So I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday, since the library is closed on New Year’s Day. I bought a book to brush up on my Trigonometry. It’s actually a really good book for basics and remembering what I used to be know, lots of exercises. The only thing that worries me is that it’s very basic, and there aren’t any challenging problems, just problems to makes sure you know the basics. I’ll have to pick up another book for that at the library or something.
Anyhow, there is a Starbucks at the Barnes and Noble I go to, and the notorious thing about it is that they don’t accept Starbucks gift cards. Weird right? But the barista explains that they are owned by Barnes and Noble, and that you can use your Barnes and Noble card for a discount. Okay. So sitting there at a table, at the beginning of studying, I hear this explaination about 2 times…and then I get into my study zone where I don’t hear anything except “cos, sin, cot”.
I stretch and my hearing comes back to me and what do I hear…someone’s gift card has been denied again. That same barista has been there and has probably denied at least 15 gift card hopefuls and she’s still giving her explanation is a calm and sorry manner. It’s kind of funny how the customer suddenly flusters, and then looks around (as if she’s at the wrong store), then then tries to come up with a solution. Usually they turn to a friend or parent that has money. Then I chuckle and go back to my trig.
I’m almost done with Trig, and then I’ll be on to Calculus. I’m kind of dreading it because I don’t want to know how much I’ve forgotten. What was that..Lo’putal’s rule or something? French dude? ugh. -__-”. After Calc, I’ll look up matrices, and then brush up on my Geometry proofs and formulas. Then I’ll go online and check teaching sites for any other kinds of advice for they test they have. My test is on the 12th. I’m taking all 3 parts on the same day, while some split them up. <: /…I’m kind of regretting it now. But I’ll be very relieved if I pass them all…because that’s just one step closer to being a teacher! I don’t really want to be stuck teaching history. My memory is actually really bad. -__-”. shh..don’t tell.
