What you've said about online vs. face-to-face communication does make a lot of sense-I don't see my cousin very often, so I guess it's easier to be friendly when there's less pressure to appear a certain way.

Sorry I was so confusing about the transfer credit! It's probably most worthwhile to just get the psych elective credit because there's really no loss if I don't need it in the end. Thanks for all of your advice; I hope Sue and Mikey are doing better.
