Summer 2009 Classes!

Well, it is that time of the year again, time for the beginning of more classes! I have been out of class for a couple of weeks now, and am very happy to have a break from school! However, I am noticing myself get lazy and quite possibly can see myself getting bored if I didn't take classes in the summer. This semester, I have enrolled in some general education courses that are required for me to receive my Associates Degree from Parkland.

TIP TO NEW STUDENTS!

• Order your textbooks early, so it is guaranteed that you will have the book before classes begin! (Last semester, I waited until the last week of winter break to order my books online and was without a book for the first week of my online art appreciation class!)
• Do not expect the college to remind you when deadlines for scholarships, paperwork, and other miscellaneous information, you are in college now and need to take responsibility! (I have missed a couple of scholarship application deadlines that would help make my already cheap tuition at Parkland College even cheaper! Who doesn't love to save money!?)

I will keep everybody posted on how my summer classes go and any other tips that I may pick up as I make mistakes, and feel free to ask any questions that you may have!
