101 update...

#1 - one of the most important (and most talked about) on the list has been completed. (yay!) here's the recap. january/february - i had applied to 6 genetic counseling programs (uncg, uw-madison, university of s. carolina, vcu, wayne state, university of colorado). march/april - i interviewed at 3 schools (wayne state, uw-madison, and uncg)...the other 3 apparently didn't think i looked good on paper...whatever. may 2nd (match day or whatever they call it...i called it black friday...) - i received a call from all 3 schools (they call you whether they want you or not). i was accepted to wayne state, uncg, and waitlisted at uw-madison. so it was a fantastic day. i accepted at uncg (of course...in-state tuition, fabulous weather, clinical rotations will be at duke, unc, and wake forest, and the boy only lives an hour and a half away)...i never did find out if i would have been accepted at uw-madison. i was told i was high on the list and they were waiting to hear from one other person in order to offer me a spot...but i declined my waitlist spot after accepting at uncg.

and so, i'll be starting the program this fall...classes start august 25th. my class (class of 2010...) consists of 7 other girls...and thankfully one of them i'm close in age with. i thought for sure i was going to be the only "old" one in the class. phew ;) i'll be moving to greensboro in early august.

#10 - i swam in the ocean. again, i suppose. it wasn't the first time...i just wanted it on the list anyway. christian and i swam in the ocean while on vacation in hawaii (04.17.08 - 04.21.08). i want to go back. now.

#11 - i'm in the process of volunteering for the special olympics north carolina. i'll be one of the co-vounteer managers for athletics (track & field) at the summer games (06.07.08 - 06.08.08) and housing manager and volunteer manager for one of the bowling houses for the midsummer tournament (07.18.08 - 07.20.08). should be fun. if you're in the area and would like to help out, let me know.

#13 - i got a pedicure before going to hawaii. again, not the first one i've ever had...but i wanted it on the list because it's not something i normally do.

#28 - i travelled outside of the continental us...to hawaii. but we all know that already.

#32 - i went to a concert - kokua festival (in hawaii). go jimmy go, mason jennings, paula fuga, dave matthews & tim reynolds, and jack johnson. it was amazing. beautiful sunshiny weather, a rainbow, a cute boy, and incredible music.

#72 - christian and i went snorkeling at hanauma bay. i wasn't going to leave until we saw a sea turtle. we saw a turtle. :)

#96 - i went to hawaii...state i had never been to. i want to go back. now.

#99 - christian and i are planning on going fishing this weekend in sanford...since i don't have to stay in chapel hill and check for pregnant mice.

only 734 more days left...
