ITS THAT SUMMA SUMMA TIME!
(for the record)
So officially i got done with school on thursday after my psychopathology exam. Tuesday, i had stats, wednesday i had physio lecture and theology and thursday obviously psychopathology. (My other two finals were the previous week).
This is some pretty exciting news im about to spill...i don't need to take that summer class after all :) It turns out that all of my hard work and dedication paid off. Let me explain the situation so you better understand it...
Currently i am a biology major. At gannon there is a physician assistant program i have been wanting to get into for a year now, it's extremely hard to transfer into. They have something called a "program matrix" and you are required to mantain a "program" GPA and an overall GPA. The "program" GPA is based off soley the science classes and the PA classes. However, since i am not a PA (and they have REALLY easy classes) i have no buffer classes to cushion the program GPA. Before this semester my "program" GPA was a 2.94. In order to get it up to the required 3.0 i had to get either an A in physio lecture and a B+ in physio lab, or a A in physio lab and a B+ in physio lecture. I wouldn't have needed to try so hard for these grades if i wouldn't have messed up freshman year mollecular/cellular biology, when i got a C. That is why if i didn't get the grades i needed i would retake that class this summer to get the program GPA raised (because if i don't get in the PA program by the fall there is a slim to none chance i will get in the program at all). ANYWAYS. I found out i got the A in physio lab (which is 1 credit) i was SOOOO stoked because that meant i might not have to take the summer course. Well, i ended up getting an A on my physiology lecture final, bringing my physio lecture grade to a B+ meaning my program GPA is EXACTLY a 3.0. AHHH SO EXCITING! So basically i have to email the program PA director when ALL of my finals come in (i'm waiting on 2 still) and then she will go with me from there.
My dreams are coming true right before my eyes, it's so strange and exciting to watch.
I need to get more sleep. Lately i have been so bad with the whole sleep thing. It's because my sleep patterns are all messed up from staying up so late in school to study for finals week.
ALSO, happy mothers day to all of you moms out there :) lately everyone seems to be having babies. Im not saying it's a bad thing im just simply saying im seeing alot of babies!
I should be starting work in another week or two. I'm SUPER excited for memorial day weekend aka camp mad-dogs. That will be SO relaxing... I've rented books from the library i plan on reading. I got back into my reading groove i missed it so much!
My eyes are closeing now so...goodnight!!
