Last week, I enrolled in Chemistry 139 - beginning chemistry - at North Seattle Community College. It's a virtual class, but I attended the informal, get-to-know-you meeting last night and learned about the online programs I'll be using for the next several weeks. We'll see how it goes. I haven't been in school for seven years now, and my studying skills are a little rusty but I think taking this one class will be a good, slow start for me before I get into tougher science classes. Along with the chemistry principles I'll be learning, the class includes a math review, which I'm very thankful for since my math (and calculator) skills have lapsed over the last several years.
I decided to go back to school several months ago, and am really excited to get started. My ultimate goal is to become a dietitian, so I have at least one year of pre-requisite classes before I can start at Masters' program. Of course, that's provided I pass all my pre-reqs, which include BioChem and O-Chem, which I know are really difficult classes. I think this first class will be a review of everything I learned in high school chemistry, so I'm hoping I can recall some of what is back there in the cobwebs of my brain somewhere and that this class will be more of a lesson in time management and study skills than it will be in new information. I guess we'll see how well I really paid attention when I was 16 or so. : )
I'm sure as I blog more about school my inner science nerd will come out, so be prepared if you're planning to read this blog in the future!
