I'm here

And yes, I'm still blogging, Jill. However, MY welcome to 2010 was not marked by a numbing loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl but the terror that is Intermediate Algebra. I do over an hour of math homework a day and still am not sure whether or not I am getting things right by accident or not. Plus there is a little something called "MATH 95 SUPPLEMENTAL PACKAGE" that goes along with the math homework. This would not be noteworthy but for the fact that I have absolutely no idea how to do anything in it. I mean, for the first time ever in my online/classroom math experience, I am a model student. I watch the video lectures. I read the chapters and do all the exercises. You give me a problem out of the MATH 95 SUPPLEMENTAL PACKAGE and it's like, "Huh?" Perhaps it is just to remind us that we need to take Math 95 seriously. And let's not forget the specter of Anatomy & Physiology II that is looming as well. I am not sure if flash cards will take me as far as they did last term.

So that's what I've been doing. I did spend about two hours today looking for my quarterly tax coupon in my toy infested basement. I have a big box of papers that sat underneath the bin of moon sand in my laundry room, so the federal government and the State of Oregon will be getting a faintly pink and gritty tax coupon along with my checks. It is NOT anthrax and if they arrest me, Jill, I will expect you to defend me.

Back to math homework. Let me know if anyone needs help adding and subtracting fractions or finding the LCD. I am all over that. However, if you need help with f(x)<1 you are SOL.
