I passed! I got an email today saying my GED123.org account status had been changed. I went to check out and saw my scores were posted. It was incredibly surprising to see that I did best in science. Lowest in math, but that’s not a real big shocker. Here’s a screenshot of the PDF of my scores:
I wish I had gotten a specific grade for the essay, because I’d really like to know what the graders though of that. But all I got was a general score for the Writing portion of the Language Arts test. I’m not sure about the accuracy of the 96 percentile for the science test. What that basically means is that I scored higher than 96% of graduating high school students. Oh well, either way, I’ll let it inflate my ego for a short while, haha.
I’ve also determined that I was accepted to CCSF. I finally got into the email account they had set up for me, but no acceptance email was in there. I then went their CollegeBoard school profile page, where it said their acceptance rate was 100%. So yeah, definitely accepted!
So, things are really starting to get into motion, now. I refined my profile on two roommate finding sites, and have found a couple people that may fit my requirements. They’re both girls. I don’t think I could live with a straight guy (I haven’t found any gay ones so far). I just don’t really get along with straight men the way I do with girls and gay guys. I’m hesitant to message these two girls, though. It’s a big step, and I just want to make sure it’s the right time to take it. I’d hate to start talking about getting a place, only to have to back out on one of them later.
I took the orientation course for CCSF earlier, only to learn I needed a student ID number to print out my certificate that would prove I had taken the course. Oh well, it wasn’t that hard, so it won’t be such a hassle to take it again once I take the placement tests (which I’ll have to do physically at the school). The Spring 2010 semester begins January 19th, so I think I’ll be going there at least a week in advance. But that all depends on how much time I need to get settled and whatnot. The placement tests are held regularly according to the website, but I don’t know how often is “regularly”. It could be once a week or every other day. I want to make sure I go when I can take the test, see a counselor, and register for classes, with at least two-three days to get myself oriented with the environment.
I’ll be talking to my mom tomorrow about what the next step should be. I’m no fool, and realize that I can’t do this solely on my own. I need to know I’m taking things in the right direction. One little misstep could really set me back.
I may also mention to my mom about the laptop. I honestly haven’t thought about it in a few weeks. I’ve really only been concentrating on getting my GED and progressing to the next step that will take me to college. I just hope if and when I bring it up to my mom, she doesn’t think, “I knew you were only doing this for a laptop.” I don’t mind, though, because I’m totally expecting her to deny it and say that I need to do a few more things that sets the whole going-to-school thing in stone.
Either way, California, here I come!
