Update!

Things are coming together- I've sent in all my admission info to the college I would like to attend, recieved my financial aide report. At the moment I'm studying to pass the entrance exam- its not the hardest thing in the world and the English etc will be a breeze- but the math is what I'm reviewing!

I've found that it comes back to me very quickly- but funnily enough its little things like long division with decimals that I find myself looking up! I've forgotten how to do things that I've been doing on a calculator for years! Once again - simply reading over how to do it brings it right back,which is great!! Nothing like the strain of learning it when 10 years old and called up to the board by a glowering teacher ;)

The book I'm working through is 'Algebra- Structure and Method- Book 1 by McDougal,Littell' As I work through the problems I also watch the videos on THE BEST TUTORING WEBSITE EVER


I cant believe it is free!!! Seriously, he has such a way of explaining things, it makes it sooo simple- and it isnt going to cost you $20 an hour!

I have a tight deadline of June, July to get this done though- I need to do the CPT test by August to enroll for Fall!!! I would say wish me luck- but its not luck I need as much as self discipline! Starting today I'm going to write down my goals health and education wise and read them out to myself daily to keep me on task! No more procrastination or time wasting (ok, maybe just a leetle bit of time wasting on facebook but not hours and hours...)

I'm excited! Can't wait to be a college student- I'm visualizing myself there already!
