Yes, I know it seems that I dropped off the face of the earth. But I did not. In fact, I am still very much here! Here’s what’s going on.
I met with my CollegePlus coach and degree advisor. We picked my remaining courses and lined up what I needed to take. Because I switched to a business degree, I needed a greater amount of math credit. I needed College Algebra and Intro to Statistics. CollegePlus recommends that you take these courses through ALEKs math, instead of a CLEP exam. This route is cheaper ($20 vs. $100) and a better way to learn math. So, I had 2 ALEKs courses on my horizon.
And then my mom got an email that she had 2 months free, thanks to a homeschool company. So I signed up.
And that same day CollegePlus emailed with the breaking news: ALEKs had lost their accreditation with ACE. 1 year ago I didn’t know what that meant, now I know it means that I don’t get college credit for my work. So, I stopped working.
THEN, CollegePlus emailed me on October 23 and said that if I could complete my course before November 1, 2013, ACE would give me the credit.
So, even though I was going to take Microeconomics in 2 days, even though I was in a wedding in 3 days, even though I would be gone all day Sunday, and EVEN though I had planned to take the next week off because I was turning 20… I decided to try it.
To be continued.
