Well I finally am ready for the most part. I took my placement test this morning then registered and got my class schedule. I'll be going to a community college about 20 minutes away. I got my GED last month(which was my first huge step). I'm taking 4 classes, English Composition I, Elementary Algebra, Developmental Reading III, and Music Appreciation, two each on Monday-Thursdays from 8-10:45am. I'll be back home around 11am and have Fridays off.

I start January 8th.

Congrats! But if you REALLY think you have Fridays off, guess again. If you really want to do well, you'll be studying your a** off - at least until happy hour.

Seriously, I applaud your initiative and suspect you'll do very well. Go for it!

I doubt it. I've had way too much free time during the day, so I don't think it'll change things much in that regard. I won't be missing anything from 8-11am anyway(I'm usually asleep then

).

You don't need Developmental Reading of any sort unless its required. I've read most of your posts and your comprehension is right on.

Well I made it through the easy first day. Just placement tests for what level in each class I fall in. 2nd class ended early and I'm already home(at 11am!). College is great.

Got to love those classes that end early!

Those were always my favorite.

Oh yeah... and it helps when the teacher acts crazy. She was all frazzled the first class(I have her for both) running around freaking out. It was quite funny. She was poking fun at herself later.

Yay! Good to hear Brent. I just know you will miss sleeping in late for those 4 days.

But it will give you more to look forward to on the weekends. No more 3am chat!!!!!! LOL
