UVU Here I come
My application is in, I've been accepted, and I'm progressing towards starting my first semester at UVU. I've been a little crazy and obsessed with the process. Yesterday I went and took my placement test. My math skills have definitely deteriorated since High School. I was surprised to not have to start at the very basic of math classes, but two levels up, still I am one level down from the actual math class that counts towards a degree. My English skills surprised me. I need to start one level down from beginning English. Really? This may be a mute point because my credits from Snow College oh so many years ago can count, and I took my first two English courses then. I'm finding out that maybe transferring my credits wasn't the best idea because my grades weren't the best, I think. The website has me so confused as to what everything actually is. I think is says my grade point average is .370. I don't see how this can be right. That would put me on academic suspension from Snow, and I never even was on probation. Who knows what all of this means. Later today I will have a phone conference with my academic advisor to figure everything out. Thing is I was just there yesterday and she told me I needed to have my transcripts sent. Why didn't she notice they already had been? We could of figured all of this out in person yesterday. So I am obsessing over what all of this will mean in the long run. Getting into the nursing program at UVU is very competitive, I need the best possible(4.0 if I can achieve that) GPA to get into the program. Wow, in hind sight I wish I would of buckled down and did all of this straight out of high school. I was such a good student in high school. Some how life took some pretty drastic turns and threw me into a tailspin of self destruction. I know I am better prepared to take it on now. So there's my rant for the day.
