<p>Haha :slight_smile: Yea I took alot, but my school offers alot, and I was able to get some through online classes as well. Of course, I don’t know what Williams was thinking! (sarcastic) :smiley: I’m just glad it wasn’t an outright rejection, but thanks for the comments. Maybe i’ll do better on MArch 31st, maybe.</p>
