reflections

I am about to end my first semester in college; although I was very tentative to go back I am thoroughly pleased. When I first signed all the paperwork and got my class schedule i was a bit disheartened. I thought that my credits would transfer so I wasn't expecting to take all the general education classes over again. I wouldn't have minded taking the A&P because honestly I would need a refresher course.

With my first thoughts of my schedule being as negative as they were i didn't think I would get much out of my first seven classes. Friday will be the last day of class on my last general education class and looking back i have learned more than I thought I would and I have enjoyed more of my classes than I thought as well. Right now I am about to take the final in my American Literature class and i have to admit; aside from A&P I & II this class has been my favorite. I have a month off from school and I think I will take a crack at some of the books on her book list. I have always enjoyed reading but I really didn't expect this class to be much fun. However, I knew that it would be from the first day of class.

I am almost finished than i have a month off and start with my core classes; which will be very intensive. I am really excited!

Why is Financial Aide so confusing?? They should really be a little more personal on the subject and let us know what is going on. It is after all our money right, our credit, and our tuition expenses. I walked out of that office completely confused. I thought that all of my questions were answered; and I guess that they were. However, I still just don't know. For as expensive as this college is you would think that they would have more access to student loans that will help to cover everything! Not just federal and stafford. Now I need to wait on a call back about what my scedule is supposed to be and if I have to pay for the microbiology class. That is ridiculous. to have one class that is singled out like that and expect a student to just come up with the money for it out of pocket? yeah right it starts in May and i find out about it in March?? Crazy
