Well, the ducks are continuing to line up for now... I will be finishing up my first semester of Anatomy&Physiology in a few weeks, and I should also finish my on-line psychology class by mid-December. Today (yesterday) I registered for A&P II, which I will take this Spring at ASU, and that should complete the prerequisites I need for grad school (Prosthetics and Orthotics) at Georgia Tech. Per the department there, I should hear something in February.
For those who are not familiar, I applied for admission last year and was not accepted. This led to a very sloppy cry and much despair at the thought of remaining here (at the nuke plant) for another year. After all that, I visited the department at GT and very calmly discussed with them my desire to attend. They basically said to take the aforementioned classes and re-apply, and that I should not have any problem getting in. So that is what I did, and here I am at the nuke plant in the middle of the night, praying that I will get into school and out of here as fast as possible.
As usual, with hindsight, I can see the good providence of not getting in last year. For instance, I was not ready to sell my house, I didn't have enough money saved up for tuition/living, I was not mentally prepared to leave Augusta yet, I have very much needed my good medical insurance this year, and the list goes on. With that said, if I don't get in this year, despite being led to believe that I will, I have to trust that it will be a good thing. I'm not sure what I will do, but I will cross that bridge if and when I need to.
