Skool Update

Well UMUC was a complete failure. I registered for classes, squared away my TA, TA paid the college and the term started. Sounds good, right? No wrong, they insisted I was not registered yet and couldn't find me in the 'system'. After they took the Army's money for my tuition of course. I was not able to access my courses. This continued for the first week of the term. I contacted the university and talked to some support people (which BTW was not easy to do) and they told me basically, "Well, I dunno." Well I know and that is goodbye. They gave me my TA back and I'll never go to those dumbasses again. I can only imagine how screwed up the term would have been had I stayed.

So now I'm registered at American Military University an online only school that has military-type degree plans. So far so good. Registering was easy no problems with the TA but the term doesn't start until 06 Oct, so we'll see if I can access the courses. The best part is that my books are paid for with my TA which is very uncommon, so I pay nothing out of pocket. Wish me luck.

Courses for Fall term -

RQ295 - Foundations of Online blah, blah, blah
Basically a BS prerequisite most online schools have these. They suck and don't transfer a complete waste of time and money.

RQ301 - Intro to Military History
Sounds like fun, I'll take it.

Guess my major?
