Study Squirrel!

[JoeC]

I just got out of a 10 hour study shift (that's after I subtracted the lunch hour).

My math test is tomorrow. If you're up between 8 and 10 o'clock EST, remember to whisper a prayer for me.

It's been pretty difficult this semester. I tested into Intermediate algebra (equivalent to alg. 2), but I hadn't taken an algebra course in 3 years and I didn't put a whole lotta effort into it then (though I still managed an acceptable grade then).

So, compund the rusty gears with learning study skills (my homeschool course let me do open book test), it's been a difficult semester for math. I hope that next semester math goes easier 'cause I have a much heavier course load.

Gopd bless and keep me in your prayers!

[blessed]

will keep u in my prayers...and u keep the faith :D

[Christian-Samurai]

maybe you should have gone with art, less math to worry about lol

[collegegirl]

I know how that goes. I am praying for you. :congrats: You will do good. I know you will.

Just got out of the final and I feel relieved! 20+ hours of study time for that thing this week alone!

On the way to college I listened to Sherri LaFontaine "My Want's Been Changed." That got me into the Spirit of the Lord and carried me through the rest of the test. Granted, there was a lot of anxiety going on. I really need to work on my speed - some ppl were handing in their tests when I was only half way done! Grrr... :tongue:

[Christian-Samurai]

dont worry about speed Joe, maybe those ppl got it maybe they didnt, just cause they finishes sooner doesnt me they were correct. You take the time you need and get it done right :D dont let the others bother ya :thumbup:

[JoeC]

Thanks, but if I'm taking an hour and a half for an algebra test, what's it gonna be like when I get to calc? yikes(!)

[Christian-Samurai]

Sure I understand the need to want to get it done and overwith but you know what happens when you rush things

[collegegirl]

I am usually the first one done with my test. I usually score pretty high too. Lately, I have made myself slow down, but I just need to "brain dump", and get rid of all of the stuff that could leave my mind very quickly. I just get excited and anxious at the same time, and that kinda makes me go faster. :bouncie:

[Christian-Samurai]

no one should get that excited over calc or algebra unless they are a math nerd

[JoeC]

math is cool. each problem is like a puzzle. my problem is that I want to have fun with it - look at it from all the different angles, instead of just doing the ONE way.

:nerd: nerd alert :nerd: nerd alert :nerd:

I hated math in High School, but this first semester has been really interesting. It helps having someone to ask questions of - a little thing can really give you a mental block, keeping a guy from learning anything else. :ng_thumbd

[Christian-Samurai]

you tell him sister :D

[collegegirl]

Just as long as you aren't afraid to ask questions. As long as you know how to get past that block, than that makes you smart.

[Christian-Samurai]

I prefer class clown :D

[JoeC]

it figures

[collegegirl]

Okay, I see that going nowhere quickly. I am both. THere is a time for seriousness, and a time for joking around. I like both. I am just glad I got all of my finals done. :yay: Hey, :aaaah: today is the 19th. I can see my grades online. I will tell ya'll how I did.

[blessed]

did u get it, did u get soooooo what did u get ...ohhhh im excited

[Christian-Samurai]

well being as talented as I am, what else do you do when your bored in class

[HotShot53]

Rats, my grades aren't up for this semester yet :(

Lol, on any test using numbers I'm like one of the first done... any test with essays I'm always close to last done.... numbers are better than words :)

[Christian-Samurai]

numbers can make words :D 533 wh47 | m34n

I'm last on both. I'm meticulous and expressive. I think I'm the only one who fills out the written portion of our instructor evaluation sheet - everyone else just fills out the bubbles.

[collegegirl]

I do both, but no matter what I do, if I take my time, I am always the last person when it comes to some things, but others, I whizz through it.

[collegegirl]

WHAT?!!!! I just checked to see if they were up, and now it is saying that they will be up tomorrow. It had said the 19th. I want to see my grades. :ranting:

[JoeC]

did you get em' did you get em' huh huh huh?

[collegegirl]

*wails* NOOOOoooooo........!!!!!! :ranting: They haven't posted them yet. I know that for Supervisory/Leadership skills I got an A, Business Law I (online) I got a B, for my Co-op I got an A. I had other classes, oh, Sanitation, I think I got an A, quite possibly an A in Beverage Management, but for Food Production I a B is in the works, me thinks. Now it says I won't be able to get them until tomorrow, the 21st. Arrrrggghh! :ranting:

[Christian-Samurai]

maybe they just posted the first ones to throw you off heh now they will post the real grades
