don't fret my pet...

that's what my mom said to me when i was worried about getting interviews for the genetic counseling programs. she's so weird ;) i think she got it from her sister, my pretty aunt gail (which isn't implying that i have an ugly aunt gail...just emphasizing the fact that i have pretty aunts...really just an all around beautiful family...i'm not being conceited, it's just the truth...haha!)...ok, anyway, what i'm getting at is that i shouldn't have been fretting. it's not march yet, but i heard from uncg yesterday...and have an interview scheduled for march 29th. woohoo!

and so, i'm back to waiting for word from the last 3 schools...

it's mai tai thursday at the beach...

a step closer to #1...

i've finished all applications to school...and i've been waiting...very patiently. i ran into a few problems with gre scores and transcripts and paper applications (yeah, that's right...i applied somewhere that supposedly only had a paper application...that's another story...)...but it has all been straightened out. or at least i think everything's straightened out...

i received an email from uncg about a month ago stating that they have received all of my application materials and will be contacting me in early march...letting me know whether or not they would like to interview me. their interview dates are march 28, march 29, april 4, april 5. and so i wait.

i figured since uncg had the earliest application deadline, i wouldn't hear from any of the other schools until early march either. however, i have already heard from both uw-madison and wayne state. i'll be interviewing at wayne state on march 21...and wisconsin april 7-8. (yay!) chris is excited that i could potentially be a badger...i believe he has already found me a place to live there...lol.

in other news...
dad's doing well...although he's not really moving around much yet...

mom's addicted to freecell. haha.

chris had to leave on a spontaneous trip to "the beach." i got an email from him today...he's doing well. they went out on a friends boat today...apparently it was margarita tuesday at the bar on the sand bar just off the shore. they're planning to go fishing tomorrow for trophy marlin...but of course that all depends on the weather. ;)
