See ya, Trig, and welcome back, photography

I studied a solid 12 hours between Monday and Thursday morning. So, I felt really confident about my Trigonometry final yesterday. I really think I aced it. Out of 15 problems, I might’ve missed one or two, max.

Now that Trig is out of the way, I have three weeks without school.

Other than work¹, I need to take some photos whenever I can.

Do you want to be a part of that somehow²? Let’s talk, brainstorm and create some wicked photos.

Away until Thursday

I’m nearing the end of Plane Trigonometry at Citrus. Assuming you’re not following me on Twitter (@bryan):

• Before the quiz last Thursday, I was at 93% (A) overall. (#)
• I got 100% my last test¹.
• Thursday’s final is cumulative.

Until Thursday morning, I’ll stay away from the internet² and study in hopes of getting an “A” on my final.

Don’t ask me about my summer class. One thing at a time.

One more thing: Go Lakers.

The reason behind my silence

I’m taking Trigonometry because sine, cosine and tangent are my favorite functions.

Kidding.

Like I said a couple weeks ago, I’m back in school at Citrus College. I’m retaking [Plane] Trigonometry because I flunked it a long time ago.

Why?

My senior year in high school, I took an online course from Bakersfield College – statistics. That fulfilled my math requirement for college.

However, when my college counselors were looking at my transcripts, asking me about when I took stats, they just understood  that I took it in high school. The important part? It was a college course.

They insisted I that still needed a math class. I didn’t try to clarify. (How much simpler could it be?) When I took it, I was overwhelmed and failed miserably.

I choked this situation because I didn’t try to explain further. They choked it because they didn’t read carefully.

So, other than raising my GPA so Cal Poly Pomona will accept me, I’m retaking a course that won’t make a difference toward my Computer Information Systems degree.

What else are you taking?

That’s it. I feel slow at grasping the concepts compared to others. So, I’m not taking anything else. When I’m not at school, I’m either doing homework or working.

How about photography?

I still carry my camera everywhere, but I [seriously] photowalk on the weekends if I’m not tired. I’m still open for [natural light] portrait sessions and band photography. Just contact me, m’kay?

Aren’t you in a band, too?

Oh yeah. Listen to The Scarlet Paradigm.

Hiya Citrus

School started up yesterday. I’m taking a couple classes this semester at Citrus College, continuing my journey for a degree in Computer Information Systems. That means my workload goes up — a lot.

More later.
