Stop in for a cup of coffee

We've been trying to sign the older kid up for a math class at the local Comm College... He has taken it at our local Comm College three times and not able to take it again... Don't know why they limit you, if it's your money why can't you take it as many times as you need to figure it out.... :realcrazy:

Monday was spent tracking down transcripts from the local Comm college that he attends and his high school... The high school was shut down in the morning for an "institute day" and we had to wait until noon to be able to pick up his transcript.... :BangHead:

So Tuesday we get up early to sign him up at the Joliet comm college... He had to take off some work for this as that was one of his early start days... He had to apply online and it took till 5 PM for him to get the email that he was accepted... :rolleyes:

So we get up early on Wed to sign him up, drive all the way out there, and they were closed for a meeting.... :wtf: :icon_fU:

No notice posted on the door the day of or before telling us that they wouldn't be in until afternoon, and he works 6 days a week.... :mob:

Yesterday was one of his early start days and I was able to sleep in a little... My cold has kicked up again from lack of sleep and work... :(


So the kid's so pissed at the Joliet comm college that he's going to sign up today at the comm college in Dekalb, which is near NIU where he is going for his degree and he's sure that the credit will transfer.... :drama:

However it's about a 50 minute drive and $8 in tolls one way per trip.... :(

This will mean that we will be paying $32 per week ($130 per week) plus gas and time for him to go there for class two days per week... :mad: :wtf:

We will definitely have to save the I-pass toll refill receipts so he can write the tolls off on his taxes.... :BangHead:


I will be taking a nap in a little bit so I can catch up on some sleep...

Good news...

The kid got back from registering for class in Dakalb, and they are mostly on line and they have to show up in person for 4 tests only... That eliminates the long commute and toll burden... :D
