Orientation

Tom's Creek A was being really strange today...so I ended up coming late. If it weren't for the fact that I can't seem to escape having to use the empo, I might have panicked a bit. Orientation wasn't hard. I bumped into Julian on my way here. He was done by the time I got to the empo. Since I was shaking, I decided to eat before starting my "orientation quiz." I always seem to miss at least one question.

After quiz 0, I tried practice quiz 1. 3/6 isn't bad considering I have no idea what they mean by elementary operations, or how to do a Gauss-Jordan elimination on an augmented matrix... I think the last time I did anything with matrices was in Algebra II with Mr. Balew which was about 10 years ago! (Time flies!)

Tonight I'm going to study elementary operations for linear systems, and refresh my memory on matrices. Afterwards I'm going to take quiz 1 at home.

Julian told me that there were some people who finish this course in 3 weeks. (The entire course gets posted within the next two weeks.) It would be nice to finish this course early so that I can concentrate on mushrooms!
