Classy in Current Events

I just had my first class. I’m overwhelmed, as per usual. Why? Math! I need a strong understanding of what I’m doing. I need to see it in my head. Luckily, I took Applied Math this time last year. I’m rusty but I know how to express standard and scientific notations. We practiced some algebra as well, just isolating variables. That wasn’t foreign to me because of the Physics class that I bombed. We are not doing any chemistry yet. We are learning how to write in science, as I’m calling it. We are converting metric measurements and I know how to use a conversion chart but this is more challenging because it just has to be. I wasn’t the only person that was lost when she gave us 16 questions to practice with. I let her help everybody else in the class and I just sat there and looked busy with a headache. I’ll troubleshoot tomorrow after work. I’ll go to Khan Academy online and get the deeper understanding that I need. Then I will need to practice.

I’m starting to think that I won’t have time for my other projects. I am considering dropping to 4 shifts a week. The company is offering that to full-timers. We can keep our benefits and f/t status. I could use that time for my projects and studies.

Speaking of my projects, one of my journals did not get approved. I think it was the second one. The size was not good enough. This is a piss off because this means that I will have to redo all of them. Word is still out on the first one with IBSN issue. Blah!
