Things have been a bit mad lately… Well, they were mad and then they weren’t, so I took the opportunity to do nothing at all.

There was a lot of stressing from work to school on Tuesday and Wednesday as well, and by Wednesday afternoon I was beginning to notice a tickle in my throat and I was getting rather snively. By that evening, as I was sitting in an auditorium at school trying to understand fractions, it became clear to me that I had a fever as well, so I went home.

I didn’t have work on Thursday, and decided to take the Friday off which, as I haven’t been working long enough yet, meant that I had to go to the doctor and get a note confirming that I was indeed ill, so I could get sick pay.

As for my math course, I was even more pleased at the end of it than I had been the first day. I didn’t find any of it at all as difficult as I thought it would be. I was surprised to find that even fractions, which have been a problem for me all through school, were quite easy to understand for me. I guess my brain has evolved and I’ve gotten smarter or something. The only thing I had trouble with were negative numbers, when a plus sign becomes a minus and vise versa. Most of my mistakes were the right answer, only negative when it should be positive or positive when it should be negative.

Of course, this was only a refresher course, meant to make sure I’m up to speed when I start the real course on Wednesday. Hoping to God I’ll be able to keep this up.
