Yes I had the same thing with Geometry. I began to use it so often in my shop classes that it was a breeze. Then came Algebra, well lets say that it's been a struggle since then. I'm now in calc 1 and I'm also seeing that not taking a trig class is really hindering me. If only there was a good way to relate all these calc problems to something practical I believe I would do much better, but till then I'll limp through it.
