Ugh! Good Luck! Yesterday was official move day for me. I have one more load left to get at my apartment, thankfully it isn't much. My house is a MESS!!!! Tons and tons of projects to do and I started class again today on top of it.....HELP ME! I'm drowning!!! LOL

That sounds awful - I'm taking a statistics class right now, and I haven't taken math since literally 1998 or something, so last night I dreamed in word problems. But at least I'm not moving. Try to stay sane (a drink might help - that's my plan for the weekend, a couple of beers and some relaxation!!)

Good luck with that! I had to take a statistics class last year, it was horrible!!! Each problem takes like 20 minutes to get to the answer!

Stacy - thank you for hosting! I am good to go, definitely have enough boxes of books to move to the new house!

[Nicole]

Thanks for hosting Stacy, but I'm going to pass as well this time. My local bookstore had a warehouse sale at the beginning of March and I bought way too many books (but they were $2!!!).

I know, it's terrible!!! I spent about three hours doing homework yesterday and then today my husband was horrified that I wasn't done with everything. It's an 8-week accelerated course, too, which doesn't make it any better... :( I'll be SO GLAD when I'm done.

[Alicia]

I have 190....it doesn't really matter except in my crazy competitive world :-p

Ok Nicole. Wow, I wouldn't have been able to pass that up either! Thanks! Hope you enjoyed the challenge!

These accelerated classes kick my butt! I totally screwed up one of my assignments this week. I used the wrong set of case studies to choose from. Oops! 40 points down the drain. :( Good luck!

I'm sorry Alicia, I'm not sure how I screwed up the score that bad. :( You're tied with Tara, do you want to browse through the books I have and choose one?

No problem. No thank you on the prize, I am getting our house ready to put on the market and I do not need 1 more thing to pack. Thank you for the offer!
