Its been a while...
Yeah I know, I've been a neglectful LJer.
highlights of the summer:
I finished my first year of nursing school, the official count down clock is located on the upper right hand corner of my desktop and its 16 months 14 days and aprox 14 hours until I graduate. It doesn't seem like it will be that bad. I have to just take my nursing classes and one more elective which will probably be done this winter or next summer.
Michael got into UMDNJ Physician Assistant program. Its a very competitive program with 1200 applicants, 100 people interviewed and 40 accepted. It was the only program he applied to and got in, which is amazing considering his undergrad from Scotland is in film and he had only been taking classes at the local community college for about a year.
We went to Scotland to visit Michael's family in July for two weeks. They are awesome, and HUGE. We had a 4th of July BBQ and in the small back garden we had 50 people and that was just the immediate family. Some of them drove over 2 hours just to come visit. It was lovely. I have posted tons of pictures on facebook and if you're not my friend on there just add me: Marilyn Millard
Right now I'm just trying to relax before school starts in a couple of weeks and then throw myself in head on. I have a great group of friends in my class who are super supportive. I'm trying not to worry about money but of course its always on my mind. I was denied private loans without a co-signer this semester so the extra supplement I was getting wont be available. I'm going to work as much as possible without it effecting my school work and I've been looking into more scholarships. Everything will work out
