School Update

I've applied to a local university for the summer semester as a non-degree seeking student. Progress!! So if all goes well, I'll be starting in March - I think. I'm not sure exactly when. Nevertheless, I'll know in the next few weeks what my plans are.

I'm feeling much better about all this. It just feels...right. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but the feeling going into this is ten times better than i had before. :)

For some reason im in the mood for a bacon wrapped sirloin.


We havent been riding the buggy lately and it's starting to drive me nuts. It seems like they arent able to get a tech to ride with us. It's a little disheartening when I have my new certification and cant use it yet. I still am waiting for my county ID number too so that'll be a good day when it comes in the mail. I just have to wait until the paperwork goes through first. Ahh the waiting game...

Pre-req update

I backtracked a little bit and went to my alma maters website. I needed to take a peek at my transcript. I had to see what year it was when I first started taking my science courses, and of course take a look at what grades I had.. :( Scary, but I had to do it... Anyhow, I started class in 2002 and my latest (after I graduated and came back for round 2) was in 2009. I emailed a local SOM and she said courses shouldnt be older than 10 years.

10 years.

Okay, well this was only one college. (And it's probably one college that I have zero chance of getting into.) My point is this: instead of driving myself nuts and possibly doing more than I have to - or not enough, I should check the "expiration date" of pre-reqs at other colleges. I'd better get a darn good feel for the timeline I"m working with before I get started.



...IF I get started..to make things more interesting, I'm having a hard time finding evening classes. I work full time and need - NEED - to take these courses after 5pm... I think I might be back to the drawing board.
