   Shahass76, I got my letter today also! Yay for us! I'm guessing we have to contact the Reed Cross for a schedule of CPR classes. I think things just got expensive!

   It's evident they (Terre Haute) don't care about how much money students have to waste because of their lack of planning. We're just the ones paying their salary, so don't mind us. I wonder what the school would think if we organized a protest? And c...

   I am a traditional in the Air National Guard, so I get the GI Bill. I am also married, so I get to focus on school and guard work. I think I would go nuts if I had to work full time, and try to go to school! I have heard it is too hard to work and ma...

    I am taking micro, ANP 201, and Lifespan Development. Micro is fun, ANP 201 is a killer (for me at least), and I don't really like psyc classes. I am hoping to NOT have to take math136!!!
