I can't believe I did it

I am the type who will stick with something until I get it.  But I had to withdraw from my math class at Mesa College.  It wasn't that I couldn't keep up, it was that I couldn't understand. 2 of the 3 test I had taken were failures.  But I know that doesn't  excuse me from having to take  the math course for my pre-requisites for having the units needed before I can transfer to say SDSU.  If I can, the GPA has to be at least a  4.0.  I will have to see about that later.

At Mesa college they do have a time slotted for math tutoring, but at San Diego City College has a room for math tutoring and hours.  So, the one at Mesa, I guess due to not having enough tutors,  or can't spare a room and a whole day for that.  I am just thinking that way from comparing the two schools.  I did pay for a math tutor but that math tutor, who was patient still had trouble with getting me to understand the subject.  And I have a feeling he thought I didn't study.

Should I continue with my grade going down and risk failing? But then again the W doesn't come off my record, it stays on  there forever!  I had a W from a class back in 1996 20 years ago.  What the heck?  I was told I could have the W coded out, but the class where the W was for will still be on my record. It was a black and white photography class.  And was told if I wanted to change my major to Fine arts in photography, there would be an issue with the W coded out on the subject I had taken. 

I also spoke with two different counselors one before school was to start and he recommend that I take Math 92 at Mesa college, it should cover the Math 96 (which I failed that class, thanks to me not being about to understand the intermediate Algebra and trigonometry). Which was one of the classes needed in my educational plan. Then this second counselor I spoke with just last week, told me I still had to re-take that Math 96 class, since it was a D.  She seem to get insulted when I said that San Diego City College was setting me up to fail.  She  basically told me it was my fault not the schools.  Considering San Diego City College's success rate is only 12%  So, I disagree with her. They get their money from the State/Federal and the workers there keep their jobs until the day they die. City/State/Federal government workers keep their jobs until they die.   I should get one of those jobs where I don't have to do anything and still sit there and get paid for "that job" 
I am also not good with test taking, and no matter how many classes on "how to take a test" doesn't work for me.
That is all for today, sorry about ranting but better than crying about this stupid thing.

First day of "In my opinion"

Today the 23rd of March 2016 is the first day of my blog.  

At half a century old this is new to me.
My domain name is femalenavyretireesblogspot.com
I would think a lot but have no one to just talk to about it.  Including the hubby.
A little bit about me: I am a female, retired from the US Navy after 23 years.  I retired 2015 FEB.  About 5 months after that my husband and I bought a townhome in Spring Valley.  I love it, with a garage, high ceilings, and two bathrooms.  Went from owning and living in a Condo for 16 years. The last 3 years the complex was turning into a ghetto,
Harbor Vista Condominium not a very nice place anymore. It was not a bad place, right off of the 94 E/W 7-10 minutes to downtown, and connect to the 805 N/S or 15S or 5N. Trolley station at Eucid Ave.
 Anyway we have a great new place since August 2015.  It is just me and my husband with now three cats. Roadking, oldest 14 years old,  Dash or dasher  3 years old, and now Sue 7 month old kitten.
I go to school now at San Diego City College, to get most of my credits done to transfer to SDSU and have a bachelor's degree in political science.  I have an associates from a Excelsior college I used online while in the Navy.

Hubby works for a computer company one of the bigger ones in San Diego county, up in Sorrento Valley and Mira Mesa area.

I was told this could be a good way for me to write just like a journal.  I rather type than write now a days.
