No news is still news.

Since I do have officially two followers (and I know my friends are eagerly checking for updates...right????) I thought I'd pop in to let ya'll know I don't really have any news...yes, the news today is that I have no news. Wow..that's really lame. Anyway, I am still waiting to hear from Sac State and three ADN programs. I was hoping Sac State would notify me mid-month, but now it seems like all the info on tier website says it will be late November. It is making me crazy!!!!! I must have checked me email five times today while I was at school. How, exactly, do you spell "obsessed?"

And, the really icky thing is that my back-up plan (the Accelerated Second Bachelor's program) requires me to take the GRE prior to Dec. 1st and the latest date I could snag was November 26th..which means I may have to take it even if I don't know if I need to yet. Can you say blech? I mean, have you seen some of those vocabulary words? What the heck does encomium or recidivism mean? I guess I need to find out. Oh brother.

As for my current classes, I killed, and I mean KILLED, my last chemistry exam. Anthropology is fine...a piece of cake...and I currently have a 92% in stats. I am stressed about hanging on to that A...for some reason math always freaks me out and stats is so weird that who knows what could happen. For example, here is a typical question...tell me if this makes your brain bleed:

"Marc Taylor plans to place 200 bets of $1 each on the number 7 at roulette. A win pays off with odds of 35:1 and, on any one spin, there is a probablity of 1/38 that 7 will be the winning number. Among the 200 bets, what is the mininum number of wins needed for Marc to make a profit?"

Oy vey. The sad thing is I could probably figure this out...I. Just. Don't. Want. To. Soooooo ready for this semester to be over!

Thanks for checking in folks...I'll touch base when I actually have some news that's actually newsy type news.

Rejection #1

Well, I got my first rejection out of the way. I heard from the Sutter program that they will not be requiring my presence next semester. It was my 2nd choice, so I was somewhat bummed, but Sac State is far and away my first choice. I should hear from them in as little as two weeks!!! I could just throw up thinking about it.

In other news, I have turned a corner in chemistry. I scored a 98% on the last exam and realized right after I left the classroom that I got one of them wrong...so in my heart I got a 100! So, if any of my pals have wondered what I've been up to lately...it's obvious! Studying chemistry!

It seems like I had something else to say about nursing school admissions and whatnot, but I can't think of it right now. Guess my brain is full of things like aldehydes and amino acids.

Peace!
