Last Wednesday I was really stressed out because I had a test the next day that I was totally and completely NOT prepared to take and I had to be ready to take it by 11 am the next day. I was so overwhelmed in fact that I was basically begging my mom to let me quit even though I knew I didn't want to. So finally after talking to my mom and then my dad and also to my good friend Jordan, I finally got my emotions under control, buckled down and studied my butt off for the test the next day.
The next day I took my test, which I didn't do amazing on but I did ok, then I went to the advising office and changed my emphasis to something that would fit my career choice better. But I wasn't sure if that was really the only thing I should do... I was kind of feeling like there was more for me to do. So I talked to my mom about it... and we started looking for schools that had a physical therapy program that I could switch into later on... but the next day I was still feeling like it wasn't enough... so mom and I started looking into other schools too... and I don't remeber exactly when or how it happened but I decided that I wanted to go to a school with a physical therapist assistant program. I decided that it would be a great idea because in 2 years I could be working as a physical therapist assistant and go to school to become a physical therapist at the same time which would be really nice because not only would I be getting some great experience, but I would also be able to at least partly pay my way through school which would be great because then I wouldn't have so many loans!
So starting Monday I filled out 4 applications to colleges in Washington: Whatcom, Green River, Olympic, and Spokane Falls. By the next day I had received an acceptance letter from Olympic, and on Wednesday I received 2 more! One from Green River and one from Spokane Falls.
Then Thursday I decided to go ahead and send an application into Mt. Hood because I figured even if I couldn't get into their physical therapist assistant program this year I could at least take a few classes there that would help me out with it.
Oh and I totally forgot! I think it was Monday that I decided that I wanted to get my associates here before I transferred so I went into the advising office to ask them how much more I had to do to get it and I found out after creating a cluster that I only had 2 more classes to take! YAY!!! So when I transfer I will have an associates here which means my credits will transfer better!
Oh yeah and I also had a test on Tuesday which surprisingly I felt I did really well on and I found out just now that I did much better than the last one!
So yes this week has been a hectic but a really great one!
