 Hello, fellow Billie lovers. Before I get on to answering the application questions, I need to make a few things clear- I may not be too active because of problems of my own (rather not say), and I hope you can excuse this problem. Thanks for your patience- and here's your interview Q&A.

                              application questions

What do you go by?

I go by ‘Grace’.

What are your pronouns?

My pronouns are ‘she’, ‘her’, etc.

What is your timezone?

My time zone is usually EST, but because I’m on summer vacation, the time is increased by 12 hours. I’m coming back to America on 7/30.

How active are you? (send ss) (Recommended to have 100+ minutes of activity)

If you read the notice written above, you’ll know I’m not too active, but I try to fit in my time whenever I can.

Why do you want to be a News Team Editor?

I want to be a News Team Editor because writing blogs, news, guidelines, ans other stuff is my ion. Since I failed the News Team application, when I saw that a new position was out for the same team, I really wanted to . I figured this would be a good time to practice my grammar and edit a blog about a subject I really liked. I'd really be happy if you accepted me into this group.

Do you have any group experience?

Yes, I have a lot of group experience. I used to write and edit handbooks, guidelines, and other stuff for groups.

In order to cut costs, the Texas State University System has an idea for future students busy with families and jobs: don’t even show up on campus during freshman year.

Starting next fall, the school currently plans to encourage non-traditional students to take free MOOCs, before he or she arrives on campus. If ten of the courses are taken and ed for college credit, students could show up at school with years of work complete before paying a single tuition bill.

“We want as many tools for students as we can give, ” exclaimed Texas State University System Chancellor Brian McCall at a press conference on September 9, 2015. We thought this was a particularly good one for older, busy, driven, and disciplined students.”

The Texas State System has set many expectations for the program. Mccall said he has no idea how many will sign up or actually receive credit, but he’s thrilled to give students the opportunity.
