   I wouldn't think that we needed a book for practicum but then again, I have no clue really. LOL!! I would think that the things we learn in Fundamentals lecture and lab would be from the text books, and that the practicums are more "hands-on" learn...

   No, I haven't purchased any yet. I was waiting on Stephanie to assure me that we needed ALL of them before I bought ALL of them. LOL. I am sure what they say is required is actually "required", I've just had such a bad experience in the past with ...

   Excellent question, Amy - I was wondering the same thing myself. Should we start reading ahead? Also, do we REALLY require ALL the books the bookstore says we need for our classes? I have my 6:30 am class on Wednesday...it is going to be interesting ...

   Hey Stephanie!!! Thanks for replying to our thread...yes, we are all giddy!! They had 174 applicants and they only took 24 of us, so it is a great honor!! Although the wait for the acceptance letter was torture! How is it going?? Well, you answe...

   Ha!! Exactly. At least it's just the price of an expensive car, and not a 5-bedroom house in the Hamptons or something :) It's definitely an investment, but we will be so proud to have TCU on our degrees when we graduate :) I wish they would sen...

   I keep telling myself "It's all going to be worth it!!!" So, each semester costs roughly what a small Kia would cost. It's all good, right?? LOL!

    Hey Amy - first off, I would talk to financial aid as soon as possible. I don't know what you have to do in your situation, but mine was taken care of and all I had to do was accept/decline on the my.tcu.edu site. Have you gone to that site yet? Anyw...

    Ha ha!! I feel the same way...I wanted to lose 10-15 pounds over the summer, but now it's so freaking hot outside I can't hardly stand it. Oh well, maybe the heat will allow me to sweat the 10-15 pounds off!! I thought the CPR class was a great de...
