Hoping that between this book and this YouTube series...

Hoping that between this book and this YouTube series I will be able to pull my Linear Algebra grade out of the toilet. I ALMOST bought the "for Dummies" book because that's about how I feel right now, but the advert for this book said that it "didn't suck" and the people who left reviews seemed pretty happy with it. I'm excited to dig in.

I've only watched a couple of videos from the YouTube channel, but it's already clarified a lot. I can remember why I'm doing things a lot better when I know why I am doing them. Just throwing a bunch of symbols at me and expecting them to stick apparently does not work. 😕

(The YouTube channel is unrelated to the book, but one of the reviewers of the book said to watch these videos in their book review. THANK GOODNESS.)

My Saturday evening...

My Saturday evening. I have this Discrete CS homework due, plus I have to get a presentation together on Fuzzy Logic. I really wanted an earlier start, but I was busy napping / sweating out a fever earlier. Doing my best, though.

Off and on today I've been catching up on shows with Shadow. I see a shower in my near future, too. I hope y'all are enjoying your evening. I'm making the most I can of mine. ❤

It's been a long week. I've been super tired.

It's been a long week.  I've been super tired.  Went to the doctor today and I'm battling an infection.  Again.  Or still.  I don't even know at this point.  The doctor is also slightly concerned about my liver, so they took blood and hopefully everything comes back fine next week.  Hopefully 2-ish years of methotrexate didn't wreck it.  Other news on the health front:  I feel my skin and bones getting ready to flare up; I'm not sure if it's weather or stress or what, but it's coming.  Yay. /sarcasm

The highlight of my week was Thursday.  Dr. Trifas invited Kira to come to class with me, and she did.  Dr. Trifas liked her a lot.  She emailed me today and told me how beautiful and genuine and smart Kira is.  Of course, we already knew that, but I'm glad that others see it, too.  🙂  She is interested in helping her get ready to take the ACT so hopefully we can work on some of that soon, but with her school schedule it might not be super easy.

We'll work it out, though.

Anyway, after my Discrete class was over I had to go and take my Stats test, so Kira went over to the library at JSU and waited for me to be done.  When I got over there we checked out quite a few art books that she was interested in.  Then we took an elevator selfie because the ceiling is a mirror, so why not?  LOL  THEN we had lunch together at TMB, picked up a few art supplies at the bookstore, and then walked around some.  Kira said she had a really good day, and I did, too.  I think she is thinking more about college stuff, so that is making my day.  😃❤❤

Ok, well, maybe Linear Algebra isn't going so well...

Can anyone tell me...

Anxiously awaiting the results of my Statistics test.

Anxiously awaiting the results of my Statistics test.  I felt mostly ok about it, but that means nothing.

I just checked my Linear Algebra average and it's a whopping 46.  ☹️☹️☹️  I am kind of back to hoping I can drop it.  I know that if I fail it I can re-take it, but I might have to take it with the same teacher; I'm not sure, so I will check on that tomorrow.

The guy who teaches it next semester has super low ratings, though, so even if I can take a different teacher it doesn't seem like it will be any better.  I'm kind of wondering if I can just save it for later.  I'm just feeling like there is no win for me right now.  😕

I have a Linear Algebra quiz tomorrow, so I guess I'm off to study - for all the good it will do.  I'm trying not to feel discouraged, but it's just about the middle of the semester and it doesn't seem like there is much saving to be done on that grade.  Wish me all the luck and brain power, please.  I need it.  ❤

Up studying.
