Get at least a C.
:
Today was my first day of class. Anatomy and Physiology is going to be HARD. But I'll do it! I have my first labs tomorrow, so hopefully they'll go smooth.
As for Algebra, I was PETRIFIED of taking a math. I just got my assignments and HOW EASY!!!!! The book has 900 pages, but we will only be going up to page 64 this semster. Can you believe that?! And it's such simple stuff. Here's my first question:
Insert <, >, or = in the spaces between the numbers:
a. 2____3
b. 7____4
How simple! I feel so much better. It does get harder, but I can do it. If I get stumped, my hubby is so-so at math and he'll help me. He's sat down with me before and tried to show me things, but they were much harder problems. I feel much more confident now that I've gotten the assignments!

Nikki, I know you can get that C. I'll keep praying so that the Lord will help you study and retain the information you learn. 8-)

I need all the prayers I can get. I left school today full of nothing but doubt. The Anatomy and Physiology class is SO HARD. And today is only my 2nd day! I was fighting back tears. Most of the people in the class have had to take it more than once. I HAVE to get at least a C. They offer open labs, so I think I'll be going to those. I'm going to need all the help I can get.

I'll be praying for you Nikki, as well as the entire college board that all of you accomplish your goals.
For me, this semester started off pretty nasty. I signed up for a comp class I didn't need, dropped that. But the bigger problem was with my business comm class, which I need. It all started on Monday when I got out of my Eng class early, so I headed to it. Me and a friend ended up waiting over an hr since the teacher let out 20 min late since she was giving an assessment. Everyone that left the class was distraught to say the least, everyone was ticked, at least 5 people said they were ready to drop, one girl even left out and slammed the door. But long story short, after we finally got in and I got a look at what I'd gotten myself into, I wasn't sure if I was happy with what I saw. So dropping the computer class got me thinking if I wanted to get out; and Mon and Tues I was racking myself out wondering what to do.
I wasn't sure how things were going to go, but also I didn't like to walk away from challenges, so I was at conflict. I conducted a poll among my friends lol, 2 1/2 votes said try to stay, 3 said to RUN, literally. So Wednesday comes, and I decide I'll give the chance one more chance. Turns out probably 10 people dropped since Monday, and one girl got up and said she was dropping right before class lol. But, things don't look so bad now thankfully. Our class has a nice vibe about it since we're like the lone survivors lol. But yeah hopefully everything will turn out ok.
But with all of that said, my goals are to try to get some A's and B's, hopefully nothing under that. And beat the challenge of this Business comm class, I have to do some presentations and reports and whatnot, but I'm going to stand up to the challenge. I won't run away, I won't turn back, what doesn't kill me will make me stronger. I'm determined to do the best I can.

Zay,
I'm glad that I'm not the only one out there feeling this way!
I'm thinking of dropping my math class. I can take that this summer. This Anatomy class is gonna kill me. My teacher is SO clueless too. I asked about 12 questions the other day and she didn't know. She had to keep going back and looking in the book. :roll:
It's THE most important class though. My friend was shocked that I got in ito so soon. I found out that some people have been waiting almost 2 years to get in. So, I want to do my best. Algebra hasn't been as easy as I first thought. I did part of my assignments tonight and finally had to just stop. I got to the point that I didn't understand anything. So, instead of worrying about 2 classes, I want to focus on Anatomy.
I wish you luck. What class is it that you're thinking about dropping?

Well, I'm determined to give it a try. I still have time to drop it with a "Withdrawl Pass". I'm going to wait until after my first tests before I make any decisions. My hubby is going to sit down with me and help me with my math. He said that the way the book explains how to do it is really confusing. He said he can get the right answer, but he goes about it a much easier way. Hopefully I can understand HIS way better.
As for Anatomy, I went online to the blackboard and my instructor has a LOT of printable practice sheets and info. I'm going to get to work on those. I know that labeling is what our first lab test will be and there are a bunch of practice sheets.
It's so hard though.

Hi Nikki,
Yeah you're not the only one lol, the past week, especially the first few days, was a nightmare. The class I had to drop was a computers class I didn't need. After I thought about it for a while I felt it was best to get rid of it since I didn't need it, and that way I could focus on this business com class, which is part of my core requirements, business communications. And that class looks like it's going to be bad enough, much less with distractions.
But like you I had a tough decision to make. It sounds like you have a good plan in mind, to wait till the first test so you give yourself a chance. The only suggestion I have is that if you feel the class is too much for you right now, depending on how close the first test is you may want to make your decision quick. That's one of the factors I had to consider, I wanted to get my schedule out of the way so that it wasn't a distraction. Being in the classes were already enough for me to handle, much less having to think about if or when I was going to stay until.
But wow we are going through the same thing, the teacher is/was a concern in my class too, but mine doesn't sound as bad as yours. I've had to deal with bad math books and teachers like that as well, it isn't fun. Math books these days seem like they get more and more complicated, when they don't need to be. But you have a solid support system there, it's always great to have someone there that knows what they're doing and can break it down.
But yeah, it sounds like you have a good plan there, I guess we can all be each other's online support system lol. But with God we can do anything. And I believe we'll both get through this semester better for the wear. It won't be easy, but we'll beat it.
And hi spirit, nice to see you again.
