Algebra you are my Bitch
Ok so i know im goign to have alot of things to explain, first off, where the hell i've been.
WORK. seriously its been hell we were well on our way to workinga month straight, as in no weekends or anything, fortunately I got A day off, and slept through most of it.
For those that dont know im starting college back up in April. for my degree I need 3 points of math, I am going for intermediate algebra which is worth 4 (go me) however for those of you that know me you all know my handicap when it comes to math. *insert math related excuse here*
Im required to take a pretest that decides if i qualify for the class of if i have to take the preclass (worth three points, but not offered this semester) I took it and failed horribly but it gave me an understanding what the test is looking for so I busted out my algebra text book (I rescued several old text books awhile back and keep them for reference)
I have since begun to teach myself college algebra. Holy crap my brain is fried, I am however on schedule to retake the pretest at the end of the month (the class starts early april) and I feel much more confident. Should i in worst case fail its not that big of a set back since Im only allowed to take one class my first semester andmy fall back is an art class as a general elective so that will help because A) its worth credithours i need and B) it will keep my GPA up allowing me to take multiple classes next semester.
SAWEEET!
in other news. I might be going from being just a childrens swim team coach to an adult swim team coach as well. me and my stupid ideas and people who helped get the ball rolling, if only by rolling it off the cliff.
More to come on that im sure.
I ran two miles today, it nearly killed me. once I was done I felt alot better so I dont think Im that out of shape I just need to get back into shape and of course im sure running in 30 degree weather doesnt help.
Im listening to the Strokes and chatting with friends.
How are you all? What are you up to?
