Well, I sent in my online course registration form to BU. It wasn't easy. Balancing out your required courses, prerequisites, and electives while avoiding scheduling conflicts is like a challenging (but unpleasant) game. Lord willing, though, I'll get in the classes I need....... [view]

So I thought that my FAFSA corrections hadn't been processed, but they had. My EFC is 000, just as I wanted. Now if only my loans could be $0 also.

This morning, I woke early, grabbed my passport and traveled to a foreign land - the land of GRE. What I saw there cannot be disclosed, but I can tell you this: I got a 740 on the verbal and a 640 on quantitative. By the mercy of God, this is better than I expected. The essays I'll have to......

You got to love the BU College of Communication - not only do they have a website, they have a MySpace (which is kinda like the web's bastard child). Reach your market where they like to hang out, that's what I say....... [view]
