School update

I’m officially enrolled in a Spanish for Spanish Speakers class. I took a Spanish class at Cal State 10 years ago, so the credits won’t count toward graduation, but this is a skill that I’ve been lacking. It’s more appropriate for me than the other class I took, which was a general Spanish class. Spanish for Spanish Speakers, on the other hand, focuses on grammar, spelling, and presumably more advanced vocabulary.

My class and parking permit are already paid. Next week, I’m going to start the financial aid process for next fall, take proficiency exams in math and/or English (although I took English 101 and 102 already at CSULA, so they should give me an okay for higher English classes already), pick up the parking sticker, and hopefully talk to a counselor about graduation requirements and what’s covered by my transfer credits.

By the time I’m done with this semester’s “for fun” Spanish class, I should be ready (counseling, financial aid, etc) for a normal course load with classes that’ll actually help me graduate. Based on what I can see in the catalog, things look good. =)

Charles wants to go to school now too, even though he’d rather do a bunch of tech classes than do everything and get a degree. =P
