Thanks everyone for the support!
OK, I'm doing the best possible course for someone in my position. I can't get a student loan so this was right up my alley.

I only put down what I could afford at the time, which was $10! I pay $39.00 a month and move at my own pace.
I just got my first book with assignments today and I can't wait to get started!!
I will be sure to keep everyone posted on how things are progressing!
