Day 1

Well today was the first day of school. Math 1030 is going to have a quiz each week along with homework due the same day as the quiz and several tests but it will all be math in a practical application so it should be easy. I don't hate math I just don't love it and hence the reason that I wont be taking any more math classes after this one. I'm also taking UGS 1010 as a class to help me get to know what there is at the U and to help me with getting my degree. POLS 2100 is one of the classes that I have to take for my degree and there will be a lot of reading and 2 midterms and a final. The biggest problem that I'm looking at right now is that both of my finals are on April 30th which is the first day of a three day drill at Camp Williams. I'll be talking with my professors and hopefully things will be able to be worked out. On top of this I checked to make sure that my Tuition had been taken care of by the Purple Heart wavier only to find out that I owed money for tuition. Well I went to the tuition/scholarship office to find out why. After waiting in a rather long line I was able to talk to someone that did get the information that I needed. Evidently the wavier is treated by the U as a scholarship and so you have to be full-time. This means that the system will not process it because I'm not a full-time student at this time. However they will go ahead and put it through manually but it will take a few days. Also while I was there I turned in the form for the subsidized student loan to help pay off other loans and we will use the money saved to be able to pay off the student loan when I'm no longer in school. That is all for now and best of luck to me in all of my work.

Start of school

Well school is about to start up and I can't wait for it. I have all of my books with two for one class that were purchased from Amazon for just over $100 and one from the University book store that was just under $70. I know that books are going to be expensive because the only classes that I have left to take are all upper level except for three. I need to take a total of 30 credit hours of upper level classes along with 2 lower level classes in Political Science and 1 math class over 1030. I'll be taking the math class and one of the lower level classes in Political Science starting January 11th. I'm also going to be taking a class that is meant to help people that are transfers to U of U to help me with the change. The thing that has me the most concerned is changing from the online environment that I have been doing for the last 5 years to the classroom environment. I know that it will be a change and just hope that my grades don't suffer because of it. With my plan to become a professor I want to keep a GPA of 3.5 or above. Well I won't know how things are going to go until I start doing it and here is hoping that things end up going well.
