Getting back into the swing
Getting back into the swing
A few of the threads this morning were rather rough, my mom is heading back to the Lower 48 to her AB and his family, and work is, well it's Monday, and 1/2 of the techs that I work with are out, my break is almost over... I was starting to feel quite down and teary again. Then I opened up my personal e-mail and found a reminder that the online class I signed up for starts today!
It's Intro to Mathmatical Philosophy. (Eeeee! I'm so excited, and I know I'm a math nerd. ) Just thought I'd share because just knowing that I can do this and the class is almost here has been such a boost to my self-esteem and mood. Maybe the suggestion of online classes might help some one here too. OK, maybe not the Math Philosophy part, but other classes...
I'm not sure if posting the site that I'm going through and offers the courses would be considered advertising... (Most of the courses are free, but there are some that carry fees.) But just the thought of studying a subject that I love has been empowering.

I would love to hear about free courses!
I am doing a meditation thing with Oprah and Deepak starting August 5th.
About relationships.
Learning, always learning.
The class is through Cousera. Their program is about "connecting people to a great education so that anyone around the world can learn without limits." And they have some pretty cool classes: Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas, Designing Cities, Modern and Contemporary American Poetry... biostatistics, virology, engineering, economics... There are so many different types of courses.
I'm finding it really hard to not sign up for a dozen all at once. Though, it sounds like the classes run for a time and then come back around later.

Just like I said on that thread, I've got a little dream of my own that I haven't lately pursued because of stress, but I'm getting much better at not letting AH get to me, and have been thinking lately that I need to just DO IT, for ME. It's probably not going to change my life, but it's something in me that I enjoy doing. Well, yeah, I guess that would change my life wouldn't it? Now that I think about it in that way.
Thanks for yet another inspiration to go for it! I'm glad when people post things like this, it does inspire others to do that thing they have been thinking about.
You are going to have a blast learning about this. It sounds super interesting to me, the course you are taking. I wouldn't mind if you pm'ed me the site for sure
Congrats on doing something to better yourself, to be good to yourself. That's always a good thing! Thank you!
ETA: I see you mentioned the site in another post. Thanks!
OH my!!! I am an alien in a strange land. I am math and numbers challenged--almost phobic. I think I was one of those girls in school that the teachers avoided in favor of the males and, consequently I was inadequately taught from the beginning. I was considered an advanced student in all other areas!!!
I envy those who nave a natural and easy ability with math/numbers.
