College Log ... Day three

Well day three has come and gone. I had US Vietnam history in the morning, which was a pretty good class. We discussed Vietnam history through the mongols taking China. We had a lots of good discussion on it. Then Pat and I went and had a cup of coffee while we waited for our Golf class started. Pat is a prior service Army/Air Force. Plus he is old like me. We are going to start an old folks club and take trips to casinos and such. Plus we were throwing around an idea to maybe start a shooting club. Down south target shooting clubs are kinda big, so maybe we can get enough interest going here.

Then we had a fun golf class. But we had to hit wiffle balls, as there was a Fall Fest 2008 Picnic going on "down range". As much and as hard as I could try I could not get that darn wiffle ball to get there.

After class I went to the picnic, had some free food (burgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad), listened to some good music, and then got to play in a bouncy house. Every time we go somewhere there is bouncy houses for the kids but not adults. Well they had an obstacle course one, that pat and I and the student body president and a few others raced in. I got a little sweaty.

Well it was finally time for my last class. ALGEBRA. I got to class early so went in and sat down and was trying to figure out some of the problems in the book, when the teacher came in. So we chatted for a bit about this math program called My MathLab. Its pretty good but had a few bugs in it. Luckily I had played with it last night and I figured it all out, so I got to help the class with the problems they were having. Then she asked me if I was having any problems with the work, so I told her the problems I'm having. So instead of having a quiz today she figured out a better way to explain rational numbers, integers, etc... She still wont tell me what an "imaginary" number is. Cant imagine why that is. Then she told me that all our homework in the book has the answers in the back. She busted up laughing when I told her I didn't know that and had been fumbling with a problem. Well we finally got past that nightmare, and got into fractions. Now I'm remembering some of it from high school. Just need a calculator with the fraction/decimal button on it. Was going to buy one at school but its like 115 dollars, but it has a USB plug to plug into your computer. Might just go ahead and get a graphing calculator since I'm going to need it next semester.

Now I'm just finishing up my computer homework, and studied the countries of South America. I'm going to watch a little M*A*S*H, and then get to bed and ready for tomorrow. After my two classes tomorrow, I will be coming home to get packed for the trip to ricks house for the weekend.

until later....
