| Acceptance!I will be moving to Cincinnati, Ohio in September!! I found out a few weeks ago that I will be a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati, in the genetic counseling program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Centerr.
Wow.  | | |
| MushaboomHelping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh
But in the meantime we've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay... | | |
| Weekend UpdateWhat's New:
I just started a new job working in public health, four days a week. So far I like it although learning so many new things all at once is a bit of a challenge!
I will most likely have an interview on Wednesday for a part-time biotech job in addition to the one at public health. The experience would be great, and the money wouldn't hurt either. I figure right now might be the only time in my life where I don't have a trillion obligations and I'm able to work 45-55 hours/week.
I start volunteering at the hospital in two weeks, in the NICU.
Jim (my brother) is coming to live with me in two weeks (for six weeks) for his nursing internship at the hospital.
Applications for graduate school are getting in slowly -- I've been slacking and I need to pick up the pace. I have three due on January 15th, two due on February 1st, and one due March 1st. I'd really like to get them all in ASAP though because I'm sick of working on them!
Also, I'm in the works of being an entrepreneur and selling the sugar scrubs that I've been making for the past few months. If anyone wants one, let me know! I'm thinking they'll be in the $14-16 range for 16 ounces. Perhaps once I get my packaging finalized, I'll post a picture on Xanga for anyone interested.

| Things are finally looking up and getting BUSY!
In addition to studying for the GRE, I'm now job shadowing (Monday), interviewing (Tuesday), and doing some temporary work for a couple days (Thursday & Friday)! Scary!! Jon's parents are coming to visit this weekend, and my parents are coming to visit the weekend after.
I think I'm going to take the GRE on Halloween... | | |
| I got my diploma in the mail! I actually graduated! 
Now if only job offers would come pouring in... Seriously. You'd think that with Fargo being the size it is, there would be *some* sort of science jobs somewhere in the area!!
Today was my first official day of studying for the GRE. I did a preliminary practice test today and didn't score very well. It's been quite a long time since I've had to remember algebra and geometry concepts... and I didn't do very well on the English section either! This could prove to be a struggle. I think all the science classes may have done more harm than good when it comes to my well-roundedness.
Due to my lackluster GPA, I need to do extremely well on the GRE in order to have any sort of hope to getting into graduate school. It's high enough to apply, but not as high as the average GPA they admit.
On an unrelated note, I'm thinking about chopping most of my hair off and donating it. Or not. But the internet tells me that super-long hair is "unprofessional", so, we'll see.
