Number Crunching

In honor of the 164 hours left of me EVER being in another math class... I did a whole bunch of other number crunching.

All but the last bits of work is done for the math class, I have just a touch of homework I can go back and re-do for a few more points, and a quiz to take.  IF I DO NOTHING ELSE and score a 16% on the Final, I will PASS the class.  Of course I want to better than that.  I could probably do 16% extremely drunk and with one eye open.

I'll need to score 85% or better on the final to earn an A overall in the class.  Not a difficult grade to get at all!!!  Especially as I've now finished the work, and I'm now on the review -AND I HAVE AN ENTIRE WEEK to prepare, study, review, practice and practice and practice... I don't see 85 being a problem at all. Woo-Hooo!

Then I finally plotted out, semester by semester how many credit hours I could take on, and I added them up, semester by semester.  Full course-load in the Spring and Fall which will be 5 classes for 15 credit hours.  Two classes for two summer semesters at 6 credit hours per semester.

and drum roll please...

... that should have me graduating, having earned over 120 credit hours in the Spring of 2012.  WOW!  While 2012 sounds far away... 2 years does not sound incredibly far away.

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.
