5th Day of Classes

Drip...drip...here I slop through the parking lot. At least I left at 6:30 a.m. this morning! What has been taking 1 1/2 hours to drive only took 1 hour! Getting to school by 7:30 a.m. allowed me to park closer than I have all week.

Algebra went a lot easier today! It is amazing how much easier the homework is when you wait to complete it after the lecture. Although this week has been primarily a review, I had to dig deep into the tiny recesses of my brain to retrieve the simplest of equations and rules. My challenge now will be with accuracy and not making careless errors.

English Composition is not nearly as scary, but I've not been graded on anything, yet. The first time around I remember toiling over every word before it hit the page. I would write ideas, set up an outline, re-arrange the outline, write a draft and revise multiple times before getting my final essay. Sounds like the normal process, right? Not when you take a day and half to complete each step. After being in the work place for a while, I've adapted to a "getter done" process. It will be interesting to see if that will fly or if I should be taking more time.

I'm still in my Psychology class although after looking at my requirements for my degree I realized I had a "B" in Economics, I won't need both Economics and Psychology. I've enjoyed this class so much, I decided to stick with it. I think my professor has a lot of experience and knowledge to share that will benefit my career goals.

The rain is beginning to slow and now I'm home to catch up with work, family and home. If only I had a folding machine for the clothes!
