School!

My math class is going quite well so far. I was nervous to begin with because of covering 12 weeks of information in 6 weeks. Good thing it is Algebra 1, so I should be able to ace it even though it is condensed. We're covering 3 chapters of information and having 3 tests as well as homework and a quiz every day that we don't have a test. The first two days were basic review of fractions and the real number system, which it's pretty sad to say that I needed the review. But alas, I did:) I did my practice test for chapter 0 last night and got all the odd answers right. As long as I practice things, I can usually memorize quickly.

Computer Science 120 is going to be a bit more challenging, I think. David thinks it's funny that I am taking a basic computer science class ON the computer. We went and got a flash drive over the weekend, and I figured out how to set everything up for the entire term all by myself (with the basic instructions for how many folders/sub-folders to make and what to name them. It has taken me a bit of time, but I think I'll do alright. Just need to crack open that textbook and start learning how to do more things. Some of what we'll be learning is terminology, the history of computing, and learning how to use Excel, Power Point, Word, etc. I know Word and Power Point well enough, but don't really know a lot of terminology, so that screwed me up on the placement test. That and the fact that I have never used Excel before.
