Dressing for the weather
Crazy weather we’ve been having these past two weeks. There were a few days that were near freezing, and several that were beautiful, but marred by high winds. The last couple of says were quite warm, with temperatures reaching the 80’s. Today it’s just cool enough for a jacket. It makes it very hard to know what to wear, especially when planning the day’s wardrobe the night before, or deciding what kind of sweater of jacket to carry. A hat? An umbrella? I’m spending most of today inside, so it’s not much of an issue. But what about tomorrow? I want to wear red-white-and blue for Inaguration Day, but the only outfit I have that fits the description requires warm weather.

Brr! The temperature was in the high 30’s when I left the house this morning for statistics class. Yes, it’s the same class that I dropped because it was too much to handle during the five-week summer session. And yes, the winter session is only four weeks, so this is even more intense. But this teacher is different: very pleasant and easier to understand. I had no trouble staying awake (lapsing into a wide-eyed coma was my downfall last time). It will be much to my advantage if I can do this now. It should be (I believe, I hope, I insist) the last lower-division “general ed” course I ever need to take. It will be the last math class I ever have to take. (Hallelujah!) I’ll be able to take Italian 6 in the spring without the burden of a math class to interfere with my real work (as algebra did). And, if everything goes as planned, I’ll leave Pierce College behind and enter CSUN in the fall.
