This is my fifth term at PVCC, a two-year college. I know I’m slow, but I’m thorough.
Last year I did a bunch of two hundred level classes, this term I am back on the one hundred level classes. I have English Composition 101, which is my honors class and looks to be a real good thing for me. You know I love to write, so the writing (over 3,000 words) is no problem, and what I will learn is the MLA style and there are some other technical styles that I don’t even know the names of that I will learn this term. This class will really help me at the University level.
The other solid I have is a five credit Math Anxiety class. It is actually a remedial math class, 093 is the number, not even a one hundred. I need this because I failed so spectacularly last term with the same class taught by a very fast and confusing teacher, Terry Grygiel. Don’t EVER take a class from him. I got out on the last day I could without losing grades, I lost money because I thought I could do it, but I couldn’t. He signed my withdrawal form and said he didn’t understand, I was getting the second highest grade in the class, a “C” and that should make me proud, but I informed him that I am an Honors student, with money tied up in the good grades, and if I was getting a “C” then I didn’t think I was really ‘getting’ it. I was spending hours each day in the math tutoring room and still not understanding. But this math anxiety class looks like it is good, and I had friends take it who raved about how good it is. I really need to understand the math before I can continue.
Today I have Ceramics … WOO HOO!
