Frustration! And more frustration.

Things that should not be difficult but are: registering for school. This is, apparently, a week-long process of bureaucracy, e-mails, and requests.

On the plus side, I might be arranging my own independent study for a credit. Once I can figure out how.

I think it works like: you get a credit for every hour that your class meets in a week.

So, I took math classes that met for four hours per week, two 2-hour sessions, and those were 4 credit classes. But I might also take an English class that met for three hours per week, two 1.5-hour sessions, and that would only be 3 credits.

On the other hand, we don't have full-year classes. Only half year. There's "fall semester", "spring semester", and "summer semester". (So really more like 1/3rd a year.)

But you need hundreds of credits to graduate. 8D

Memory was saying like 250 maybe. But I'm thinking less? Depending on the program, of course. An AA or AS is like, 60-64 credits, and that's a two year program. (I've got an AA, but I also have extra credits that didn't get counted by it. I took lots of electives, mostly computer science-y.) But a four-year college is going to be at least 128.

SORRY FOR BEING MISLEADING :(
