Calculus, House Hunting, Heat
Man, it has been hot in Denver. Way hot. Too hot for June, for sure.
I haven't written in a while because I've been busy. Way busy. Too busy for my liking, for sure.
After all the work Dorrie and I did to get our condo on the market, we found a buyer after just four weeks. Condos in Highlands Ranch are on the market on average for 60 to 90 days. We really lucked out finding a buyer so quickly. However, now we have to move out and we have no properties lined up. We were just about to make an offer on our dream home in Denver before we backed off because we weren't sure about the neighborhood. Now we're back to hunting. It's just so much work.
I'm taking Calculus this summer at the community college. (Can you believe that my own college isn't offering Calculus I this summer? Isn't that weird? It's weird, isn't it?) Wow. Calculus is tough, but it's awesome. The concepts of calculus are really difficult to absorb, unlike algebra and trigonometry where, conceptually, the mathematics come easy and there are only mechanics to remember. My book bag must weigh 30 pounds with three calculus texts, the $150 calculator and my notebooks. To help my studies, I also bought Calculus for Dummies and some lectures on DVD from the Great Courses (which, by the way, I highly recommend).
I wish I had something more interesting to post. Maybe I'll drop in some of my old trig notes. Yeah… that would be cool… I'll derive some identities or post a table of common trigonometric functions.
