Last Interview

In four days I am headed off to Philadelphia to participate in my last interview for podiatry school.  The reason I am headed to interview at Temple University is because Temple accepts the DAT and GRE, as well as the MCAT, as acceptable standardized tests.  I took the DAT last summer and got a good score on it.  I recently took the MCAT, but I do not know how I did, so I thought it would be a good idea to interview at Temple Univ. just in case I didn't do as well on the MCAT as I would like.  This is basically a backup plan, covering me just in case my MCAT test didn't go very well.  Temple isn't my first option.  From what I know, Philadelphia can be a dangerous city.  That is a bit scary because I don't want to move my family to a city where something could happen to them.  In my opinion, every city has its good and bad things, maybe Philly has just a few more.  I guess I'll see for myself on Friday!  Wish me luck.

The week that passed.

This past week has been a hectic one.  At the end of the week before last, I spent time taking a bunch of tests, then capped it all off by taking the MCAT.  This week, not to be outdone, I had to take a test and turn in over 30 pages of written reports (two research papers, a reaction paper, and a rough draft research paper).  General Conference couldn't have come at a better time.  It is/was nice to just relax and enjoy the show.  For two whole days I got to listen to the messages from apostles and prophets, and not worry too much about school, or anything else.  Some talks that stood out: both Elder Holland and President Uchtdorf spoke about not being envious and gossiping, and there seemed to be a number of talks centered on the family.  Those were the two topics that got the most airtime in my opinion.  It has been a crazy week, followed by a great conference.  Now back at it tomorrow.  Gotta love it!
