Progress!

I cannot explain exactly HOW excited I am to start school! My American Studies teacher Erica sent this in an email yesterday, about her reccomending me to attend the University of New Hampshire (I've ALWAYS dreamed of going to UNH).

"Of COURSE I will recommend you. Wholeheartedly! Enthusiastically!"

That was the first email, I absolutely beamed! I sent her my resume that I made up and she sent this back...

" To be honest, I wrote a recommendation for you when you were in my American Studies class. I went back to that, cleaned it up, and informed admissions that you are one thousand times better than any student currently enrolled at UNH."

STILL BEAMING FROM THIS! I adore her, she is an awesome teacher! I actually won an award in her American Studies class, I had a solid A in her class :D

In other news... I emailed my two high school teachers that I sent evaluation forms to, Mrs. Hippern (Health) and Mrs. Stone (Geometry) asking if they had received my eval forms... Mrs. Hippern shipped her's off to UNH yesterday and Mrs. Stone said she would work on it this weekend :)

I need to get to my highschool to fill out some paperwork about requesting an official transcript and pay a dollar. I think I will do that tomorrow since its supposed to be a little warmer. That way my awesome guidance counselor from High School Mrs. Humphrey can fill out my forms and write a recommendation for me.

I also need to get a letter out to Mr. Little who taught my independent study in English 11 and pushed for me to take AP English 12. He has a lot of faith in me, and I'm glad he does :) So yeah, I need to get an eval form out to him to fill out. Still waiting to hear back from Dan Gordon (Upward Bound director) about my recommendation, but he has an in with UNH, so I'm sure he's on top of it :)

In current college news... I start in 5 days! I will be taking English, ethics, the Human Body and the Human Body lab. yesterday, my Human Body professor put a welcome message on blackboard for us and to explain how class will work. OMG, I am so excited! I picked up my books for my classes on tuesday annnnnnd... GOT A NEW LAPTOP! Our computer died last week and so my husband applied for a Best Buy card and we got a laptop for me :)

I'm in a state of Euphoria, I truley am. I need to get over this hurdle and get into UNH. After that, I can attend my "freshman" year and apply to transfer into their Nursing program. And I will be a graduate of the class of 2014!!!! Which sounds awful because I have friends who graduate THIS year :-/ But oh well :)
