Got the official Status change & email from Colorado State U. regretfully informing me they won't be accepting me to their CVM for Fall of 2012. Bummer.
As a not-stellar, Out-of-State, 1/1500, Non-Sponsored applicant I did not expect to get an offer from them, but since it was my top pick of my 7 applications it still sucks. I hoped that my experience, accomplishments, etc would make up for my grades at CSU since they don't base things so heavily on grades, but I guess I just wasn't unique enough to compete there, a girl can dream...
Still waiting to hear from Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and Minnesota-- and of course the final decision from Iowa in mid-February. Sounds like I will hear from Washington and Michigan potentially any day now since other out-of-staters have started to get their notifications. *fingers crossed* It just takes one... It just takes one...
What a crummy Christmas present- still hoping Santa stuffs my stocking with an acceptance letter this year haha! I'd be happy with an Alternate offer too :)
I am officially on the 2nd day of X-mas break, hoping to get some artwork done for my Senior Art Show & the Spring Gallery Opener, working quite a bit, and going to Disney World for about a week with the family-- should keep me quite busy!
Keep ya'll posted on how things are going.

And so begins the "Week of Productivity"!
Beginning today I have until the 14th off from my job at the doggy daycare. This time was originally requested off to take a road trip with my mom to Colorado to check out potential clinical sites to apply to this fall for my CLS major, and to also take a tour of CSU. This trip has fallen through, unfortunately, but I am going to seize this opportunity to be productive and get some things done I've been pushing off in my free time between shifts. I am now challenging myself to accomplish as many things in this time as possible!
Today I finally put in my air conditioner after a string of 95 degree days has crushed my basement apartment's ability to remain naturally cool. I have also continued researching the mess that is deciding between WICHE, residency, or contract for picking a vet school when you don't have one in your state- but that is a rant for another blog another day!
My present task is compiling my experience hours and accomplishments and the like from my past- quite the undertaking since my record keeping of these things has been a tad disorganized or incomplete... But looking at the outline reassures me that I can balance out my lower GPA.
Tomorrow I set out to return to my Yoga! I have done it on-and-off for the past 5 years or so (by that I mean 2-3 times in a month and then nothing for 6+ months) but this past Lent I opted to do Yoga 6 times a week instead of giving something up which is a far more challenging goal when you do this towards the end of a very busy spring semester and every minute is priceless! It went quite well, I met my goal, and I got to the point I couldn't imagine ever spending another week without a yoga practice; but then Finals week rolled around and ruined everything-as it tends to do and I was down to yoga just once a week. Then came a 10 day vacation to Maui where I still managed to do yoga 4 times, but upon my return home I jumped straight into work and good-bye yoga! I've only done one session since May, and that just won't do...
Let the games begin!
