School Girl

OK....... here's some news. I'm going to college.

I don't know yet, exactly what my college goals are, so I'm just going to start with stuff that I know I can use now. Like English. I am having a lot of fun writing on my blog, but I have become very aware of my writing limitations. And, I have always wanted to write a book so I decided, if I'm really going to do that, I had better get some help.

Before enrolling in a math or English class you have to take a placement test to see if your scores are high enough to qualify for collegiate level learning. I took my placement test today and as it turns out, I need more help than I originally thought. I had a 107 in reading comprehension which qualifies me for English 101, but only a 76 in sentence skills and that qualifies me for English 095. They call that a split score, so I'll have to write a short essay for a tie breaker. I guess I'll go in on Monday to write the essay and see if I get to be in the smart, or the not so smart class. Hopefully they will let me know right away, so I can get enrolled in whichever while I'm still there. I'm going to try to get into the Internet instead of the live class, but the lady who helped me said they are filling up fast since the classes start next week.

Stay tuned to see what happens.
