Not Bad!

Almost a record! Seven months since my last update, and I was going to be soooo much better this year. Not!

Ok, update......I've gone back to school. What a process. I have had to retest as your SAT scores are only good for 5 years after you take them (who knew?). English and writing portion, no problem, but Math???? Who could still do Algebra after twenty five years? Definitely not me! So, off to Math 070 I go. Then there was the HOBET test. This test determines if I have the "inclination" for the medical field. No problem there, and I even scored well on the math portion (although the advanced Algebra was absent from this one). After I gathered all my transcripts, my volunteer/assistant veterinary information, and every other piece of paper I never thought I'd need again, I submitted it all to the Veterinary School at Gaston College. I then got called for an interview. An interview! Good grief! I went, and it was great. The Department Head and instructor were personable, and I didn't feel intimidated at all (after testing with all the "kids", I had some doubts). They only take 40 students per year. So I waited, and yes, I made it! A few months later, and I am shouldering 17 credit hours (this includes the dreaded Math 070). It's a heavy load, but I'm making it work, just don't call me from 7:30 pm. - 11:00 p.m. weeknights and most evenings on the weekend. Just kidding, I'll answer, but I can't guarantee that I'll make any sense. Six straight semesters, including summers, and I should be a Registered Veterinary Technician. Here's hoping!
