I Choose To… Put My Workouts in My Weekly Schedule.

I finally figured out my school schedule for this semester and it is rough. I will be taking three graduate-level classes, two of them math classes. Writing, reasoning, abstract thought and real-life scenario problem solving? I’m all about it. Inferential statistics, four part formula chains, quantitative analysis, and ANOVA? Not quite my thing. I don’t [...]
