It’s been a little while since I posted last. I apologize but a lot has been going on since then.

I started classes on Monday. Here is a list of the few classes I’m taking:

• Applied Calculus I (Business Calculus)
• Financial Accounting (1st 8-week term)
• Managerial Accounting (2nd 8-week term)

I had a rude awakening when I went to my Calculus class. We went very quickly over a review chapter of College Algebra and I found out I had forgotton a lot! Mostly all the formulas… including the quadratic formula. So for the past 3 days I have been pouring myself over this chapter, redrilling these formulas into my head.

Other than that it looks like I will finally get my car fixed this weekend… or at least I hope so. I pray this part I need replacing turns off that darned ‘Service Engine’ light.

In between studying and more studying I have tried to do more web design projects for personal use and for my portfolio. I should be updating the theme soon to something a bit more custom.

Yesterday, after getting my acceptance letter in the mail, I went down to the university and enrolled in three classes: Applied Calculus I, Financial Accounting, and Managerial Accounting. I will only be taking two courses at a time, since the Calculus class runs the entire semester, but the accounting classes are only 8-week sessions.

It’s nice to be back in school. I’m only slightly disappointed in the fact that all the classes I’m taking this semester are just prerequisites for other classes. None of them actually count towards the Master’s degree.

And while I’m on the negative side of this, I found out I have to fulfill two requirements to be able to enroll next semester. 1) pass the GMAT or GRE and 2) provide three letters of reccomendation.

I’m not really worried about the test. I know I’m taking the GMAT because its more relevant for business degrees. I’m more concerned about the letters of reccomendation. It’s not something I have experience with. I don’t have any employers I can ask, so it all boils down to any advisors or professors. I have two in mind and a possible third.

It’s the asking for a reccomendation that has me on edge. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a bit shy, but I’m really nervous when asking someone for something. I will do it, but it will cost me a few days or weeks of worrying until I get it done.

On a lighter note, I think the kid will be going down to Houston with my aunt and uncle along with the niece and nephew for a week. It will give me a chance to straighten up and work on studying for the GMAT and writing those letter requests.

Wish me luck on that. ♥
