school's not out for summer...

I registered for my Summer and Fall courses yesterday.  I also switched from a diploma program to a degree program.  I ended up having to take a bunch of math because frankly I suck at math and so it's probably going to take about a year to finish up.  Before you tell me you are awesome at math/a math teacher/a motherfucking numeric sorcerer, let me explain that I have been tutored pretty constantly in math my entire existence and I don't get it.  I actually have two learning disabilities, dyslexia and dyscalculia.  I had lots of help overcoming my dyslexia because if was apparent from a young age.  For instance I was mirror writing, so there was an obvious problem, we addressed it, and now I feel like I have a pretty decent grasp on reading and writing.  However, the dyscalculia was something I had never heard of until a friend suggested I might have it after explaining my severe struggles with math, money management, telling time on an analog clock, and anything involving numbers in general.  So there is an actual medical reason that I don't "get" math. Blah blah blah, I'm stuck in dumb dumb math for a bit.  I'll get through it eventually.

So for summer I'm taking
Math 98
Composition and Rhetoric
Web Graphics I

Which reminds me, if anyone has a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS6 they don't mind parting with, please let me know.  I don't really have $600 to shell out for the entire program but I also absolutely have to have it for summer & fall. (Plus, you know, $600 more dollars for the insanely overpriced books for the classes).

All my summer classes are online so that I won't have to juggle finding a ride to and from school and a sitter for Alden.  So it's awesome that it worked out that way.  In the fall I'll have to go for 2 and the other 2 will be online. Hopefully, I'll have a car that's running properly and a license by then, I guess we'll see...

In Fall I'm taking
Math 99
Web Graphics II
Sociology 
C#

So that's what I'll be up to the next two semesters.

After that I will have
College Algebra
Web Development II
Music Appreciation 
and an Internship

Then I SHOULD be finished.  So YAY for that!

I didn't get sucked up in the storm yesterday, but I want to thank everyone who was calling/texting/tweeting/etc at me to make sure I was not blown to the land of Oz.

Today I filled out my first Nielson TV survey, I guess if it's interesting enough they'll send me more?  If they are wanting "things I actually watch on TV when they are on TV" they are going to be sorely disappointed, because I watch a whopping ONE TV show a week when it's on TV.  If they watching count TV 'online' then they are in for a serious treat because I watch ALL THE THINGS (that don't suck).

Anyway so far so good this week.  Next week is Weeman's spring break and mine is the week after that so we're going to have to find something fun to get into.

Everyone have a lovely rest of the week!
