Good Golly!

Well, this last weekend was a sort of fun sort of stressful one. I had my interview at the University of Utah, for admission to their PA program. The interview was 2 days long and consisted of a test covering anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, and a little chemistry, 4 individual interviews, and 2 group interviews. There was also the obligatory financial aid talk, as well as a current student panel, and a Friday night social-luau! That was pretty fun to be able to let down the guard just a fraction in front of all the faculty...hmmm. Maybe I did not let it down at all. Not even one bit. I am somewhat relieved that the interview is over, but now I am left to await their decision. Not too much worry as they will give their decision on November 23rd, or November 24th at the latest. So only about 12 days to think about it positively. I might just wear a hole in God's ear by then! ha ha.
In other news.........Good news that is! I received a letter from Touro University in Oakland (Vallejo) CA that they have accepted me into their program and want me to send them $500 to reserve my seat. I am thankful to be accepted into any program, but am also stressed out about making this decision as I am really really really wanting to attend the U's program. Which will let me know a day or 2 before Touro's deadline on my status there. So do I give them the money and hope to lose it? Possibly. Do I not give them the money and hope I did not make a mistake by not doing it? I don't know. I do know that I will be praying pretty much nonstop until I hear from the U. I am praying even this second as I write. I hope you are too!
More good news includes 2 more interview offers. November 30 I will be in Seattle for the University of Washington, unless I get accepted to the U!!! And January 30 I amy be back in Oakland at Samuell Merritt University.
SO......................................Please do me a HUGE favor, Please? Please pray that I get accepted at the U!

Oh Yeah!

Well, well, well........................Excellent news is here! I just received an interview offer to the University of Utah's PA program! The interview is a 2 day interview, yikes, and will be November 13&14. YES! I am so excited! We celebrated with ice cream at Baskin Robbins. I also have an interview at Touro University in California, near San Fransisco, on October 27th!
We also just got back from our San Diego trip. We had so much fun. We went to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, and the Wild Animal Park. We also went for a walk along the beach at Torrey Pines, walked all over the Gaslamp District and Balboa Park, and drove over a big bridge to Coronado Island. We spent 4 nights thanks to Earl, well really my working for Earl for 10 years. I am about to get my 15 year award next month, so more vacation days! Yay

Update

This has been a good week. I made it through all my quizes at school unscathed. I guess the only downfall to this week was having to work on Labor day. Well if the name fits.......... On a more exciting note, I have received word from both the MEDEX program at the University of Washington, in Seattle, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center that they are reviewing my applications in consideration of interviews! Not any offers yet, but I am still hoping and praying and thanking God for what I am being given everyday. Especially the emails that say "You have met our requirements, and your application is being sent to the review committee." So that is where things are with school. Nothing new is going on at the Ahern house. Ben finally got his birthday present after I ordered it 6 weeks ago. HHMMMMMM Sears, what are you doing over there?
My new kitty, well she is probably 5 months old now, is turning into a love bug! She wakes me up every morning with a cuddle. She will sit on my stomach and rub her face in mine. It is so cute! Ben took Willow to the Uinta's for a 2 night camping trek. They hiked in 10 miles to the Red Castle Lakes Area. They hiked a little the day after they arrived and then just hung out and relaxed. Ben said the first evening it rained hard for almost 4 hours. CRAZY!

Here We Go!

Hello! I am writing to keep you posted on the progress of my PA school applications for the 09-10 school year. I have just submitted my secondary application to the MEDEX program at the University of Washington in Seattle. I am hoping that they like what they see, or read as it were, and offer me an interview. I think that I could do pretty well in their program, and living in Seattle for a year or so wouldn't be so bad either!

The Inaugural Blog

Hello! Some things that are going on at the Ahern home are: Ben's 29th Birthday is tomorrow, August 21, 2009! Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! I put in my application to Physician's Assistant school about 2 weeks ago, and am now working on secondary applications, so just when I thought I would have a little free time....... I am taking some "extra" courses this year at Weber State University. Some of these courses are for pre-requisite classes that were not part of my Bachelor's degree, and some I have to retake because they were too old. So I will continue to be just as busy as ever, but that is OK!
