so here goes Tuesday
Yesterday was a relatively laid back day. I applied for a job, and did my
hour of exercise. I remembered to read a short story from the collection I
have sitting on my coffee table. I really need to ship the Braille back to
my local library. I still prefer to read Braille using paper as apposed to
the 80-cell display I have. If I had a note taker, I'd probably use it to
read web Braille, but I don't like being tied to a computer for leisure
reading.
I applied for another job today, and once again did my hour of exercise. I
have a lunch meeting with a family friend to get his take on where the world
of computers is headed. I'm still feeling up in the air about where my life
should be heading.
I discovered that the most basic math course at the university starts with
an algebra review, but quickly moves to trigonomitry. I asked what people
who feel they need more than a quick review of algebra should do and I was
told I should seek out other educational resources. I called the technical
college and find out they have two math tests: one basic math, and one
algebra and beyond. I'm going to take both tests, and then hopefully start a
math course in the fall. I need to act fast, as getting math books in
Braille is challenging with only a couple months to school starting. I have
faith in my local agency for the blind, so am sure it can be done. I am
also planning to see if there is a computer course I can take at the u of m
that will require little math in order to compete. There must be one, but
it may take some writing to individual professors
Off to take a shower, and get ready for my lunch meeting.
