School

I had an appointment yesterday, with my school's counselor. I have good news, almost all the way around:

• I have 3 classes left. I can take 2 in the summer, one in the fall.
  
• All the classes can be taken online, so I can be home more with my children.
  
• I will be able to graduate in December, as planned.
  
• I have a fantastic GPA. So good that the counselor said, "We don't see grades like this very often...I'll have to check into what needs to be done". While it isn't a 4.0, and could, quite possibly go down (with the grades from the 2 sciences coming in), I will still be able to graduate with honors...
• sort of. Because I transfered near the end of my studies, I won't have enough hours at this school to join the honors ceremony. I could, quite possibly look into graduating from my old school, but I haven't gone there in 5 years. I don't know if they will allow me to graduate there.
  
• Either way, I have a fantastic GPA going into the university. Because of this, there is a STRONG possibility I could earn a $2,000 scholarship toward each semester (so long as I continue pulling good grades).

I have a few things to do to prepare for the next few classes, and for graduation and transferring to the university. I will begin my first list on that note:

1. Find what has happened to my Pell Grant money for the summer classes.
   
2. Schedule an appointment to register for next years Pell Grant.
   
3. Attend "Web Orientation" so I can understand how to take online classes.
4. Begin graduation application process.
   
5. Set up appointment to see counselor at the university.
6. Begin the application process at the university.
   
7. Arrange to have transcripts sent to the university.

And, it will help me to remember this:

If I have even just a little sense,
I will walk on the main road and my
only fear
will be of straying from it.
Keeping to the main road is easy,
But people love to be sidetracked.
