Back At It
The co-ed has survived...so far. The servers were screwed up in my computer class yesterday...wouldn't let anyone create a user name & password. The instructor was kind enough to let me leave early so I wouldn't be too late for my algebra class. Bad news is that I have to go in this morning and take the pre-test that I missed yesterday by leaving early. Good news is that the computer class is self-taught & doesn't actually meet, and all I have to do is email my homework & tests in by the deadlines. (I'll leave the subject of why I have to pay #$@@!#@!* $300+ to teach myself Office XP for another day.)
It was a good thing that I was only a few minutes late to algebra, because we hit the ground running with graphing & slope line intercept formulas. I was as lost as a goose for the first 30 minutes or so....it's been almost 25 years since I've done algebra at this level. It's starting to slowly come back...but it makes my brain hurt to retrieve information buried that deeply in my wittle head.
Now I have to go finish my homework and figure out how to use this new-fangled contraption called a "TI-83 Plus" graphing calculator. Kids got it so easy today...why, back in my day we had to graph equations by drawing lines in the dirt with a blunt stick....and we all had to share the same stick.
*ahem*

We couldn't afford a stick.
