Richmond and Wake Forest
Prologue: I just saw the "Title" box at the top of the page. That is pretty cool because I can actually title my posts and make it look all cool and formal. Not that I am formal by any stretch of the imagination. But it makes it look better. At least in my opinion.
Well the 2004-2005 application season is officially over for me. EVMS started classes last Monday and they wait one week to make sure their class is full. And Maryland... well who knows, but it is August 21 so if I was still hanging on, I should have my head examined.
So begins my down year. I don't have to study, which is a very good thing. I do have to earn some money, which kinda stinks, but this is the first year that I actually am earning some money instead of spending it. All things considered, I am not sure where I will be earning this money, but it will come.
One thing I am sure of is that I am moving to Richmond. I searched Thursday and Friday of last week to find a place and saw a couple REALLY nice places, a couple pretty cool places, and 1 horrible place. After showing Clements the pictures, we headed back to the place that was "pretty cool" and decided on that. The price was right, location wasn't bad, and it just seemed to fit. For those of you familiar with Richmond, it is about 2 blocks from Willow Lawn Shopping Center. (Just inside the city line). I move sometime next week. I haven't determined when yet as there are a lot of things that I need to put together before I leave Baltimore (again). I knew it'd be temporary move. Oh, and for those of you curious, I am living with Mike and Ian [last names omitted for privacy concerns]. It's gonna be super sweetalicous.
As for applications, as a refresher: I have submitted my primary application ("AMCAS") and am currently awaiting/working on secondary applications as they come in. I have been fortunate enough to turn the applications around in a timely manner (I spend no more than 2 days on them). Currently 9 have been turned in, 2 are in my hands, I just need to complete them, and I still have not heard from 7 schools.
And then there is 1 school left, which is Wake Forest. Apparently they are really cutting people out pre-secondary this year and I was on the unfortunate end of yet another rejection letter. The first one of this application cycle. Yeah it hurts, but again, I am used to it. I have trouble telling my parents because my mom gets so upset with the situation because she doesn't realize a lot about the process. So in telling her, she basically gets all pissy making me feel awesome. Really awesome. (please note sarcasm. heh).
But life goes on and I know there are more rejection letters coming my way. In fact, I'm happy that they rejected me before hand because that saved me from writing their essays again and sending them more money. Now I just hope that I don't get 18 more of them... 17 more would be ok, because that means I got in somewhere.
