Turns out my fav history teacher at community college is married to the most awesome history teacher at my 4 year college. I didn't need to take any history classes (having finished the req's at CC), but OH did I want to. I had the right grades, so I joined the history honor society.
I also joined the French honor society because I kinda HAD to, but it sucked and we never did anything EVER. YMMV, I hope.
I also joined the swim club, but never made it to a meeting lol. Was mighty useful for being able to use the reserved lanes tho.
It wasn't a club per se, but I made a LOT of good connections at the study abroad office. Seemed like all the language ppl congregated there, and the lady in change was made of SO MUCH WIN.
And word to the wise, FREE THERAPY at the student counseling center. Hour long sessions, three times a week...I felt like a rich person! :D
The women's center at CC was very similar to the counseling center at 4yr. These ladies really want to see women succeed and they'll likely know people who can help you.
As for the gov't assuming my parents would help me? That still really pisses me off. They *would* have if they *could* have. Four knee surgeries isn't free. No leftover anger there, nope, none at all.
And DUUUDE, if they can bump you to the front of the waiting list, do it! :) Just figure life owes ya one :p
