A quick call to my councelor at Excelsior sorted out the fact I could take Intro to Sociology and A & I Lit to fulfill the requirements. Needless to say, they are both scheduled for next week.
I think you made a wise decision Lee,
Not that Intro to World Religions and Humanities are TOO difficult....it's just that, given a choice, Sociology and A & I Lit are much more doable with less prep time.
Best of luck on both exams,

Lee
[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Good choice - definately the way to go!
On average, Sociology is usually one of the easiest (if not the easiest) exam out there. Humanities on the other hand WILL NEED a bit more dedicated study so give yourself the appropriate amount of study time. GOOD LUCK!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

I'm stationed at RAF Mildenhall (70 miles north of London), where I've been for nearly two years. Prior to coming here, I lived in Japan for 15 years: 5 in Okinawa, 8 in Tokyo, and 2 in Misawa (Northern Japan). As you can probably tell, I loved Japan and may go back there when I retire (My wife is Japanese). It was an extremely safe country with a great culture and deep traditions. England, on the other hand, just won the dubious award of having the worst crime of ANY country in the world. It's a real joy to be here, let me tell you...... On the bright side, I've met some extremely nice people here but you always are watching your back/property/vehicles/house/children for the crime. That, coupled with the fact the exchange rate is nearly $2 for one Sterling Pound, makes it a place I'm past ready to leave. Thus the rush to finish the degree which will clear the path to retirement.

There's no such thing as "nice in-laws". Everybody knows THAT!

Thank our economic policy makers for such financial prowess compared to foreign currency.

Oh trust me, I silently curse them every time I have to buy something off base. Just yesterday I paid 181 pounds for 4 ball joints for a 1979 Vette I'm restoring. It was that or wait 2-3 weeks for them to get here. That works out to roughly $90 each for a $25.00 part. Gotta love it......
