[nagdu] guide dog school problem

[Julie J via nagdu]

 I'm just a little confused.  Leader isn't in California.  Perhaps you meant Guide Dogs of America?  You had mentioned them before.  Have you been accepted and given a class date then?

So far as I know you don't really get to pick when exactly you go into class.  You tell them when you have available, then they offer you a date and you can take it or leave it.  I don't think it's like making reservations at a restaurant.

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.
