So I'm dropping the $300 book class

I've already taken college-level anatomy but 3 credits instead of 4 so I decided I'm going to drop the class, haul out my old texts for a good review and then try to test out. I've still got 4 other classes this semester so I'm not going to be idle. I can't decide though if I'm rationalizing and procrastinating or if I'm making a sound decision based on my current financial situation and my probably overly inflated sense of cockiness that I remember enough to test out of this shit (with a bit of refresher study).

1. Ah, a four class semester - good luxury! My college considered less than 16 credits part-time.

I never had a four class semester.

Good luck on passing out of anatomy! Not only gets you out of a class and moving forward, it saves you 300 fricking bucks for a frickin book.

I've bought some pricey books, but never more than a hundred bucks, except for limited edition collector copies.

That's outrageous.

I wonder how much it would be on Amazon or half.com or that textbook website I can't remember the name of.

DO WELL! :thumbsup:

2. It's been 10 years since I've been in school so easing my way in is probably a good idea

I'm still going to be working full time and I have to admit that I'm a bit nervous about when the hell I'm going to sleep. I'm working on a degree in health information technology and I was already tested out of and/or had credit transfers for a couple other classes in the program. As a result I pretty much don't have to go full time this semester or next but after that the shit will hit the fan. It's scary but exciting.
