finally deciding to go for it

[staceydiane]

I am probably going to start Foundations of English Comp this weekend.  Writing is one of my strengths, but it's been a long time since I've been in an English class, so I figure it's a good refresher.

One thing you could do would be to sign up for ASU's English Comp I: https://ea.asu.edu/courses/english-composition-eng-101/ Not this one, but the one starting in May. Yes, it says it's $425. But it's actually FREE if you audit the course (take it without a grade). It would be more work than ONU's class, but it would also give you the freedom to get reacquainted with academic English without the pressure of having to do well for a grade.

Ooh, I had forgotten about ASU!

Just Wow! You've accumulated so many credits pretty quickly! I wouldn't worry about the math/stats until you get there again. You may want to put focus on other courses and go back to it, sometimes it takes a tad of a break and then you can retry at Sophia or another provider if you need. There are so many ways to play things with the college credits - If you're going to UMPI, you can do English I & II from them, if you're doing Excelsior, you can try Sophia.org for another month or Study.com...

I decided to retake one of my Statistics Milestones and I PASSED Statistics!!!!  YAY!!!!

Since I decided to go with Excelsior, I'm going to take some of those LawShelf classes.  I worked for lawyers for so many years that I should do pretty well on those exams.  After that, I'll probably do Study.com.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 

Statistics will definitely look good on your transcript if you continue on to a Master's in Social Work or Psych. A lot of Master's programs for those degrees require at least a basic stats class. And you've got it!

Thanks!!!!  I wanted to go ahead and get stats out of the way just in case I go for the Master's.  I told my husband how relieved I was that I was done with statistics and he was shocked that I didn't enjoy it.  HA!!!

At the rate of speed you are going, you may be able to start UMPI in May if that is the college you want to go to.

Buena suerte!

Muchas gracias!  I can't start anywhere until January because of the dinero situation.  I have to wait for my AmeriCorps Education Award.

Excelsior, UMPI are great choices... You're just at roughly 60 credits, I wouldn't worry about taking courses at the moment and you can save up cash flow for later. I highly suggest continuing on your current credits with the providers you're familiar with or using. At Excelsior, you need to start finding UL courses to hit your requirements now, for UMPI, you'll have to take the bulk of the UL at UMPI for residency.
