Winter Session

bearBrr! 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.

Finally, finals

Unfortunately I forgot my camera when I left the house this morning. Snow was visible on the mountains. The temperature was just under 50F, and I figured it would get warmer. Ha! Although I had a hat and jacket, I was not adequately dressed for the wind chill as the temperature dropped and it began to rain. Between tests I took shelter in the cafeteria and the student lounge.

Brrr!

Even on a cold, rainy day like this, the pool still has to be serviced. Paying someone to do it is so worthwhile!

Gone Fishin’

 

It hardly looks like December, even in South California. Temperatures in the 80’s are perfect for a visit to Lake Balboa.

Rainy Day

 

The day before Thanksgiving and the first serious rain of the year made for sparsely populated walkways on campus this morning.
