yeah i enrolled in kaplan before. but i dunno it didn't really help me. for me saunders is better.. the questions in kaplan is pretty good but still its hard for me to understand..

once in a while we go to the riverside coz one of my aunt lives there..

so what date in nov are you planning to take it??

if i don't pass, i'm planning to apply for work.. i'm totally bored and i want to take a break for studying.. do you think i could apply for cna job even though i'm not certified??
