I was inspired to keep blogging some through December when I had a great idea for a series. How to balance school and family during the holiday season. This will be brief series with 6 good ways to keep the holidays focused on God and the family He gave us… while still being productive. So,…

2 Random Things I've Learned
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Here are 2 random things I’ve learned this past week. The Ethics in America DSST has an optional essay at the end. Although not specified on the test, you may opt out of this essay by leaving it blank (probably the easiest essay to write!). Before leaving it blank, however, make sure…
Studying Today
I made a 47 on my Macro practice test today. I really wanted to take this test on December 9th, but obviously that score isn’t great. I’m trying to study really hard, and retest on Monday. From there I plan on making a decision for when to schedule my test. I’m using Contemporary Economics, the…

Finishing Up the Old Year
School I am studying for College Algebra, Macroeconomics, Sociology, and Ethics in America right now. Some more that others, depending on when I want to schedule them, but they are all coming up here pretty quickly. I would like to be done with economics and algebra before the close of the year. Economics will be…
"Make it a close second"
I’ve always like algebra. Geometry never really was my favorite, but I liked Algebra. So I actually enjoyed the daily math grind in a way. But I also discovered that I was not called to any career where I did math 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After to much math my brain…
My battle with ALEKs Math (part 1)
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…
Micro Update
I passed with a 54! Glad to be done with that test. Now onto Macroeconomics. And a wedding rehearsal and a wedding… I’ll be back next week with more information.
October Focus: Hunt Accountability
If you are choosing to be a “uncommon” or “distant” student, you will lack the accountability that normal students get a brick and mortar school. To tell you the truth, no one will be telling what to do. Which, to some of you, sounds like a dream come true. It’s not. It’s a nightmare and…
Microeconomics CLEP Update
Graphs like this tend to make me tremble. Tests like this tend to make me a nervous mess. I failed Macro back in February with a 48, and I am now facing both Econ CLEPs again. I have taken three practice tests over the past 2 weeks and scored: 51, 54, and 51. Not bad,…
