Extra Credit: Option #4

My major is business/accounting:
-There are many GE courses I need to take such as A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3, area E, F1, F2, and F3. Although this list seems overwhelming, I am trying to take courses that will knock down more than one area. I am currently taking an Asian American studies class, and it knocks down area F1-2-3 and D2-3.
There are also some accounting requirements such as Bus120A, Bus121A, Bus121B, and Bus122b. I am going to try to finish these courses by the end of my 2nd year.

-I plan to pass the WST as soon as possible. English is my worst subject. I am currently in remedial English, so I am trying to pass that as quick as possible to get into 1A. I will take the WST after I successfully pass English 1B.
Classes I cannot take unless I pass the WST: Self & Society (Phil 186), Earth & Environment, Culture & Civilization, and Written Communication ll (100W).

-Prerequisites for Accounting: Bus120A, Bus120B, Bus120C, Bus120D, Bus121A, Bus122A, 100W, and, Bus123A. I am going to try to take these classes as soon as possible. Hopefully, the start of my 2nd year.

-The required courses for my major are similar to the prerequisites list. The requirements include, Bus120, Bus121A, Bus121B, and Bus123A.

-I think parties or events that my friends will invite me to will distract me from my studies. So in order to prevent this from happening, I will make sure to inform then soon that I will be busy and I do not want to be distracted by going out too much. I want to be focused and work hard to become a successful accountant.

-Unfortunately, taking a remedial course will prevent me from graduating on time. My initial plan was to graduate within four years, but because of this class, I think I will receive my degree within five or six years. Hopefully, just five.

-This exercise actually helped and benefited me a lot. Now I have a clearer understanding about my major and career path. This is like my planner now, and I am hoping to finish all my prerequisites and required courses as soon as possible so I can start my career!

BTW, I think your remedial English class must be paying off. This is a well written piece.
