I ate breakfast.
Took a shower.
Bub dropped me off at 8:35 am & went to the Fullerton train station to 'foam'*. (Explanation below)
Got into line, filled out paperwork, they LOCKED UP my phone!
Started test.
- Writing Placement Test-score 98 (DUH! But WHICH question did I MISS???)
- Pre-Algebra Test-79 (I was surprised it was THAT high!)
- Algebra Test-23 (I was surprised it was THAT high! What the computer does is that if you seem to score well in the pre-algebra part, the computer program will switch over to algebra. If you gonzo that, it'll switch back to pre-algebra)
- Reading Placement Test-91 (I was so worn out with the Math test that I really didn't care too much when it came to the reading part-I just wanted to get OUT of there!)
DUH.
Re: Math, specifically Pre-Algebra and Algebra-HIGHLY recommended that I take Pre-Algebra MATH 015, which, out of 33 courses, is the 5th course up from the bottom of the math food chain. At least it's not at the bottom.
One of the questions was interesting; it involved how many kBs per second it takes to download within how many seconds, then figuring out how many minutes it would take to download a size xxx mB file.
I thought of what I files I had that were that big, and guessed at how many minutes it'd take based on what I'd do while that file was downloading, i.e. heat up some food, take a shower, start the wash, etc.
I guessed right, after I did a 'check of proof'.
Now I get to harass some poor counselor to direct me to a course of studies, based on the fact that I STILL don't know what I want to be when I grow up! And I still want to see if they're still using administrative monks.
Bummer I gotta walk in and wait in line to see a counselor. Maybe I can bribe one with some Wahoo fish tacos or OSF, and we do my SEPP thingy there?
I just realized that the SEPP (Student Educational Planning Program) is not unlike an IEP for a child in school. The basic idea is the same, just fewer steps in the SEPP. I think. I wish I could get my hands on one, so I know what to do!
I was going to meander over to a couple more buildings to check out stuff, but I was so tired mentally and physically that Bub picked me up and we came home.
Of course I went WRITE to the computer!!!
Now to fill out paperwork...
Make a list...
Start doing the list...
Scroaned (that's it between a scream and a groan)
There's just TOO MUCH to handle. I've had a headache for 1 1/2 days now, including at night.
I know I've handled more, but that was when I was at work and the energy and the people around me were electric. I feel right now I'm using a camp gas lantern with the mantles.
I definitely need some counseling to figure out what I want to have a major in; I mean, they DON'T have majors for, say ADHD/BiPolar Studies, with a minor in Computer Information Systems.
NOT Human Services. I was exposed to it, did well in it, but not enough to make it a major.
So I'm buckling down, going to CalJOBS, going online to check out scholarships, checking to see what I need for a vocational certificate/Associate's degree or whatever.
I DID figure out that from 3 colleges, through the years I have appx a total of 63 credits, 38 of them transferable or that count towards an Associate's degree, and a P.O.S.T. certificate (Peace Officer's Standard Training).
Since I have LOT of the classes in the requirements for these majors, I think I'll try for
- Computer Information Systems Associates or vocational cert;
- Business and Technical Skills vocational cert;
- Computer Software Applications Specialist vocational cert;
- Business Administration Associates degree, or the
- PC Applications vocational cert.
