thought for the day

Sometimes being a student can be hard...especially at my age.  Actually, age really has nothing to do it with, it is just a scapegoat.  It is just very frustrating at times because it is something i have not been in a long time.  Today, in my stats class, i got very frustrated.  Stats is not easy and it is harder for me because i have not been in a math class for 22 years now.  Sometimes, the teacher goes too fast and it is hard to keep up.  i know that i am not the only one who feels lost, but it sure does feel that way at times.

i have realized, as talking with one of my classmates after class, that for me, it is all in the way i approach it.  Math is its own language..one i have not spoken truly in a long, long time. i really need to take my time and read through things and problems before trying to work them out. It is a whole different way of looking at things from what i am use to these days.  And practice....i HAVE to practice...there goes the weekend LOL

i will figure this all out....literally and figuratively.  In the meantime, i will keep my fingers crossed and keep plugging away at it.  And graphing calculators really help.

Cheers
