Diurnal

Today was my third day of classes and I already feel my head swelling with information, apprehension and just general discomfort. I commute to EMCC from Swanville and my first class is @ 10:00 on Wednesdays, which may not seem like a big deal to all of you "early risers" out there; you know, the ones who can't wait to get started on their day. However, for me, Iwas just born without that gene and waking up at 7:30 is like geting hit by a freight train and living to tell the tale. I AM NOT a morning person! So, needless to say after abot 5 cups of coffee and a nice warm shower I was still dragging myself out the door and off to start my hour long drive. As you know, driving is boring, especially by yourself, and more than once I found myself nodding off a little, what a horrible feeling. I never thought that I would come out of it, but of course I did, and by the middle of my first class I was definately more lively, thank God. My second class is full of despair and headaches. I am an artist, not a mathmatician, and for the life of me I cannot seem to pass a college algebra class no matter how hard I try. It is so so frustrating to concentrate all of your effort into one class and watch as you don't make the grade. I am determined to be master of my domain this year so watch out Fibonacci!

My experience is that no one in Swanville has ever been that good at math, starting with me, my wife, my son, my dogs... and now you!

Actually, my daughter has a pretty good head for it... but she lives out of state where all the math heads congregate.
