Comprehension 101

I went to the bookstore and bought two ASVAB books. I wanted to make sure I had more then a couple tests to try and take, with a wide range of questions. I probably should just tell people I'm looking into getting into the Army as a medic, describing the Lioness program is annoying, most people haven't heard of it. ( http://www.usmilitary.com/3806/female-lioness-program-trains-marines/ ) The cashier at the counter gave me that look as if to say "yeah right lady" I just grinned at him and shrugged "Don't know unless I try" and he looked a bit taken aback. I caught him, people hate when you do that. "Good Luck" was all he said. I walked out, I want to do this, things are possible when you try. I can get in.

I took the kids to Mcdonalds for being good through all the running through bookstores. We don't eat out often, but then they could get some running in while I sat and did some equations. I hadn't had a book like that sitting in front of me for a very long time. It felt good, even when I struggled to answer, I forgot how much I loved learning information. I haven't really put forth the effort to learn much on my own that isn't art related. I am not a very good self learner, I'm better in a class setting.

I'm dumbfounded by how much I've lost since high school. I choose to have kids before bothering to try to go back, I didn't think they would make me feel so confined, no, not the exact word I'm looking for but close. I felt unable to move forward, like I was waiting around for them to get older so I could have enough time to do what I wanted and now 7 years have flown by and here I am trying to remember simple algebra. I was good in school, well decent, I choose to be lazy in school, but I understood what was put before me. I need a real refresher, it takes me a moment but then it slowly comes back to me. Would be easier if I had a real tutor but the books will have to do.

I miss math more then I thought I did. Watching my page slowly get filled with equations was almost delightful. I laughed when I did my math wrong, man I've gotten bad. I wished for a different color pen to show my corrections better. I can see myself slowly getting into the mindset. Homework was always a pain, but this seems like its going to be fun. Ill post some questions when I get into it more, I only got through a couple questions, it's hard to work when people keep stopping you to ask you a ton of a questions.

I should try for some sleep soon. Never enough of that these days.
