Fall Semester 2012

This semester I returned to school with a big difference in strategy.  I chose to transfer from MCC to FLCC, and so far I am greatly enjoying it.  While this move sets me back by a few credits, it also allows me a bit more lee-way if one of the kids gets sick; and a bonus I found out about later was that there is no parking permit to pay for.  That might mean a long walk from the car, but given that I am not a "city" person the traffic and attitudes of the people there are a great fit for me.

This first semester at FLCC finds me taking 12 credit hours, which include an "intro" course to the CSC program, which is very much similar to a course I took at MCC which did not transfer.  Also on my schedule is another introduction style course (We're learning Java there), American History which may have been easier if taken on Campus rather than online, but it's not terrible; And the last of the 12 is Bowling, which as a PE credit makes itself worthwhile because I will need four of those.

I have been trying to better organize my circles on Google Plus, but that could become very time consuming considering how many people I have circled!  Yes, I have much to learn; but I've done a lot in my life so far, and learning is one of my favorite things to do!

Tomorrow I will be finishing an assignment on navigating Windows; which shouldn't take long now that I understand what McLaughlin is looking for on it.  I already finished the ascii "faceprinter" assignment.  I need to make some posts in History and Pre-calculus before Tuesday also.

Well, I'm off to get the kids ready to start their school week as well as mine; Have a happy Monday.

Latest News

The latest news in "Erin Land" is a joint venture between myself and my husband. Pretty much jumping right in over my head to learn what's what and work with him on Raspberry Pi related projects.. In wondering where some of the Facebook traffic was coming from, we realized that raspberrypi.org had shared a link to our weekend project on their Facebook page.

A change in direction

Having become thoroughly impressed upon by quantum mechanics, I have decided that perhaps computer sciences are not the direction I will take.... Instead I will work toward learning what I need to know in order to prove a theory I have been pondering. I would go into greater detail over it, however I haven't even gotten to Calculus yet! That considered it will likely be a VERY long time before I am able to actually make my desired dent in the world. For now, I'll just get back to Chemistry and Pre-calculus, which reminds me that I'll need to keep working to bring up the GPA that my first stint at MCC has hindered so that I can gain entry into Geneseo, where I can hopefully spend more time on campus given it's nearer proximity to home!

An Introduction

Let's be honest, it's 10 at night, I'm exhausted and tomorrow I can only hope to get through a large chunk of chapter 8 for pre-calc. But, I'll do it because I have to. My school doesn't exactly schedule courses at times which work with my schedule, and so I will plod along for now, and hold in mind the possibility that I will transfer to another school before long.

I'm thinking I may have to bite the bullet and go after the bachelors in math. We'll see. Right now, I'm still kinda confused about what I want to do when I grow up, at least with regard to what kind of work I want to do. I suppose I will just sit back and enjoy the ride for a little bit, and get Christmas out of the way before I start thinking too far ahead.
