Cross you fingers for me...it has been a very long time since I have had to take a math test

I actually signed up for U.S History for the fall and then I will be getting financial aid so I will be able to take more classes. It's exciting and scary right?

I am all registered for English 101 and Math 138 (College Algebra for Business and Social Science) and will start classes on September 20th. I can't wait to get started. My son Parker, who is 7, is also excited because now we can do our homework together. When I was studying for the math test he offered to help me because he is really good at math but when I showed him the book he was indignant because real math is not supposed to have letters Thank you all for your good thoughts...I know they helped me!
