Day late and a dollar short

I’ve decided that I have taken a long enough break from higher education and that it’s time to get back to my pursuit of my Bachelor’s Degree.  I called Capella University and was told that classes started yesterday and that I would have to wait until January 7th for the winter quarter.  I asked if they could make an exception and allow me to start a day late and they said they doubted it but would check and call me back. Here’s hoping I can still get in!
