I second all of the above! Nicely said, Anastasia.

Anastasia, thanks for the advice. Yeah, but I'm sure being surrounded by 25 beautiful women must make those guys feel like winners, at least for a little while.
BTW, I edited this post because what I wrote could've been taken out of context and I didn't want to offend anyone.

Big congratulations! I know what you mean about the Hollywood/LA thing. I worked/lived there for 3 years as a cameraman for a national tv broadcaster and covered all the red carpet's and film premiere's among other things.
You have to get out of LA to find the 'real' USA.
Set yourself goals, not limitations

You got an interesting career too.
I know what you mean about LA but I found OC and especially San Diego more down to earth.

Nap - my biggest setback was that I went into this process thinking I would need only 60ish credits, and ended up needing 91 because some of my college courses didn't transfer and others were in quarter unit credits or something.
The way I look at it is that if I had known I would need 91 originally, I might not have been in the mindset to start because it would have looked too daunting. Once I found out that I needed all of the extra credits, my head was already in the game. Things usually have a way of working out for the best.
See you at graduation!

I'm not sure I would recommend that pace, to be honest! On top of everything else, it took it's toll and my back was spasming at the end.
I felt driven to push through because I have other things on my agenda that need attending to, and it would be hard if my attention was split. Plus, my business slowed way down around the holidays in December so I got a lot of tests under my belt that month.
I've been really sick (sore throat, aches...) since immediately after I finished my last test. It was like my body was kind enough to wait until I finished and then went, "No. The pace was too fast. I'm grounding you for a week so you can rest."

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am so jealous I can't wait to write my I'm done thread.
Your pace was really amazing and your test scores are excellent. Good Luck in whatever you do next. I don't think you really need luck you make your own, but it never does hurt.
