I feel like I have a fairly good chance of getting into the accelerated program that starts this summer, but my chances will seriously decrease if I only manage a 'B' in English. I am so scared.

I may know as early as the end of next week if I'm in or not. If I don't hear by the 24th, I am supposed to call.

Wish me luck on the HAPS test tomorrow.

I started Spring classes this past Tuesday, and I have Microbiology, A & P II, and Beginning Guitar (more on that later) on campus. Comp II, Growth and Development, and Intro to Computer Information Systems are online. My goal is to earn As in all of these classes, and I am choosing to believe that it’s possible
