Since today was the last day to drop a class without a grade, I decided that Calculus is way over my head, and thus instead of ending up with a W or (F if I didn't drop later), I dropped it. Apparently there is a ton of algebra that you need to know when doing Calculus. My last algebra class was the first semester of my freshman year in high school. I had Mr. Bultman, and he was a fantastic teacher. I actually really enjoyed his class. I did not realize that I actually needed to retain all the information from Algebra II so I could do well in my college Calculus class almost 11 years later (yes, I'm pretty sure that I was in that class in the fall of 2000). Oh well, now I only have one class, and I'll be able to find a job (hopefully). I'm kicking myself for not taking the internship though, because that would be perfect now. I think I may just try to find a coffee shop job, and then do some volunteer work either with Habitat for Humanity or with Five Rivers Metroparks. I need to see if MUM or Sinclair offers an algebra class that I can audit so I can relearn the algebra for this Calc class.
In much better news, I got an 82 on my first BIO test of the quarter. The class average was 69% and there were only 2 As in the entire 200+ class. I think that's a pretty good start to the quarter in there. The lab part of the class is pretty easy, so I think I'll be fine in this class (especially with my extra study time).
Now I'm going to try to take a nap, and then get ready for Relay for Life tonight at WSU. Of course, the weather is supposed to be gross tonight, but maybe it will be fun to play in the rain (and possible thunderstorms). I did RFL once when I was a kid, but I don't really remember what it was like. Should be a cool experience though, and its all for a great cause.
Anyhoo... it's nap time!
