1. Email Dr. D about whether he's teaching the class I want to audit
2. Hopefully get him to sign audit form
3. Call LR's friend to ask her questions about her career
4. Call for followup advisement with M

ok, changing a few things:

5. Print transcript
6. Find equivalencies at possible alternate University
7. Go to possible alternate's admissions office and have a long talk
8. If talk goes well, rejigger everything.

This weekend ok I mean TODAY

Extra credit assignment in political science
Algebra Homework- lots
Write a paper on the book Girl in Hyacinth Blue for Humanities

This coming week (before next weekend)
More algebra
Go to the school and take algebra test
Read, quiz, discussion posts in Humanities
Political Science work- watch videos, lectures, write a paper, discussion posts
Actually go to algebra class

The big thing this week is I have to volunteer time on Election day and write a paper on it for ps.
I am not really thrilled about this one. I really have no desire to stand outside and rally for anyone however this is a HUGE chunk of my grade in the class so I can not skip it.

These online classes are kicking my butt.

However, one down for the semester- three more to go and I already registered for spring classes.
One day I WILL have a degree!

2) re-load dishwasher
3) put away clean laundry
4) wash more laundry
5) pick up living room (at least)

Less than a week till I take the Miller's Analogy Test. I'm sooo grateful for the Princeton Review! (On my way out the door!!)

Friday I get a haircut in preparation for the Interview in two weeks. (Did that.)

I really need a new dress that looks professional, too. (MIL bought me one.)
