The plan today was to sit down and conquer at least part of my algebra homework (there are at least 50 questions, easily) in the attempt to get ahead of things over there. Instead, I started my work day by going through the ten review questions that were expected knowledge on day one of the… Read More Maybe Not
I went to my first algebra class this morning. Things look pretty straightforward. There will be ten take-home quizzes, about eight homework assignments, and four tests plus an optional final. But there’s a bit of a catch. As part of the syllabus I received today, there’s a sample test of things you should already know… Read More An Uphill Climb
… well, kind of. Last night was my first class for biology fundamentals, a class designed to prepare me for the entrance assessment for anatomy & physiology I, which is a pre-requisite for my actual degree, diagnostic cardiovascular sonography. Even though we spent the whole session reviewing the syllabus and getting tips and tricks on… Read More The Homework Begins
Tonight was my first college class. I was scheduled to have a morning class today but it was cancelled by the delayed opening due to Harvey, so the evening class was my introduction. I left the house at 5:00 for a 6:00 class, and even taking the back roads and avoiding the gridlock that is… Read More Over the First Hurdle
I’ve been worried about the weather here in Texas. For those that don’t know, I’m in north Austin, and we’ve been getting rain very steadily for the past two days because of Hurricane Harvey. I haven’t seen any evidence of neighborhood flooding, but I’ve also been indoors all weekend and won’t go out on the… Read More Intersection of Concerns
Tonight I had my first bit of panic since starting this process of going back to school. I got an email from my biology instructor detailing where class notes can be found, as well as the syllabus. It’s the first communication that I’ve received that was class-specific and it took me aback for a few… Read More Stuff Gets Real
I’m falling asleep as I write this so this is going to be quick. Finished all my prep for classes on Monday. Hurricane Harvey is coming, and we’re prepared. Sleep now, more tomorrow.
Today’s going to be a short post, because I’m tired and I put it off until the last minute and I haven’t felt well today at all. Today I did as little as possible while a headache has grown in intensity throughout the day. As I write this my head is throbbing. And pain relievers… Read More Hurricane Headache
Yesterday was a big milestone here at mwmisoself.com, and I’m happy to share it with you, although it probably only concerns me. Before I get into that, I would like to take a moment to tell you that I have littered the internet with failed blogs. I spent a while today trying to remember them… Read More No Small Feat
This morning I slept until 8:15, when my alarm to feed the cats went off. So far this morning, it’s been a productive day. I’ve done all the items on my to-do list, and this blog post wraps up the rest of the floating items on my daily checklist. (For those new to the blog:… Read More Musings About Life and College
