March Math Madness

I am so proud of myself for working on my math almost everyday this month, with a little time off for my spring equinox trip. I am actually enjoying the challenge of learning math from the ground up. I am a real beginner and I am going to continue learning math because my goal is to be a renaissance woman and in order to earn that title, I have to learn to do a lot things reasonably well. So as it stands, in the evening my honey and I now read together, do spanish lessons, guitar lessons, music theory. My husband is sketching on a regular basis but I have yet to really get into my art, I will need to make that a priority real soon, maybe I will have to make it a challenge in order to get something going. Be back tomorrow with a new challenge for April!!

Google Changes

Just in case I log out tonight and cannot get back on tomorrow due to some ridiculous intrusive change that Google has come up with, you can find me on Facebook for now. I hope that will not be the case but if it happens, the blog will exist in the blogosphere without me at the helm!! I hope to be here tomorrow!!

March Math Madness Challenge


Well March Madness is finally here for me!! My challenge this month will be to begin to learn math. In school, I was always frightened by math. When I first entered college as a journalism major, one of my professors said, "I bet all of you suck at math!" He joked that we had all ended up as writers because we could not do math and for the most part, at least in that class, he was right, as we all nervously laughed at his observation. I have been putting this challenge off for a while but now is the time. I will use a video called "The Math Video Tutor, Fractions Thru Algebra, 10 Hour Video Course," which I purchased from amazon a few years ago. I plan to work for thirty minutes a day, because frankly, that is all I can handle right now. So for the month of March, let the madness begin!!!
