School days, school days…….
So, I have spent the last TWO weeks trying to coordinate getting back in to school this summer – some days, I wanted to just throw my hands up.
First of all, I answered my residency questionnaire when I re-applied a little too honestly, so now they have me listed as a non-resident of Texas. I have resubmitted paperwork this week to try to get that changed, but nothing yet. If it stays that way for the summer, my tuition is double. Ugh.
Secondly, I really wanted to get back in to my education program in the fall…but I still need 12 hours before I can start the program and I can only get 6 in over the summer. So, now I have wait until NEXT Fall to start it. The OK news, is that besides the 12 hours I need – there are about 12 more hours I can take before I start that will apply, so at least I will have something to do before I start and it will make the program semesters a little lighter once I get there.
Lastly, I like to get my books in advance of class. I like to look through them, see what I have gotten myself into, etc. But, of course, the teacher for my 1st summer class has not turned hers in to the bookstore yet. The good news is that she uses a “packet” instead of a book – so the cost is much lower but still. Hurry up.
On a side note, new thing since I was last in college – book RENTAL. I may use it for my 2nd class and if I do, I will let you know how it works. Interesting.
