Week 1: Done

I survived my first week of school! And yes... I passed my math quiz. =] Thanks to my lovely, wonderful, math-inclined (nerdy-but-I-love-her) friend Suzi. In my psychology class, we're discussing nature vs. nurture and which is more powerful. This afternoon, I got into a discussion about how most major world religions weigh in on the debate. While most of the class got really into talking about feral children (based on a video we had to watch), he and I were talking religion, spirituality and the basis of values... It's pretty interesting!

In Comp this week, we've talked about open and closed writing, as well as the importance of a good question and the balance of creative writing and critical thinking. Not much too interesting to report there, except that one of my classmates posed the example of a blog being one of the best balances. I'm still not sure that I necessarily agree with that, but I'm exploring the idea.

And oh, that dreaded math quiz... I passed it last night with a 90%. I understand it now! I got 2 questions half wrong, both on graphing. I'll have to go back and try to figure those out before the first test, but from here on out, I'm done with that part of it. I got all of the solving linear equations by substitution and addition right, and that looks like all we use from this point forward, so I really don't care. Seriously... when is a hospice chaplain going to have to solve a linear equation by graphing? I think never.

For as worried as I really was about being able to get back into the swing of things, this week has been fairly smooth. I only had one freak-out and panic moment with the whole first math quiz fiasco and I got through it just fine and relatively stress-free. And I even got to go out last night and spend some time in downtown Loveland - which has some great nightlife, if you haven't checked it out. Tomorrow starts another week... Here's to a second as good as the first!
