The last step I needed to take to be enrolled at ITT was a test. It's called the accuplacer. Now this wasn't a pass/fail test, but you could pass or fail it...Good news is that I passed!! The only part I didn't do to hot on was the math (which has always been my best subject) but all is well I will just have to take some tutorials. So I have orientation on Saturday and then start lorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14259699169915455120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122606.post-1116004504089651952005-05-13T12:08:00.000-05:002005-05-13T12:15:04.090-05:00HIP, HIP, HURRAY!!!!My "adopted" family is coming in to town!!!
