That's what algebra was like for me. I never was able to develop any intuition for algebra. Calculus on the other hand was very intuitive for me.
Algebra was like solving a puzzle where you randomly move pieces around to try to get them in order. There didn't seem to be any real principles involved. Just a set of rules to memorize.
