Welcome to Feathers in My Hair, a teen mom deep dive podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bentley.

Hey, everyone. Hi, good morning. Well, you know, who knows when you're listening to this. For me,

it's Saturday morning. I'm back on my scheduled grind. I told you guys last

week, I was like all out of whack recording so late on Saturday. But life is back to normal.

After a week and a half of winter break, my winter semester starts on Monday. I, because I have to take a certain amount of electives and there are two

classes in my program that you can test out of. And I did not test out of either of them. One is

like statistics and research and I literally opened the test and two questions. Then I just

Xed out because I was like, I don't know any of this. I did take a

class on it in undergrad, but I think in 2011. I took this class a long fucking time ago. And the other

one was human development, which actually you needed an 80 to test out of the class when I got like a 74.

So, which by the way, somebody later told me that

all of those questions for both classes were on Quizlet. And I was like, that's, okay, that's kind of

annoying. But I am actually glad I didn't test out a human development because I really did

learn a lot. And there's no way I could cheat myself out of, like, the statistics and research

because I clearly don't know any of it. So that means that basically it's for people who are, like,

coming out of undergrad with their BSWs. It's, like, easier to test out of that stuff because I don't

have a BSW and I was in undergrad so long ago. None of that stuff is fresh. So I have to take electives,

like in the off season, if you will, like my one school friend, because I essentially only

have one school friend because I reached out to her after I realized we were in all three classes

together. And I was like, hi, can we be friends? Because I don't go to school in person. So I don't

really know anybody.

But she's taking an elective in the spring when I'm in like one of my required courses.
