Hi,
This is my first semester of college for fall.
Class begins on august 26th.
I just got off the phone with a person from the Office of Disability 
services department and they said that they would need more information as 
to  how long the training program is and what days I would be leaving and 
returning.
I had told them that it I would be leaving on Sunday and returning on 
Sunday.
I've made my guide dog school choice.
I'm going to be going to either one of the schools out in California.
I'm actually going to be out there in June.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

Is your class just ending at the beginning of Augus and after school starts, 
or is the whole course during the first of school. Is this your first 
semester at the school? I am not sure I would be doing this. Try to see if 
there is a way to get into the school earlier; if not, I would advise 
waiting. Of course, talk to the instructor, but it is hellish starting out 
behind in school.
