Cowboy Boots and Degree Plans
I had an awesome visit with Matt and Kristyn. We hung out, gamed, and watched movies. We went bowling and my high score was like 80. I know, I suck. Kristyn, having taken a bowling class this summer, did much better. We went to see My Super Ex-Girlfriend which was dumb and predictable but very funny and starred one of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard.
Karen has been looking for cowboy boots for Mom's wedding, which has a western theme. She found some on Ebay and bid $.99 for them. Monday night the lot closed and she won! For $.99!!! If I tried that I'd end up paying more than retail for them.
While I was at Kristyn's I got a message from someone at my school regarding art classes. I was expecting this call because I enrolled in Drawing II and was told but my Drawing I teacher, Mike, that they were probably going to condense the two sections offered into one and that either he or Ms. King would be teaching the resulting class. But the woman called back Monday morning to find out if I wanted in the new class or if I wanted to just drop it. I asked, just to make sure, who was teaching the new class. I'm glad I did because it isn't either of the teachers I thought it would be. It's being taught by the same teacher I had for Art History last fall. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Shudder gasp!!!! I told her to drop me.
I got on the internet to look up what other class I could replace that one with and called Karen to get her to look too. The way they lay out the schedule online is not easy to look through so I wanted a second pair of eyes. I ended up enrolling in Sociology.
It was really lucky that we had a reason to look at the website Monday though. If we hadn't we wouldn't have known about the informational meet and greet Tuesday. It seems that the University Center at MCC is adding degree plans!
MCC is just a two year school but the UC is a program they have in cooperation with four year schools like UTA and Tarleton. An MCC student, like me, can earn a bachelor's degree from one of the participating schools but attend the classes on MCC's campus. Until now the degree's available in this program were limited to business degrees and a k-4 teacher's course. They added six new degrees plans.
Karen and I went to the informational session yesterday and have been pouring over the catalogs ever since. One of the new degree plans is a BS in Psychology. Which is what I originally wanted to go to school for but gave up the notion because I can't afford to transfer and the only local program for it is Baylor which I can't afford.
I got the degree plan and looked at every class required and I have quite a bit of if done. Best of all there is no foreign language requirement. None. No Spanish, no French -- NONE!!!! Dance of Joy!!!!!!! Happy Dance!!!!!!!!

Count your blessings chicky, foreign language was one huge hurdle for me. I did it, and did it the best I could, which is now represented as four semesters of medeocre C's. Boo for those damn C's but it's awesome that they're entering new degree plans. They really need to diversify those programs so they could fit more people. Had they offered more when Matt and I lived there we may not have moved at all. Alas, we did, no undoing that, especially this close to the end.
We did have an awesome visit! It's my turn to visit you now, and I'm thinking about doing that before school starts at the end of August. Let me know when is good for your girly!!
kk, now that I've written a book, time for me to go!
Kristyn
Great news about MCC. What's Wendy think? Glad to see things finally going your way.
I'm a little jealous that you get out of having to take a foreign language.. That's just punky.
you have to take one, Mayren?
oh yea. My major requirement includes a foreign language. i will go with Spanish since i can read and understand more of it than any other language.
