College Life

It might be a good idea to keep tabs on my college journey in the hopes of obtaining a Bachelor Degree. To date, I only have a few diplomas but no actual degrees. I wanted to pursue Nursing, but after much consideration, I have found that it's not a good fit. My major at Indiana University Columbus is Business Administration with a (hopeful) concentration in Sales and Marketing. I have been in an Algebra class three times to date and have had a very tough time comprehending it. I think there are 2 reasons for this:

1. I never took it in high school.

2. I didn't put forth the necessary effort in past classes to really learn it.

I taught myself how to compute fractions a while back and feel really proud of that, but for the life of me cannot make too much sense of Algebra. To me, it's a dirty word. LOL

I did manage to learn how to convert binary to decimal numbers and vice versa when I took an introductory computer class last semester, but I would have to look at it again in order to be able to figure it out. Out of sight, out of mind: you know how the saying goes. So there is hope, but this Algebra stuff has really got me in a funk!

This is all that I'm gonna say right now about college. I will find more to say about my adventures tomorrow, after a good night's shuteye. I've had my nose buried in my laptop "computing" all day long. I have different projects that I'm working on around here including converting my paper files into computer ones and using Microsoft Access to keep track of contacts.

I am fortunate enough to be able to watch lynda.com's video library at no charge due to being an IU student. I have learned quite a bit of computer savviness from the presenters on there. They are professionals and deliver excellent content. Paired with the IT training self-learning courses sponsored by Indiana University, I am fortunate enough to have quite a bit of excellent learning materials at my fingertips. One of my academic goals is to acquire my Certification in Microsoft Office.

Nite all!

P.S. After previewing this entry, I noticed that no paragraphs were inserted so I will have to look into that. I apologize if it appears that everything's running together. :D
