Well, my official acceptance letter came in the mail earlier this week. They send you an e-mailed copy and then the snail mail. Now, I just have to send them my seat deposit ($500) and I am officially enrolled for the Fall 2012 class.
I went to a Ross information seminar yesterday (March 3rd). They repeated a lot of the information I
already knew but also answered a lot of my questions. They had 2 graduates from the school in
attendance, as well, and they were able to give us the “non-college” answer to
lots of my questions. Best advice they
gave was, “Just roll with it.” They said, “The changes are going to be huge but
just go with it and you will have an amazing time.” Well, I can’t wait!!
After the information seminar, my mom and I decided to go “look”
for bedroom and bath items that I could need at Ross. Well, everyone should know you can’t send 2
women looking because we BUY. So, after
who knows how many hours I purchased items I need for my bed and bathroom. It was quite an adventure but I LOVE my new
stuff. I am sure the airlines are going
to look like at me like I am crazy when I try to carry on my comforter and say
it is my blanket for the plane ride.
Maybe my mom will carry the mattress pad…we will see!!
Everyone keeps commenting, can’t you buy that stuff over
there? Well, honestly I don’t know. I
figure I will try to pack as much as possible for the first 15 weeks and whatever
doesn’t fit I will come home and get over Christmas vacation. Or, if anyone is looking into going to Saint
Kitts for a vacation, let me know I will have a place for you stay in trade for
space in your suitcase. But all in all,
yesterday was an amazing day just because I got to spend it with my Mom. (PS
mom- I think it will look fine with the blue).
I said I had more lasts this week because I attended one of my
last Gamma Tau Gamma meetings for the Alpha Chi Omega Alum group. Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy is the fight
against domestic violence and locally we support Human Options is which is a
battered women’s and children shelter. For
the meeting, the board asked its members to bring in towels and women/children’s
underwear (some of the most common items that the shelter needs). Well, the generosity of so many was
outstanding of all the items that were brought in. I will have to get a picture of ALL the items
turned in. Alpha Chi’s are really
amazing women and that night just proved it once again.
For those that don’t know, my sorority was VERY special to
me during my undergraduate life at UCI. I
was very involved in all aspects of the sorority and would not trade my
memories or friendships with these sisters for anything. Many of my sisters are my best friends. These women will be the ones in my wedding (mine
will not be happening anytime soon though) and ones that will be in the delivery
room when one has a baby (don’t worry they all know I will NOT be the one
having the baby-maybe they will come help me whelp a litter). I am really hoping there is another AXO on
the island but if not I know I have hundreds of sisters waiting at home if I
ever need anything.
In addition to the “lasts,” I need to figure out my last day
at Lucilles Bar-B-Que. I have been a
waitress there for over 4 years. I have
had my ups and downs with the place but overall it was a great place to work
throughout college. The managers were
great and I love some of my co-workers so having to say goodbye is really hard. But since getting a job in a vet clinic in
October, I have been working over 65 hours a week. 65
hours a week is really burning me out and I want to “relax” some before I have
to leave for vet school. But the money I
am saving between the 2 jobs IS amazing.
I think I need to set a goal of money to set beside and then I can quit
(but it probably won’t be easy…what can I say…I am addicted to working).
I forgot to mention that I bought a soda making machine in
my shopping adventure yesterday. I am
really excited to try it out today.
Well, off to work I go!!
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone…until my next post
