It has been awhile since I have blogged here at eLearners. For those of you who may be wondering where I have been hiding myself, I have been here at home, recuperating from the flu. I suspect I had H1N1, although officially my flu test came back negative. However, the doctor also said the test is wrong 40 percent of the time. If that's the case, what good is the test?
I was on medications for two weeks, and it took about two more weeks to fully recuperate and start feeling like my normal self again. Now that I'm feeling healthy, I'm ready to contribute to the eLearners community once again, and get back to my studies.
Over the past month or so, I also came to a decision about my future at Penn Foster College. As I slaved away over my Managerial Accounting exam, I thought to myself "why am I studying Managerial Accounting? I work a marketing job and I really want to study Communications." Although I have time invested in this semester at Penn Foster College, I feel the right decision for myself is to transfer to a school which offers the program I really want to study, and where I can make full use of my transfer credits. I have decided that school is Excelsior College.
I got a user name and password for Excelsior's documents and admissions page, and I filled out the online application form and paid the $75 admission fee. I now have to send in requests to the U.S. Navy, Penn Foster, Andrew Jackson University and the University of Wisconsin to have my transcripts sent to Excelsior for an evaluation of how many of my credits will transfer into their Bachelor of Science in Communications program.
Once I receive my evaluation, I will know more about how many more courses I need to complete until I earn my degree. I believe that with all of the credits I have earned so far, I am very close. I will post the results of my evaluation here once I receive it. I am truly excited about being so close to realizing my dream of earning my degree!
