What a hectic week so far! For me anyway as I prefer to only have one extra thing to do a day or less. Monday was get the final curriculum straight for this coming school year, including a call to Weatherford College to see about dual enrollment for Jared and Ben for their senior year of high school. They have done all the math Abeka offers since they completed Trig/Analytical Geometry last year. So I was told that for them to take Calculus at WCC I would need to fill out an early enrollment form, regular college application, and submit a transcript. Well that took all day yesterday as I hadn't conglomerated all their grades yet and had to find a transcript template on line, which I ended up modifying and making my own tables on WORD.
I guess it all turned out pretty well, because this morning as the three of us assembled at the College, the admissions counselor kept saying, "excellent" as he perused it. I have to admit I'm more impressed with their accomplishments after seeing them concentrated on 2 pieces of paper each. They've worked really hard to make good grades, and accrued 186 community service hours each! And that does not include serving as Altar boys and Choir members. But it does include Pysanki sale days, Peroghi making and sale days as well as food pantry and monastery and Mexico orphanage improvement projects.
Next they have to take a placement test and get cleared with the head of the Math Dept. The Counselor was really helpful and told them to come to his office and let him know after they scheduled their test and then again after they take it and he will personally register them without their having to stand in the long, last minute lines. Cool.
Ben's already started a post on the trip which will probably beat mine to the presses.
