Hallelujah! Math, you will not beat me. >:)

Math was always my worst subject but I am getting a lot better in it. The silly thing is that negative numbers hold me back despite understanding far more complicated things. I got a terrible grade on my second math packet which was really upsetting so I committed myself to staying positive and studying online. Purple math is a great website for this purpose and well I was researching there it dawned upon me what I was not understanding before. It's like a wee little light bulb turned on because I remembered to flip  the switch. lol

Pharmacy work has a lot to do with math and even if the formulas aren't generally very complicated it is really important to me to have a sound understanding of what I am doing. There are times when school seems overwhelming and scary but I push past it and find myself better off each time. It's a big deal for me to be able to stay calm and focused in math class so going this far despite a big let down is really great. To get back up and figure out the problem is really a first academically speaking. 

Being in school makes me think of how one day I might have a new job and how in some ways that makes me sad. I work with a lot of really nice people who I enjoy being around. The work I do is certainty nothing I want to keep doing but I know that when the time comes to move on it is going to be hard. I would have to say that I have never got along with a group of people so well as I do here at this place. People are so willing to get along and I have so many friends at work supporting me in school which has been such a lovely helpful thing. When I get through school I'm going to have to invite them all to a party to show my thanks and probably cry a lot like a baby. >_<

Well that's about it. Things are going well despite a bit of a bump in the road.
