August 26 - This week I was figured out how to. ..

9/19-The first two chapters have been ok, so far. Going into this, I thought it would be a breeze. The class has proved me wrong. I find myself remembering a lot from high school but not always grasping the concept. I guess I shouldn't be so confident because it's been some what of a reality check. I'm happy that d=rt was re-introduced last week. Now, I can use a simple equation next time I travel!

9/26- I was driving to Wendover last night and was super excited to get there. I felt like the ride was taking forever! I saw a sign that said there was 40 miles to Wendover. I started wondering how long (in minutes) I had left until our destination. I thought about d=rt. I figured, this is a perfect d=rt problem and now I have something to write about on Wikispaces!! I thought about how I would do it on paper and what numbers I would have to plug in. I was going 80mph and 40miles remaining.. I wasn't able to figure out the time because I had no paper and I was driving and that would be VERY unsafe but It definitely got me thinking!

I changed things up a little the past week. I decided to apply myself better. I felt really confident coming into chapter 7 test. I don't know if I did well but, I feel ok about it. I found myself grasping the concepts a lot easier because I finally took the help that has been offered to me the whole time. also, I really liked how the class slowed down and took the time to learn all of the details of this chapter. I feel that it really helped.
