Congratulations asscher_girl! I''m very excited for you! The most important thing is to treat this seriously even though you are studying at home. Set aside definite times of the day/hours to devote to your studies, make lots of side notes for yourself and become acquainted with your student advisor. They can be so helpful when you get stuck on subject matter or feel crunched for time. Good luck! Let us know how you''re doing!Date: 6/12/2009 10:13:34 PM

Hey PS''ers!
I''m sooooo excited! I decided to pursue my love of bling to the next level and I''m now enrolled with the GIA! My book is in the mail for my first course so hopefully I''ll start within the next week. I''m going to be doing the distance education program, however I will need to take the lab classes at one of their campuses (which will be at least a year from now).
And to celebrate(even though I didn''t really plan this timing, LOL) my little OEC arrived safely at Brain Gavin''s today to be set into a bezel pendant!
Wish me luck!

Thanks Coati! How long ago did you work on your GG? And what campus did you go to? I'm so glad Kaleigh's taking it at the same time as me, we'll be able to study togetherAre you working in the field? And if so, what are you doing? I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions
