Things are looking up...

FINALLY!!! Someone somewhere was pulling for me, 'cause something I planned for actually went right, without a single problem! It's official: I'm going to UWEC for classes 2nd semester. I got my acceptance letter today, and by 4:30 was all signed up for every class I wanted, at the times I wanted. It also turns out that their microbiology course, compared to Luther's 4 credit, 2-lab course, is only 3 credits without a lab. I'm assuming it has to be a ton easier than here, and what's even better is that I don't have to deal with the evil troll that is Dr. Enos. I'll have a total of 13 credits that included Nutrition, Intro to Sociology, Microbiology, and Anatomy & Physiology. The last one is gonna be the toughest, and I know I can do really well in it :o) OH HAPPY DAY!!! My mom admitted to me on the phone that she didn't think I could actually pull it off. I gave her a "tsk tsk" for not having faith in me and then proceeded to make her happy by telling her I don't have to buy books; we rent them. This means no more buying $300 worth of books only to return them at the end of the year for a total of $50.

I will miss my closest friends here terribly. They've been great friends during this semester and it's been really good getting to know them better. I'll make sure to come back and visit next semester when I can. I doubt my classes will be what hold me back from coming down.

On that note, I'm going to knock on wood and pray my DAT goes well on Thursday. I've lost the will to study, but have become increasingly nervous as the date draws near. I'll crack open the biology section tonight before bed and read through that as much as possible before I fall asleep on the book.
