June College Update

It’s been about a month since my last college update. Obviously, I took some time away to attend TechEd in Houston and then another week to recover from TechEd. But Sunday I passed my Math Fundamentals course with an 81%. The only required classes left for this term are the…


MCT Dinner

What an awesome MCT dinner. Exclusively sponsored by New Horizons and Microsoft. Being as I was the only New Horizons representative, they presented me with a bottle of wine. (I don’t think the TSA will let me have it on the airplane so I will need to find a way to…

Finished first class

One week into the program and I’ve finished the first class. Just waiting on the voucher so I can take the final.  Still seems kind of silly that after 20 years in the IT field  that I still had to take IT Fundamentals Level 1. But on the bright side, I was able to…

WGU Orientation

Just finished 12 hours of orientation. That was really boring. Now just have to wait for my student mentor to be assigned and for them to clear my courses.
