School is Fine
You know, it is an amazing thing. I knew when I started that going to school full-time to get an associate ticket would be a challenge, and I knew that I would have to actually work for decent grades. But here it is, the last full week before final exams, and I am averaging As in each class, and I am not worried about any of the finals. I have a feeling this coming Friday and the following Monday will be a simple cakewalk. Even the English Composition (Honors) is looking like a breeze. Since I am so comfortable with the whole situation, I could completely crash and burn. Or I could Ace every class again. Since this is my first term as a dedicated full-timer, I am a little nervous, but the past performance has been fairly simple so long as I don't panic. All together, it'll be a cakewalk.I looked for books for next term, I will be buying three textbooks. Lots-o-money, but I need the things. If I knew the physics book was an older edition, I would get a used one, but my buddy/contact in the bookstore says they updated the edition on us. Oh Well. I have a feeling, just a feeling, that I could get away with using a much older book, not even the same publisher. Since this is simple application to Physics, no real breakthroughs have been made in the last ten years so I could ask the teacher. He is very lax in homework assignments, and so long as I have the equations available, maybe he will give me a break. Hmm. The Intro-to-Networking book looks to be mostly a CCNA cert course. Cisco certs never hurt a resume, so I will keep this book and memorize it. The Transistor/Diode course is in the latter chapters of the AC/DC book, and ... hmm ... Oh...Boolean Algebra...Digital Principles or some such nonsense. New Book There. I understand the Boolean course uses a new circuit board, so I have to wait for that. Otherwise, I'm about good to go.
