Application Complete

The last reference came in. Hallelujah!! Now my early decision application is complete. You can't imagine the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders from this. Now I can focus on my schoolwork for the semester and only have to wait until September to find out if I got in or not.

Speaking of school, I am in for it this semester. Just when I thought I was done taking sciences, I've come to the realization that three of my four classes are science based, including one regular science class plus lab. I was really hoping to be finished with that so I wouldn't have one year without a lab. But I can handle it. I've dealt with more difficult semesters before, and this one is looking like a piece of cake. Not the same piece from this past summer, but it will still be pretty delicious.

Awhile ago I've come across a Tumblr site called #whatshouldwecallptschool. It is without a doubt the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. Here is a link to one of the posts:

There are plenty more where that came from so whenever you have the chance, browse around it and get a good laugh from it. It may seem a bit over dramatic, but at the same time, it may even be an understatement. If it's the latter, this will definitely be an interesting three years of my life.

As much as I want to continue chatting, I must depart and work on my schedule and figure everything out. Or I may just pass out for a few hours. Depends on how I feel. Since I won't have much PT information for the next month, I will add some tidbits on applying to PT school and choosing a school.

Peace, Love, and PT

Missing Reference

Seriously, there is nothing more stressing than waiting for a reference letter to get into PTCAS and the early decision deadline is tomorrow night. I sent the request form back when the application first opened. Now, I am freaking out that the letter won't get in on time and I will have to wait until regular decision. It makes me sick just thinking that I won't be able to participate in early decision. I have no one else to turn to for this since it's only about a twenty four hour notice. I haven't been this freaked out since my transcript troubles. I hate waiting until the last minute to get things done, and this isn't making me feel better. I really do not want to do regular decision and apply to a bunch of other schools and waste even more money. This is why I hate relying on other people. There's always someone who doesn't follow deadlines and apparently you can't depend on them to do a small favor. I did not want to start my semester this way. I wanted to enjoy it and not have to worry about more applications and all of this. I know I will apply to other schools if this doesn't work out, but I really don't want to wait until February or March to figure out where I'll be spending the next three years of my life. I'd rather know next month. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure. I'll be praying/freaking out until this goes through. Wish me luck.

Fall Semester

Well another semester has ended last week, and I must say, it has been my easiest semester to date. I only had to focus majority of my attention on one class. With the other class, I could have passed it sleeping. It wasn't challenging for me (seeing as it focuses on statistics and I find math easy to understand), but it was nice to get a simple class. The class that was my main focus was Physiological and Comparative Psychology. In basic terms, it focuses on neuroscience and the sensory systems. It was an interesting class, and luckily I managed to exempt the final, which resulted from me having an A in the class before the final. Gotta love classes like that.
With the application process, I am grateful that my transcript from West Georgia finally got in and that part of my application is completed. The only thing that I'm waiting on is one more letter of recommendation. With the early decision deadline coming up on Wednesday, I don't have much time. I would love for it to be in this weekend so I can focus on my classes on Monday.
Speaking of classes, I have a crazy semester coming up. I will be taking Biology II plus Lab, Applied Exercise Physiology, Sign Language II, and Cognitive Neuroscience. I started working again at the dining hall yesterday and I will be going there every weekday morning and every other Sunday morning. On top of that, I am still volunteering at one of the hospitals that I did this summer. It is going to be a quick fall for me with everything going on and it will be interesting to see what will happen.
