Ok, once again I have to thank this wonderful network of friends for your support, advice and encouragement! I just passed my last exam for my BSLS at EC. This means in 11 months I have finished my AS and completed my BS all through testing, and I'm only 20 credits from finishing my BSHS at EC. Not a bad feat for someone who went back to school at 45 to start this whole mess...again! For you newbies I originally came here to just finish my AS degree, nothing more, but I'm now getting ready to apply to graduate school! What a difference a supportive environment makes. I'm amazed at my progress in a year, considering I'm teaching 9 classes and have young children still at home and an old moldy brain. I'm proof anyone can do this if you use the tools available and work hard. I'm looking forward to focusing on just one degree for a few months while I do the paperwork for grad school. I think the key is to study smarter and wiser. I wish everyone the best of luck in their pursuits as the feeling of accomplishment when you finish is the best! Thanks again to everyone here...I couldn't have and wouldn't have wanted to do it without you!
