    100 credits is a HUGE accomplishment. You should be very proud. And don't think of it as being slow!!! If you were in a traditional B&M program, you would be paying 35k for your degree, which if you are lucky enough to be among the 27 percent of Americans that actually complete an undergrad, would take you almost five years to complete. I guess what I'm saying is there is NO rush. You are doing very well and are far ahead of national averages.

    GREAT JOB!!!!!
