Homeschooling myself...

In getting my degree, I have to jump through a few hoops... one of which is math. I have to take Intermediate Algebra and get a C or better in order to get into Statistics, which is the "acceptable" math course for graduation. So I tried taking Int. Algebra. The first time, I missed a passing grade by 3 points. I will openly admit, math is NOT my strong point, at least not when I get into more advanced topics. So I thought I'd try again this semester. Unfortunately for me, I chose an early morning class, assuming my boss would be willing to work around my schedule as was promised when I was hired. Nope. I keep getting closing shifts the day before class, which results in maybe 5 hours of sleep. Not working for me. So I dropped the class today, before dropping it would result in a bad grade (or the dreaded "W" for withdrawal). What can I do now? Well, I have my textbook, and a handy dandy website, so I am going to homeschool myself in algebra, and do my darndest to test out of algebra and straight into Statistics! Thankfully, the community college I am taking math through will let me take the placement test twice a semester if needed. Hopefully this plan will work. If not, in the worst case scenario, I can retake the algebra class over the summer while the kids take swimming lessons. We'll see!
