Excited and Scared!!!

It's official!! I got all the paperwork Saturday. I'll be going back to school in January!! I'll be taking Web Design.

I have received enough grants that I only have to have a $1,000 student loan. The only thing left to do is take the placement test.

I'm scared because I never went to college before. I have worked since I was 16, and although I was a certified secretary from the tech school I went to the last 2 years of high school, I hated it. I couldn't sit all day.

Caitie is excited to. She thinks we'll be able to do homework together! I just hope I'll be able to do it all, manage my store, take care of the kids and get all the homework done!

Way to go! You CAN do it. I was just thinking about taking some graphics type classes. Let us know how things go...maybe that will inspire me. lol

WTG...you will love it!!!!

WTG Dawn!!!
Sweetie, you can do this!!! I know you can!!!

So happy you have Caties support on this!!! :hugs:

Whoo-hoo! So exciting!

How old is old? I'm 32...for college, that's old!?

I have to take photography class...actually there are 4 of them! I'm really excited about that!! The photo editing class will be good to!! I have done a couple web sites before, but it was just plugging things in. It was pretty easy. I just need to do something different. Now that the college has something I'm interested in, figured that was a sign!

Im 32 too, well i'l shake your hand my girl, you got more guts than i do!!!

lol!! I haven't went yet!! Come talk to me after DF drags me to school the first day!

oh I have every confidence in you doing this !!!!

Congrats!!!

I was 34 when I went back....was fabulous....now you baby gals don't need to talk about OLD!!!!!

Congrats Dawn.....Web Design...great! I may need you! LOL....Who is a baby here.....I am 31.....I went straight through school took 2 1/2 years of my BA for criminal justice then had to quite. Wow working full time, taking 5 university courses and being a single mom sucked! I give you alot of credit Dawn as I am way to scared to go back!

The only thing left to do is take the placement test. Since I have been a manger for years, I thought I'd do okay. Well, I guess I thought wrong!! I took the pratice test online and I got way more wrong then I did right!! I guess that's just from being out of school for so long!! 14 years...geez where does the time go?

You'll be able to do it....most of it should be common sense.

hehe.. okay.. let me give you a question...

Susan has 14 jelly beans in her pocket. 8 are red, 3 are blue and 3 are green. What is the least amount she can pull from her pocket to guarantee that she will get one of each color?

And no, it doesn't matter how lucky she is!! hehe

Are you looking for probability or odds, determines if your answer needs to be in fraction form or decimal? Curious......I had this in college and found it intriguing!!! BUT....I don't remember exactly how to get the answer...but I am working with it!

I'm totally at a loss.....what kind of question is that?

I have to give up at the moment....my BRAIN is dusty and supper is calling to be cooked!!!! BE back in a bit to work on this!

hehe... it was on one of the math test. Don't work that hard. It's just a number from 1 to 14. lol...

okay... here's the options...

a) 3
b) 10
c) 12
d) 14

3

nope

well, I guess if she's lucky... hehe
