I'm totally slacking on blogging. I kept thinking that there wasn't much to blog about, but in reality, so much has happened.
I was officially rejected to ODU about 3 days after my last post. It didn't hurt my feelings nearly as much as the Radford rejection, surprisingly. I think secretly I was hoping I would get rejected so that I wouldn't have to make a choice between the two, because making the choice to leave home (when I would have had the option to stay) would have been hard. Also, I heard ODU only took 5 non-majors, and all of them had stellar GPAs, so yeah. Not too surprised.
I decided to go ahead and go with option 2 from my last post. The extra year is kind of a bummer, but I'm hoping to really master all the concepts. Here's to hoping it'll work out better for me in the end!
In the fall I will be taking Intro to Audiology, A&P for Speech/Hearing, Neurology of Human Comm, and Survey of Exceptional Children. Classes start in about 5 weeks and I am SO excited. I've ordered 2 of the books so far and I am waiting for some extra cash to order the other two. I'm buying all of my books, rather than renting, so that I can start my professional library.
I move in about 4 weeks. I JUST secured an apartment this past week, and I was lucky enough to find a roommate after somehow missing the roommate connection email or whatever. Its been interesting trying to gather everything I need to move, but luckily my family has helped out quite a bit. My apartment is GORGEOUS and the complex has a lot of cool stuff, so I can't wait. Also, this is my first time living without family, so that is pretty exciting (and terrifying?) as well.
Money has been something that I am struggling with. I can find a part time job this first (prereq) year, but I keep thinking about the two years after that. Taking out so much in loans makes me nervous.....Gotta do whatcha gotta do right?'
This is a terrible blog post but I feel like I'm more up to date now...maybe the next ones will be in more detail. :)
