So I just spoke to Bruce Keller at Arcadia. He seems pretty nice and open and whatnot. Anyway, he just so happens to be my Advisor for when I go to Arcadia this friday. It's really simple, I have to get to the Castle at 8:00 AM (harsh, but fair), I have to get my photo taken for my ID, go through a mini orientation, schedule my classes...and take a placement exam for English!!! It turns out that Arcadia doesn't accept AP credit for English 101. So I have to take English 101. Luckily, I have no more maths to take (as of right now; hopefully they won't push them at me later). But I worked so hard so I could skip 101 and now they're making me take it! Ah, but that's not too bad. I guess. Really, they had said they took AP credits...and said nothing else on the matter. And then Bruce Keller informed me that all Arcadia students are required to take 101--no exceptions. Bruce Keller also helped me narrow down my major to History, with a secondary Ed. So i'll have everything all set up for me. I'm sure they won't be giving me much wiggle room when they help me set up my schedule. But at least I get an advisor!
Beyond that lamentation, I'm doing pretty well here in PA...despite the fact that I have no human contact beyond my grandparents (and they keep introducing me to the different types of fine alcohol--in the smallest of quantities, of course). Maybe I'll be able to see my Aunt Laura and my cousin Lexi at some point this week. And maybe, before I go to Arcadia at the end of August, I'll be able to see my Great-Aunt Sandi and my Uncle Bobby, along with the cousins Scott and Beth (with their Meghan and Nicole), and Craig and his wife (and subsequent children); I haven't seen them in ages.
