7/100 days of productivity 🐣 10/01/23
happy october, and 1 week of consecutive productivity!! i went to bed a bit late last night, so i slept in until around 11 am. i started my day with lunch and house chores. i actually got quite a lot of chores done, so i didn't start working on schoolwork until the evening. i caught up with my daily assignments and finished the second quiz of this quarter. i'm actually pretty bummed that i didn't get a great score for this quiz. there was one problem worth 7 points that i still can't figure out ! i'll definitely spend more time during the week to do more practice problems

I plan to go back to school next fall, so I have a little ovet fourteen months to master all seven subjects. I won't need two full months for algebra 1; cracking open the first chapter, it's all stuff like "here's what a plus sign means" and "variables look like letters, but they really stand for numbers!"
It won't hurt to brush up on factorization, but I think I can bang this one out in a week or two. All the better, because calculus kicked my ass in high school and it's not gonna be any easier now that I'm my own teacher. I passed it once (by the skin of my teeth), but have forgotten almost everything about it in the last decade, so I'll need the extra time to really get it down pat. I have to be able to derive and integrate in my sleep if I'm to stand half a chance at earning an astrophysics major. Astronomy would be slightly easier, but not by much, so I may as well go for gusto. The very first class astrophysics requires is calc 2, so I can't enroll until I'm 100% sure I know calc 1 forwards and backwards. Physics too, but physics and calc feel like two sides of the same coin, so I'll try to work on them at the same time (again, I managed to pull it off once, I'm sure I can do it again).
Chances are these Dummies books will be insufficient for me to grok all this math in one year, so I'll end up buying more textbooks, workbooks, study guides, SAT and AP prep, etc. I had plenty of cram sessions in my first go around at college, but nothing quite like this. This will be a herculean undertaking compared to the easy-A humanities program I coasted through originally. I had no motivation back then, no drive, no goal for "the real world" upon graduating. I went to college because it was expected of me, and I was told I needed it to get a good job. What I wasn't told is that not all majors are created equal; there's not a lot you can do with an English degree besides, well, teaching English. I just hope 14 months is enough time, because I would really prefer not to take another year off; 2024 is the ten year anniversary of when I started college the first time, so it would mean so much more to me if I started again that August rather than put it off until 2025.
I guess it doesn't matter in the end. If I'm not ready, I'm not ready. I can't force myself to start an extremely advanced program before I've mastered the pre-reqs. If I need to start later, so be it. As long as I'm consistently working towards my goal, it shouldn't matter how long it takes.

the best thing about this is my math teacher laughed.

That feeling when you can't tell if the math is easy because you're really smart or you're just doing something horrendously wrong.

I am currently taking notes for my first major test in Precalculus tomorrow. We are allowed to have a formula/note sheet for the test, so I’m writing super tiny to fit as much information as possible.
I have other things I want to rant about, but I’ll save it for tomorrow after the test. 🌻

All the textbooks I ordered last week were delivered today, so I can start my year-long refresher course as soon as I get off work. My plan is to reapply for college next fall. Instead of going to grad school, I want to earn a second undergrad degree, a BS in astrophysics. I need to go back over all the math I've forgotten since high school. I'm pretty sure I have algebra 1 and geometry down pat, but I got both of those just to be on the safe side. The real work will be relearning algebra 2, trig, pre-calc, and calc 1. For reasons too complicated to explain here, I took calculus before trigonometry, so I knew next to nothing going in and spent my senior year of high school playing catchup in the same class as the valedictorian and the gifted kids. I passed my AP calc exam by the skin of my teeth and promptly forgot everything because I was burned out. If I could do it then, I can do it now. It'll all come back to me in bits and pieces as I work through the courses (in order this time).

i was too busy (lazy) to take pics of everything i did today, but i loved the idea that @study-with-aura gave me of posting my duolingo stats!
i've been super motivated with french lately (123 day streak!) and have really been enjoying that <3
today i haven't read much, but i'm currently reading the first harry potter, which i haven't done since second grade, and i forgot how much i love the series and how much space it holds in my heart.
i baked brownies with my sister as well (she baked them and i 'supervised' lol) and the house smells amazing now
i've also been studying for my permit, which i'll hopefully be obtaining soon!
my biggest accomplishment today was my precalc homework. i've been way too stressed about it and was procrastinating, but i finally did it and understood it all! i needed absolutely no extra guidance, and i felt so proud of myself after. i've never been the best at math, so this felt like a big step! however i have a feeling things are gonna get worse...
i'll be ending the night with a warm dinner, my books, family time, knitting and my night routine <3 might also call my friends if i'm not too tired!

last night was fairly productive! i actually got through the whole script and found a snippet for each character with a speaking role, so that's good. plus my math teacher responded to my email and changed my grade for something that was a 0 😎 (although the 0 was bc i hadn't started it yet so i did it during his class and then just emailed him after saying i had done it, so with a little charm, kindness, and gaslighting i do not have a 0)
but on the not-so-bright side, i ate two slices of a papa johns pizza last night so the gluten-free gods have cursed me and my stomach is killing me. it feels like my period cramps but im not bleeding? im just gonna wear a pad today in case bc if i start bleeding at the renaissance fair, when my crush comes to my house, or babysitting three children then i will burn down the neighborhood. arson!
