So I've officially been accepted to Western's Communication Sciences and Disorders Post-Bac program. I'll spend one more year as an undergrad getting a 2nd bachelor's, and then (hopefully) 2 years in their master's program to eventually become a speech language pathologist.
I was able to hang out w/ Doug this weekend (well, Thurs/Fri) and I think we're finally going to be roomies. It's almost surreal, because I feel like this is 4 years in the making. I remember the "crew" discussing college in the news room and Mike D and Doug talking about WWU, knowing I was probably going to UW. I can't say I have any regrets, but this will be the realization of something I've thought about for a long time.
Allbeit most of my visits to Bellingham have been under the pretense of a celebration/social occasion, I just feel better up there. I'm burnt out on the UKC, and I'd appreciate the change of scenery. Of course it's the area, not the people, that I'm sick of, and I'm not going anywhere until September, but I'm still excited about a new prospect.
The kicker is that I must have an amazing first quarter to be eligible for their grad program. Because I'll be applying right away, I pretty much have to prove myself fall quarter.
