And then there were 3...

I got my letter of rejection from Michigan State yesterday. My SIS score was too low apparently. They will also be sending an email in the near future with further review information regarding my rejection- hopefully it will be more helpful than the self-evaluation email from CSU.

Still waiting on Minnesota (which I am sure will be a rejection), Washington and Oregon. And of course the results of the interview at ISU *fingers crossed*

I've got some sort of 'bug' so I won't be getting in any hours with the vet clinic this week and I will be in Disney World by the weekend. Bummer I won't get in any clinic hours over break- AGAIN... But that's life I guess.

Christmas was uneventful- spent all day at the doggy daycare working. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season :)

Christmas Time!

I haven't been in the Christmas spirit this year, I usually start my shopping in October and listen to a ton of Christmas music by November but not at all the case this year.. I also neglected to put up my tree and my boxes of decorations.

I did however hang the Christmas microbe ornaments my friend got me as a gift this year :)


It probably doesn't help that it isn't going to be a "white Christmas" this year. For the first time in the 15yrs I've lived in ND it will be snow-free! Presumably it will be 46 degrees on Xmas too! I couldn't be happier (I'm really not a winter person!), but I think the snow helps to get me into the Xmas spirit lol

I did finally make my traditional batch of Velveeta Fudge it sounds a little weird, but if you've never tried it I highly recommend it. If you didn't know it had 3/4 pounds of velveeta in it you would never guess there was cheese involved. It's also super quick and easy and can be made with a bowl and a microwave! It makes a great gift and you really can't screw it up. I love candy-making and really should make normal stove-top from scratch fudge but that's my mom's department lol 

No word from my other 4 schools yet. Thinking Washington and Michigan will be any day now! Also, I got B's in my Physics Lec & Lab-- I'll take that! :)

2nd Rejection

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.
