly. I get the feeling that I'm going to need a wicked lot of help in this class.
You should definately seek out help! Don't sit on this and hope the class will suddenly become clear. Words to the wise from someone who made that mistake in statistics. I never recovered!

If I remember correctly, you recovered by retaking the class. I don't really have the credit hours for that, so I will definitely seek out help when necessary. Thanks for commenting Mom!
