I currently have 31 hours, and I'll have 41 at the end of this semester. Whatever that makes me... :)
I'm in early enrollment. Which is kind of a double-edged sword... early enrollment students can't get scholarships for some strange reason. When I asked the counselor at the college why, she said (now see if you think this is logical, because I sure don't) that high schools are becoming impoverished institutions, and therefore we shouldn't encourage them to leave the schools. Now, the problem with this argument is that (a) not more than 5 or 10 students per high school will go to college per year, out of, what, a thousand or so? And (b) If high schools are becoming impoverished institutions, it's not the parent's or student's fault, it's the fault of the legislature or whatever body is over school funding.
Now I'm going to make an appointment with her, find the section of the US Law Code that deals with discrimination, and go wave it in her face. Muahahaha. :)

Pardon me, but that's really a hot-button issue for me. :)
