The break was wonderful! I managed to take care of most of the things I miss. I had lunch and dinner out for almost every meal; sat on all of the porches in Poplarville and was treated to a pair of summer tanagers and a swallow-tailed kite; enjoyed many showers; washed several loads of clothes; treated my poison ivy; petted Harry; relaxed with a manicure and pedicure; bought coffee at Langenstein's and granola at Whole Foods; walked in Audubon Park and finished the crossword puzzle and sudoku every morning. My daughter arranged a birthday celebration where we each painted a streetcar--my painting is hanging in my hallway. I visited with many friends, kept several doctor's appointments, and purchased a new TV--the remote stopped working on mine. Best of all, I spent good quality time with Allan and my children.
But, today, it was back to class. Reliability Engineering will be a challenge--lots of calculus. I've found MathTV on YouTube and Dr. Math on the Internet to brush up on integrals, derivatives and limits. A big group of people stayed after class today worried about their ability to handle the math, so at least, I'm not alone. Cloud Computing will be interesting; I was one of 3 women among the 45 people in the class and the only person who is not a computer science major. Very few of them knew more about cloud computing than I do and I don't know much. I think I'm going to enjoy my summer!
