Goodbye, statistics!

Dropped that stupid statistics class today! That's a huge weight off my shoulders. Now I only have one class and after that's done, hopefully I'll be all set up with St. Francis. I sent them my app today and should be faxing the rest of the info they need tomorrow.

Last night, I took the 10th or 11th OPK test of the two boxes I bought, and for the first time ever, the test line was almost as dark as the dummy line! Tonight I think they'll match! Maybe the metformin is helping after all!

Exploring more options

Just sent an email to an adult student advisor for St. Francis college, which is a little closer to home. They offer online classes and classes at locations near my house. The more I think about PCT, the more my stomach hurts with anxiety. I know I have statistic homework to do, but I don't know when it's due or how in the world I'm going to do it. Reading that book is like reading Hebrew.

I'm in a funk. I hate that Chris is working first shift. I come home, he's in bed. I feel like all I do is sit and watch TV alone. Well, not alone. I have Baby here with me. And Sam's stinky breath. When I get up, he's gone. Hopefully this doesn't last long.

Ugh

That's the general feeling I've had this week. The flu is going around and I think I'm fighting it off. Right now I feel feverish and like there's something boring through my forehead.

Classes officially started on the 14th. I got my books, they're horrible. My statistics syllabus is as thick as a novel and includes this wonderful tidbit, "WARNING-If you cannot spend 18 hours per week on this course (on average), then this distance-learning format is not right for you. Many students who have been working full time while being fulltime students have ended up withdrawing from this course in previous semesters." It also requires scanning my homework assignments, using something called Minitab (which I'll probably have to buy), and using a T84 (???) graphing calculator. I dropped off my signed syllabus "assignment" late. It is not looking good already.

I already drafted an email to my adviser a day or so before school started about dropping out, but I figured- I only have two classes, I already got student loans for them, it shouldn't be that hard. I really don't understand why I need this statistics class. I'm really starting to hate this school.

I should've researched a little more. I only chose PCT because it accepted South Hills credits, but barely. I mean, I took healthcare statistics. That made sense. Their online format is horrible, I think at least. Assignments are hidden in folders and links and it doesn't always prompt you when you're missing stuff. My management teacher...if I met her in real life, I'd punch her lights out. I didn't do any of the weekly assignments she listed because I didn't know where they were. Not once did she email me asking why I didn't do them. Her weekly emails had to be so many sentences and all kinds of other bull shit that I cannot deal with.

I miss South Hills. =( It would be awesome if Penn State had Health Information Management at the Altoona Campus. I could go there in the morning and then come to work at 1.

I can't think.
