The Scratching Post

Name:

I'm the wife of a biology grad student working on figuring out where the heck I'm going in life, somewhere between falling on my ass and a "tada" moment right now...

the times, they are a'changin'

I don't know if anyone even still reads this, nor do I really care. I need a place to vent and I'm turning to my long lost blog.
Actually it's not really venting, more of an update:
Although extremely stressed, I am happy.
I work in an upscale bridal salon in one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Boston. I've got a husband who, although he has a mild addiction to video games, is a good husband and I love him very much. I go to school at one of the top dental hygiene schools in the country and am sitting on the Dean's List for the second semester in a row out of the 2 semesters I've done there so far. I moved to a great place in an even better neighborhood than the "Creepy old landlady upstairs is always watching us" apartment was. I am applying to dental schools for the third time in four years, and I just found out that they officially were sent to the schools yesterday.

*GULP*

At the end of this process, I will be one of two cliches: 3rd time's the charm, or 3 strikes I'm out. I hope it's the former and not the latter, but I'm not getting my hopes up too far this time. This allows me to be indifferent if I get 6 rejection letters again, and stunned/really really excited if I get accepted. I have more good points under my belt this round, so I've got some things going for me this time that makes me a different and better applicant than the first couple of attempts. I just hope the admissions boards will see things the same way...
