So when all was said and done, I got a B in my English and Business classes, and an A in my computer classes (Excel and Access). Taking the summer term off but will start up again in September, assuming I have the funding. Going to talk to a financial aid advisor tomorrow.

Nicely done! Rooting for you in the fall.

For those of you not following me on Twitter or Facebook, and are interested in my academic progress, I offer you this update.

After my first term of college, I started back up in the fall part-time and have now completed four more terms. I've managed to get straight A's all four terms, made the Dean's List, and been invited to join the Phi Theta Kappa honor society.

The summer term just ended (will officially on Saturday, but I got all my grades today). I took two classes: Business Management 111 and Marketing 285: Advertising on the Internet. Both courses involved a lot of writing, no multiple choice tests to be had, which made me pretty nervous, because I hate having my writing judged.

I LOVED my BMGT class, my teacher let me use my own business as an example for every assignment so that made the class very relevant to me. One of my major assignments was developing a personal development plan which made me take a good hard look at my life goals and five year plan. My lowest score on any one assignment was 92% and I got a perfect score on three of the small writing assignments, as well as the final. This made me very happy, as you can probably imagine. My final grade calculated out to a 96%.

I HATED my MKTG class. The research studies we were supposed to write our papers about were about 10 years old, which in the world of internet advertising is a lifetime ago. I wasn't a fan of this teacher when I took an E-Commerce class from him last year, and our textbook was a high school one. At least it was only five years old. I bitched about this class a LOT. I got full points for my participation in the discussion boards, but have been waiting for my scores on the two papers, which I wasn't even sure I had done correctly because the instructions were rather vague and when the teacher was asked to clarify, his answer was no clarification at all. So I figured I'd just do it my own way and hope for the best. Well, I got 100% on both papers! I think this is the first time I've got a full 100% on the entire class. I guess I'm not allowed to bitch about this teacher anymore! I have him for two similar classes next term, so hopefully I will do as well.

Classes start up again on the 22nd. I'm taking a full 12 credits this time, four classes, so it's going to be a lot more time consuming, plus I'm going to have to actually go into the college to take my tests. I'm attempting to get things well organized over the next week so I don't spend forever looking for the things I need.

I'm feeling pretty good about this college thing. I've still got at least a year, probably two before I get my degrees (yes that's plural) then I'll need to figure out my next step for a bachelor's degree or two. Haven't really decided if I want to go for the full MBA or not yet. But so far so good!
