No more updates anticipated. 

I am a home schooled student and have completed half my Senior year of high school, recived my GED, and will be attending Cottey College starting August 2004.  Durring my college quest I have gathered information and ideas, and rather than leaving them forever stored on disks, to nobody's use other than my own, I have decided to create a web site.  I do not promise that this site will contain everything you will need to know about college but the information I will put here could be helpful to you.  So, have fun, check out the pages, and if you feel the need you can contact me at the adress at the bottom of the page.
