Actually, I would recommend not taking any classes during that “Wintermester” time. If you can, devote that time completely to your family and rest for yourself. Then, when the semester begins, you can hit the books at a solid, steady pace. A fluff class, like English, may not be a bad idea. Just don’t burn yourself out if you have the chance to rest.
Ok, so I have to say I love Texas. Not a native, but got here as fast as I could.
Anyway, I just found out about the Texas fresh start program. I am thinking that would be a great thing for me to do. Since my credits are from 20 years ago, and the whopping 1.14 GPA, it would certainly be easier to start “fresh” than to raise those grades up. And considering I was going to re-take all those classes anyway. I can’t seem to find any downside.
I did see the one thread on here mentioning it, but that was from 2008 and I didn’t want to revive that thread.
Thoughts?
