ARGGGGGG

     A couple of years ago I decided to become a college student. I have been doing very well considering I am on the downside of 60. I only take one class at a time because I do work full-time.  Plus I don't know how people handle more than one class at a time. The program I am in is accelerated, so we get sixteen weeks of schooling in eight. Plus I attend online.  You can ask the professor for help, but sometimes email is as slow as snail-mail. I am not complaining about attending online. I like being able to sit at my computer when I want, instead of having to be in a class for x amount of hours, x amount of days.

     Since failing math in high school I have taught myself enough algebra to realize that I really love numbers.  I took a business math class last year and did well. My advisor felt I could handle Statistics. Now I really do understand the need for this application. I have seen it used in my current job. But damn, is this some hard shit. I have made it through four weeks with a solid B average. This week, I am stuck. I am waiting for a response from my professor on a problem I should probably know how to figure the solution. But I am pretty sure I broke my brain yesterday.  It is just one stupid little problem. Well, three parts of a problem. I have read and re-read the text. I have printed the professor's emails for assistance. I have all the technology to figure it out but trying to figure out WHAT numbers I need to get the answer is what is throwing me off. And I cannot go any further until I figure out this problem.  I also have the ability to see an example of how to figure the solution as well as the ability to see the problem solved (they give you another similar question afterward). None of this is helping.  So ARGGGGGGGGG.
