Thank you Ranger Bugsy for squaring me away, my parents said the same thing and I realize now that he was just intimidating me.If the counselor cant give me what I want than I will wait till he can.If I need 15 hours of college credit I'll get it and I will get that Option 40.

I have been searching around and I was unaware that passing the AIM would make me elegible for Option 40.I hope the ...

Bodybuilding.com is one of the cheapest for supplements, as for the dumbbells those seem nice and there are different brands available aswell.My uncle has the Power Block ones and you can get a pair of up to 130lbs each.The handle is inside so they are kinda akward but another alternative.
