I am back from Wichita Falls, and Transfer Day was a success. I had a more thorough tour of the school, than I did in May. I even got to sample the cafeteria food--which was of restaurant-style quality. The pizza tasted exactly like Pizza Hut.

I have my roommate/housing assignment, and I have already registered for classes. I will be taking General Chemistry II, Intro to Geographic Information Systems, Beginning French I, and General Economics.

Hey that's cool Tim. May I ask why you decided on that particular school? Where do you live now? My husband and I live in Bryan College Station. You look my husbands age... late 30's? I went to college in my 30's. I didn't finish and I still dream of going back.

I live in Deer Park, a suburb of Houston. It's close to Pasadena and Baytown.

My decision to attend Midwestern was because an instructor at the community college I attended recommended it. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1, and the geology program would let me take algebra/trig-based physics. Some of the other colleges required calculus-based physics, and some required math up to differential equations. Midwestern only requires math up to Calculus 2.

Actually, I am 27 years old.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Hut. When I was a school photographer, I remember a set of schools on a military base having Domino's on the day we were there.

My oldest son is 27 but I think he looks younger... maybe it's cuz I've seen him his whole life.

I'm glad you're getting into a school that lets you take algebra/trig-based physics! That's awesome. The student-teacher ratio sounds pretty good, too! I wish you much luck, I bet you'll do great!

It takes 7 hours to get there from Houston, but that includes getting gas and stopping for lunch and dinner. The first hour of driving is just getting out of the Houston area (from the eastern suburbs to the town of Huntsville, about 80 miles north of downtown Houston).
