Studying for the IC3 certification exam. I think it'll be ok, actually - word is that if you work with computers daily, you should be able to pass it. Still, I'm a little nervous because only part of it is about using software (specifically Word and Excel) and the Internet. Some of it cover things I'm familiar with, but not as much as I feel I ( Read more... )

Yay for Internet access! I'll try to write more tomorrow and respond to people's comments from yesterday. Right now I need to go look at a video and read some outlines to prepare for the IC3 certification I have to pass next week in order to start classes. (Anyone familiar with it?)

Got my financial aid application on file, did the loan counseling, signed the paperwork. I'm scheduled for orientation and for the computer certification test. ($90 out of my pocket! Ouch.) Tonight I called my cousin Dave to see if I can stay with them for a couple of nights while I'm in the area for orientation and I've made arrangements to ( Read more... )

Registration for classes starts today. I forgot to take the letter with my ID and password to work, so I couldn't do it on my break - and when I tried to log on just now, it didn't recognize my password - and it's after 8:00, so the help desk is closed. *sigh* This is the second time I've reset my password (as required after the first login) and ( Read more... )

Remember earlier this year I was talking about library school? I was looking at a program at IUPUI but really wanted to go to Wayne State. I didn't apply there because the non-resident tuition was quite high and I didn't think it was a good time to be moving up to Detroit without a job. (There's an understatement!) Well, last month, while ( Read more... )

I need to finish getting dressed and ready to head out because today is Graduation Day. Finally getting that bachelors degree after all these years ( Read more... )

I'll be finished with my bachelors degree on June 18. (Graduation is actually May 3; they let us walk then but we still have a class to finish. The last day of class is June 18.) I'm not sure what I'll be doing job-wise at that point - stay where I'm at? Look for something with better pay (and an office!)? A lot of that depends on what I do ( Read more... )

I didn't say it out loud - well not exactly - because people who have to say "I told you so" annoy me. But when this semester (Accouting, Finance, Economics, ohmigosh will it never end?!) began, our instructor suggested we each buy a scientific calculator. (Also good for the Dreaded Statistics coming up next semester.) I found a ton of them at ( Read more... )

Haven't had Internet access at home since October and I got so far behind reading that I quit posting. Which is silly, really. Anyway, I'm almost caught up reading again, except for the Buffy group. It's been faster not commenting, which is why comments are so few and far between right now. If you've posted fic and I haven't commented it's ( Read more... )

I haven't been here in ages, except to try to catch up with friends' journals. Things have been insane at work (work and school are the only two places I have Internet access) and I've been behind on all my lists, e-mail, everything. Haven't been out with the Vegas Fen group in ages, either. I'll be so glad when I'm done with school! January 11 ( Read more... )
