I'm gonna be a REAL Texas Woman!

It's official, I am going to be attending TWU this fall for OT school! I am so excited! What is just as exciting is that I was accepted to all the schools I applied to - that's never happened before! It would have been cool to go to Wash. U or Thomas Jefferson U., which are both top 5 schools, but I decided that TWU would give me just as good of an education as those places (it is still top 10!) plus I wouldn't have to leave Dallas and wouldn't have to go further into debt! I don't even have to drive all the up to Denton for school, because the OT and PT departments are at Presbyterian Hospital. When I went to my interview, I got to meet some faculty members and students (one was actually an old high school friend, crazy!) and they all were really nice, laid back and seemed to have a lot fun while working hard in the program. So, all in all, it's a really good fit. Life isn't gonna be slowing down in the near future. I graduate from my current program in August and start my OT program the same month and will have my MOT in December of 2008. Whew, I'm already burned out. In other news, Chris just moved to a new apartment out in Valley Ranch and we love it! We've been spending the last couple of weekends decorating and his new dining set comes in Friday, which is exciting. Haha, I'm seriously getting old people, I'm excited about a dining room table! I also had the chance to go to the Academy Awards next month as my uncle's date. He's a member of the Academy and so he gets tickets every year. But, I have huge Anatomy midterm that Monday, which I can't miss and then it's my birthday on Wednesday and then Chris and I leave for the Dominican Republic the next day. So much to look forward to!!! :)
