I went to the Tech today to take the required test there to enroll in college. It was actually an odd experience. I worked the day before up into 7:10 this morning, the test wasn't until nine, I got their about 15 minutes early. As we start to take the test however I get this sudden urge that I have to...take a load off my mine, and this was when the first part of the test started!!! I finish the first reading skills part of the test (20 questions) and the teacher permits me to use the restroom. Now being the newbie I am at the Tech, I forgot where the restrooms where, so right when I found them and was walking off in that direction I overhear a gal in the background whispering "Is that Dale Kulas?" I wanted to turn around and see who it was, but I really had to go, and hey when nature calls... ;)
So I relieved myself, and sprung through the rest of the test no problem. I had my scores instantly in front of me when I was done with the test. I did pass reading by about 6%, no I won't have to take any intro classes for that. I almost had a perfect score in the sentence structure of the test, I guess I can contribute the past 5 years of reviewing for helping me out with that. I got a slightly below average score in basic Math, but still passed. Thanks in part to studying fractions off math.com the day before. But as I suspected I did horrendous on the final part of the test, Algebra. Now I finished both Algebra I & II in High School with a D overall. So now I found out I'm going to have to take Intro to Algebra.... woohoo.
Registration isn't for another two weeks or so, but I plan on only taking 2, maybe 3 classes so I don't overwhelm myself while still working full time. Corey helped me mail out my back-out letter to UND the other day so hopefully I won't have to worry about them hassling me to join up with them anytime soon. But so far I'm actually looking forward to going back to school, should be able to make new friends, and get to know my former classmates from HS again.
I'm on the verge of passing out now, I'm not use to staying up this late, damn test. Latez!
