CHEMISTRY PANIC
Returning to school after 25 years in the workforce. Hmmmm, it sure sounded like a good idea at the time:)
Yesterday was my first day of Chemistry. After arriving home, my husband says to me, "So my little student, how was your first day of class?" He, being of sound mathematical mind, was not going to understand that I wanted to actually run out of the room twice and pasted a smile on my face, nodding once and awhile like I understood what was happening throughout much of the class. I knew that I would have to spend lots of time at home understanding the concepts one at a time before I could build that foundation necessary for fully understanding the math required for Chemistry. I kept my fingers crossed and my head down, hoping that the professor would not call on me. Boy did it remind me of my earliest years in school:)
Having said all that, I will begin to do what I always do with challenging classes. I post a blog, find interactive websites, podcasts that I can listen to on my ipod, tutorials and videos that will assist me during the semester. Simply speaking...I will live and breathe Chem 108 for the next 16 weeks. If you want to live there too, and need a little extra help because your learning style may be a little different, please log on, post when you can, and send me links that you think may help. Along with tutoring, study groups and office hours with the professor, I think we can all get that A!
Good luck this semester everyone!
