And so it begins...
Oct. 24th, 2008 07:38 amMy big plan for this weekend: Big Studying for the PE
The book o' doom came Wednesday. So.. the big plan this weekend is to begin to look at the stuff I need to look at before getting into the "Good Stuff", to remind myself how to do Integral Calculus and Differential Equations and Probability and all that stuff I haven't even thought about in at least five years.
Next week, it's time to get the Practice Problems. This, I think, will be what I REALLY need to study. Not just reading the book and remember HOW to do this, but actually having problems to solve. If I can solve the practice problems, I can do the PE
Gods, I'm giving myself homework...
Still, this is important. Very important. And it'll be totally worth it if I pass this. I can get out of LOMRs. :D
K will be studying with me. She needs to sit down and start going through her SISCO stuff, so she can take her SISCO exam. That'll open things up for her as well, in a similar way that my passing the PE Exam will do.
Plus, as she admits, it'll just be easier for her to make herself sit down and study if I'm studying too.
Still... I don't think I'll be 'over' this until I'm knee-deep in water (figuratively) and trying to remember how to solve Manning's equation for Open Channel flow. (at least I USE some of this stuff at work!)
