I do have to say that this week has been very eventful. From the birth of the newest nephew to getting accepted to UVU's Dental Hygiene program 2011. I received a rejection letter from Weber, which was disappointing but kind of expected. They do accept 30 students a year and that's 16 more than UVU, but Weber had the essay which was the main factor and the one I worried about the most.
UVU though, it was a numbers game with them. They give points based on your grades and scores of Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, your ACT, and the HOAT (health occupations aptitude test). Well I got an A in Anatomy and Physio. My ACT was a 27, which was better. I did extremely well on the Hoat and my only concern was my B+ in Chem. So I felt pretty good until I realize that they do only accept 14 students a year and what if someone beat me into the program by a couple points. Oye! The only comfort I had for being accepted was that their response didn't come at the same time my rejection letter came last year, which was the beginning of March. The anticipation was killing me and I just wanted to know.
Now, I'm just excited to start my journey, mainly so I can finish, and finally accomplish something that I've been dreaming/planning to do for a while. I now have that opportunity.
Thank you UVU-DH!

where does time go?
So I just realized I posted nothing about or in February. Which I think is strange. Only because my applications were due. Feb 1 for Weber State and Feb 11 for UVU. I remember thinking that March would never come and yet, here it is. The time did go slow and still is since I don't know the verdict, but yet I can't believe how fast the year is going. My sister is having her check-up this morning. She has two weeks until her due date, but we're hoping little "Peanut" gets here soon.
I think I was so caught up in February with so many things. Oh, I don't think I ever announced this... I am going to coach 4th-6th grade girls lacrosse. It's the Thunder team under Bingham Girls Lacrosse. I should be starting practices soon and since I'm new to this whole "coaching" thing, I feel like I have no clue what's going on. I love LAX and I've always wanted to coach so when I saw this opportunity I wanted to take it. It did help me get a discount to the South Jordan Fitness & Aquatic Center. I'm really excited about that, now I just need to use it a little more. :}
We also switched things up in YW so now I teach every Sunday, except for Fast Sunday. So I was always preparing lessons. I hope these girls get what Heavenly Father needs them to and I hope I am being an effective instrument in His hands. Luckily for the next couple months bc of Stake and General conference and Easter sunday, my teaching load will be a little lighter. :)
Oh the other thing I did in Feb was go to a Stake Zumba night every Thursday. I really wanted to take that opportunity since I didn't have to pay for each class or a real gym membership to participate. And since there was good participation and everyone who went enjoyed it-they extended it through March. I'm excited and bummed. I had quit volunteering at the JR temple on Thursdays and so I want to go back Thursdays to visit with my sisters. So doing Zumba in Feb I missed that, even though I got some well needed exercise. I want to go to Ward Temple night this Thursday and the following Thursday is Stake Temple night. So sorry Zumba, back burner bc I can't put this off anymore.
It's so hard when you have options and decisions. Why do we have to grow up?

hopeful
So I looked at my "rejection" letter from UVU last year and they typed up the info at the end of the first week of March and I got the letter the following week. A friend of mine who is currently in the Dental Hygiene program up at Weber was notified she got in at the end of the first week of March. So I'm hopeful that I'll know within the next week and a half if I've been accepted somewhere, anywhere.
