Hi!
Thought I'd check in.
First, *THANK YOU* to all of your for your insight and comments. There is absolutely no way I'd be this far along without this site; of that I am positive.
I am less positive about what I need to do to complete, but it is taking shape.
Currently:
I ditched the counselor I was using, and this lady contacted me. She was/is incredibly helpful, and knocked down a lot of issues for me. :hurray:
I am a BA: Liberal Studies course person now.
Out of all my training and the credits I've earned, 57 apply. I lack 63 semester hours. I think? lol
I took aleks intermediate algebra; then I took about a month off. That one hurt. lol
I am currently beginning the TESU cornerstone course. It popped up like, yesterday? But I can't seem to get into there today, so I can't comment on what it's gonna look like or entail.
As soon as I see how my job and personal life line up, I am going to add a couple more courses to the mix.
First, I need to find something to slot into english comp II. I felt pretty good going into SL Comp I; it was hard for me, so I am looking for a low impact solution here.
Second, I need to find something to slot into information literacy, and diversity. I am thinking the marriage and the family TECEP. DSST still presents some scheduling and drive time issues for me.
Next, I am going to start poring through the list of things TESU will allow me to portfolio, and get the nice lady to see what will fit into the huge gaps I have left. If there aren't enough, then no point in taking their portfolio class. But I lack a buttload of electives, so I am hoping that portfolio stuff will round those gaping holes out.
At that point, I'll lift my head up and get my bearings again.
Thanks again!
