Today is step 1...
Hi everybody! Boy it's been awfully quiet in here while I've been gone. No news for anybody??? How is everybody enjoying the holiday season thus far? Got your shopping done? Cards sent out? My shopping's done. I finished it the other day and am very happy. So this morning I went to my local community college to get started on signing up for classes next semester. I went and talked with an advisor about what I need to take and what I need to start. He gave me a list of my gen. ed. classes and his suggestions for what I should take. I'm very happy cuz I found out that I'll only need 1 math class. Yay! However I will need to take 2 science classes. Boo. But one of his suggestions for a physical science class is Oceanography! I think I might take that one cuz it sounds fun! Anyway, so I have to start out by taking an English and Math placement exam. Although he said I could wait until after the holiday break to take the math test (Yay!). I can also put that class off for the time being. I think I might take it next summer though. But he said I should take the English ASAP cuz pretty much everything other than science and math requires Language Proficiency. Which is fine. I think I'll be ok. So I'll be doing that on Monday (since we're supposed to get a nasty storm tonight into tomorrow morning which will likely close the school anyway) and then I can sign up for a couple classes for the spring semester!!!! I'm so so so excited!!!!!! So today was step 1, Monday will be step 2. :clap: :mex.wave: :pink ellie

Wow! It all sounds very exciting... :clap: Sorry, I'm still in hibernation. :wink: Two more weeks and this awful year will be over and I am looking forward to a fresh start in 2009.

Gnat, Glad to hear from you. Everything sounds exciting. Good luck to you, GinaP :cool:

Gnat, That sounds like a fantastic start for the changes you are making. I hope you enjoy your classes. Oceanography does sound like a lot of fun to study. You should have no problem with the English proficiency test. I hope you are able to pass out of the basic courses and move on to classes you want to take. Let us know what classes you sign up for.

Gnat, it all sounds exciting and I hope you'll enjoy your classes. :clap: I wish the best of luck.

Hi Gnat, Good for you,Girl! The journey starts with that first step,I've heard. The Oceanography class does sound interesting. Keep us posted when you can,huh? Love, Ship :thumbs up :thumbs up :hug

Hi Gnat, I am very happy for you. You have made the right decision and that makes you happy. It is good to hear you so excited. I wish you a very good start and good luck in the basic courses. But Gnat you can do it, I know it. Go for it :clap: :clap: :clap:

So excited for you! Wish you all the best with every step you take!

Go, go go, Gnat!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see how your endeavours turn out. Keep us posted! (I'm more or less sorted for Christmas, for a change! Nightmare shifts this year, so I've had to get organised. But as I was still off work with my hand last year, I can't really complain!)

Thank you all very much for your well wishes! And yes Gaff, the Language proficiency test proved very good for me. I scored very very well. I was nervous because I wasn't sure while taking it that I had done that particularly well. But I did and am now signed up for Speech (to get that out of the way first because I had giving speeches! :roll: ) and Intro to Psychology. My speech class, however, I'm taking with my aunt. So we're both feeling a bit better about it. A little support system for the both of us. Although we've already started talking about how we'll be sitting in the back of the class making fun of those giving their speeches. :tongue: :mrgreen: Anyway, so it's all been set up. I'm very excited...............I'M OFFICIALLY A COLLEGE STUDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applaud: :applaud: Thanks again everybody for your support and wonderful words of encouragement! I'm really appreciative for all of you. Much :group hug :hug to all of you!

A co-ed,eh?? Well, I'm PROUD of you,Girlie! And,yes,having your aunt there with you will be a great help! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm quite envious of the adventure you're embarking on Gnat! Enjoy every minute of it for me, too! :hug
