School was better today.

School was better today.  We actually started learning things, so I feel a lot less anxious.  Also, I feel like the exercise of walking is doing me some good.  Even though I'm still huffing and puffing like an old fart after walking up the hill I have more energy (eventually).  So that's ok.

In programming we started going over the basics of C++.  I'm excited to install Dev-C++ on my computer and play with that.  It looks fun.  I like that when you compile it it tells you if you have errors and from what I saw it tells you what they are.  You don't compile in Python; you just run those programs and they either work or they don't.  It will give you error messages if something is wrong, but nothing as specific as what I saw in C++ today.  So I feel like this is probably better.  🙂

In Linear Algebra we did two example problems and now have homework, so that's better, too.  The things we went over today were not hard.  Kind of weird and leaves open a million places to go wrong with basic arithmetic, but there was nothing that I did not understand.  So far, that actually looks pretty fun because I am a fan of algebra anyway, so hopefully it doesn't turn crazy or awful.

Oh, and I got an email back from my Stats teacher.  She said that I was definitely overthinking the problem and that she hadn't taught us how to find p-values yet; she really just wanted to find out how skeptical we were or not to get an idea about us.  So I'm feeling a lot better about that class, too.  I was really afraid that I was already behind, but I am not.  😃

Anyway.  I ran some errands after class and now I'm home.  I'm about to make some lunch and get started studying.  Woohoo!  😃
