Update

I've ignored this blog for nearly a year now... there are many big updates to state, such as - I'M NOT AIMING FOR A MATH DEGREE ANYMORE.  It's just not something I can do where I am now in life.  It was very hard, I felt like I got beat up by my math classes, really - I felt emotionally battered and I couldn't stand up to anymore.

I'm now aiming for a fluffy liberal arts degree that won't beat me up at all.  Well, it could possibly thrash me with a wet noodle, but it won't hurt as much as struggling in math did.  It'll basically be a Writing degree - English with an emphasis on Writing, plus a minor in Writing.  I'll read a lot of literature and do a lot of writing.  I can do this, and I'll enjoy most of it.

I'll be starting at MTSU next month.  Dividing my time between there on Tuesdays and Thursdays and at Nashville State on Mondays and Wednesdays.

I have a total of 5 classes I can take at Nashville State - I'll need 4 Spanish classes (ugh!  changing to a liberal arts degree puts me in need of a foreign language.  I did 3 years of French in high school, but that won't count because its so long ago... and since I have to start at ZERO here, I'll do Spanish) and I'll be finishing up one science class as well, because also with the switch to a different kind of degree, my science requirements change... instead of two of the same type classes, CHEM I and II... now I need two different classes... yay!  I was struggling with CHEM II earlier this semester and didn't like it all.  Lucky for me, as I really started to hate this class, I changed from the Math major and looked hard at what a liberal arts major needed - AND CHEM II WOULD **NOT** have counted!  I need a different type of science class, completely different.  So, I'm taking Earth Sciences next semester, Geology.  It will be more interesting to me and in all likelihood, not as tough as CHEM II was.
