Back to the grind

First day back to school and I must say....not too bad. Today was College Algebra for Non-Scientific Majors and I am taking the easiest math possible because I am afraid of math. I'm not sure when the fear set in...I took a lot of math all through Jr. High and High School- pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and college algebra but I struggled through all of them; I never did any better than a B-. Anyway, I have avoided math for 2 1/2 year of college and now I have to bite the bullet. The professor seems nice enough and the book looks more like 8th or 9th grade math so I think I'm going to be okay. There will only be three tests that will determine the entire grade(I'm a little twitted out about that) and we have assigned problems from the book however we don't have to turn any of it in. Weird but whatever; I guess I'm going to have to be an adult in this class because there will no one to report to except me.

On a totally different subject-I walk for about 45 minutes every morning; Monday mornings are always the most interesting because just based on the trash people leave on the curb I know what type of home improvement project they did over the weekend. One neighbor got new mattresses, another got a new dishwasher and a new trash compactor, and someone did some MAJOR spring cleaning. Just like you'd like to know.
