Since my last blog entry I have come a long way.  I have spend about 1-2 hour per day reading the book and made it from chapter 3 to chapter 8.  My schedule has been to spend my lunch hour reading, then after I work out at the gym I sit in the café for another hour reading, then I read for about an hour and a half at night when my daughter goes to bed.  I still spend an hour on Friday afternoons at work reading.

My goal is to have the entire book complete by January 8^th.  With the book read I will have two weeks to work solely on calculations and formulas.  I start back to school on January 9^th so having the book compete by then is a must. 

Currently, my struggles and concerns are mainly the calculations.  I’ve seen just about all of the calculations in the book before in school but there are just so many!  Chapter 5 was loaded with calculation after calculation.  I’ve read that they are easier to remember if you know what they do but that really isn’t working for me.  I’ve also read that you can do a brain dump and write all the formulas in your head on the white board as soon as the exam starts.  My problem is how do you get any of them to stick in your head?

Hopefully over the next I get a good handle on the formulas.
