I bought math review packets from Inver Hills’ Bookstore to study for the math assessments. I’d really like to be able to pass them so I don’t have to take a pre-college level math course.

Over the past 3 days I’ve been working on the first packet, which I’ve done pretty decent on, it’s all pre-algebra stuff. Today I got into the algebraic problems and I don’t understand ANY of it!!! This is so discouraging… I even went online to work on their problems they have posted as well. Yup, it’s all Greek. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

This leads me to the conclusion that I will need to do the summer math class, which makes me so sad. It’s a $660 course and takes 3-nights a week for 7 weeks.

But, on the up side, I will actually learn the math! I’m sure it will be helpful in my Intro to Statistics math course I have to take for college credit and it will help in the pursuit of my bachelors as well. So I guess I will just suck it up and take the class.

So, once I pass the pre-college math class I will only have 6 classes left to take next school year for my Associate of Arts w/emphasis on Psychology:
Social Psychology
Intro to Statistics
Intro to Literature
The Research Paper
Natural Geology
Creative Writing
