    Lol amen to you both. That's what I was originally holding out for as well--last week of June. Maybe we shouldn't expect them at all and then it will be super overly exciting when they do arrive...

    It sounds so awful, but whenever I have (what I believe to be) urgent questions, I call LITERALLY every number listed in the directory online until I get through to a person! Otherwise I can almost...

    I was sent directly to voicemail. All I ever get are voice mailboxes whenever I try to call anyone at the school! This is the one thing I absolutely can't stand with

    Yep, I'm taking it online. I can tell you that I maintained a 99% in Algebra throughout the entire semester with minimal effort aside from a mishap with my final. I thought algebra was really easy and...

    Scarlet, I received an invitation to become a "school ambassador" a week or so ago. They incentivized it by offering a polo and a windbreaker with the PHSC emblem on them. I guess there is a stipend...
