Cool. I'm doing an Introductory Diploma, then hopefully First then National, then if I can, do a Foundation Degree.

What a coincidence, that's when I start college! :)

I'm looking forward to it as well, though I am a little nervous that it's going to be hard. I'm hoping to make a lot of new friends.

I start tomorrow. I really nervous. It is a math class and I have already failed it 3 times at other places. i just can't get it right and I don't know how to get the help I need because I don't know what help I need. I get sensory overloaded really easily, so I doubt I will get beyond the roll call of names before "checking out" and being totally out of it and unable to focus.

I'm moving back for my senior year of college on August 29th. I'm a writing major with a minor in literature so I'll be doing a lotta reading but it's okay. At least I'm done with all my general education courses. :D

What type/level of math?

Don't sweat it too much on the first day. You should be proud of yourself for trying again.

Good luck, let us know how it goes. :)

Basic f*n algebra. My biggest concern for the day (take it one day at a time, right?) is that I get sensory overload really easily. I tried to spend some time on campus and everything.... but sitting in class with a new teacher, and ppl I don't know, and a new seat/room, and a subject that intimidates me has been in the past a huge overload. I'm going to use my car as a "safe zone" if things get really out of control, but I doubt they will. I signed up to get help with the disability department, but I don't have my entrance interview until next week. I gotta pass these classes cuz I'm a chem major!
