Hello everyone,
As we started this course I had anxiety and for someone that has used explosives on the daily for over 25 years that is not something I usually have. At this point I have settled the nerves and realized my strengths and weaknesses. Fortunately I believe I am doing better than I thought I would. The words of Professor Morris during the live lecture about learning the rules really helped. If I am getting hung up its because I am not following the sequence correctly.
Going forward I need to focus on the fine details. Much like in high school it was always the little details like negative signs or forgetting a parentheses that always got me a wrong answer and redoing each problem multiple times. Its still my mathematical downfall and I plan to work on it.
I believe making the time to check work is a strategy that will help me pay attention to those fine details. However time consuming it does help with learning the sequences and rules that need to be applied to all equations.

I am a very well-built procrastinator mostly by my own doing. This is something added with anxiety and panic that causes confusion and pessimistic thoughts and processes. The best part of this is I am surprised everyday, by not the failures that occur, but by the things I actually succeed in. Writing this out is just the most anxious thing I have done all day and my day is just beginning.
The only advice I can give is what I give myself. Small goals are a miracle that we can create.
1. Open the computer.
2. Open the class up.
3. Open the assignment.
4. Start the assignment
5. Finish the assignment.
These are all small goals that in the end create a big goal that you have finished. You may fail, but try again and in the end you will succeed if you want to.
