Disheartening....

I love that the weather is summery now, but DAMN, I can't really fit into my summer clothes from last summer...

I knew I'd gained weight since then, but ugh, what a slap in the face.

Time to start hitting the gym and not the kitchen.

Amazing!

So, surprise of the decade, CSUF actually accepted me!

I was 1 of 12 acceptances out of 400+, but, in the end, I decided to stick with CSULA. I'd definitely miss my classmates, professors, and the money I would be throwing away living in Fullerton. I'm super excited to start in the Fall with some of the good friends I've made while taking post-bacc. classes :)

I've been pretty lazy about Yelp lately, but I did go to the LA open event last week. It was fun! Here are some pictures. Cheesy and not cheesy.

Darryl and me.

Marthie, May, and Me (all future Speech-Language Pathologists!)

(500) applications to Fullerton...

Ummmm, yeah.

If only I knew about speech-language pathology 2 years ago instead of 1 year ago!

So, in good news, CSULB is NOT done sending out emails for interviews despite saying they would be done on Friday March 12. In bad news, 500 people applied to Fullerton (wtf), and I still haven't gotten an email from CSULB haha.

I'm 99% sure CSULA is accepting me, but now I know that it's CSULA or nothing. Maybe I should get some teaching credential applications started....

Thankfully only 180 people applied to CSULA. Yay for less competition.

Just got done with my first of three finals. Can't wait for tomorrow to be over! Possible celebratory drinking, dinner, and desserts with some fellow test takers after those are done. Then it's SPRING BREAK!!

LB Fail...

So CSULB didn't send me an email about an interview...

I'm not sure how I wasn't a top candidate considering my GRE was great and my GPA was good. Maybe a million people had a 4.0?

Jeggings...

Love the idea, hate the term--it's almost as annoying as recessionista. I absolutely hate sticking my real jeans inside socks so that I can pull boots over them, but sadly I haven't found any that work with my Asian calves. Some day you will be mine, jeggings!

As you can tell, I really only blog when I shouldn't be blogging: finals, midterms, etc. This time it is finals, and they are probably the worst I've ever had (even counting UCLA). I blame it on cumulative neuroscience exams based off of 20 lectures, 500+ learning objectives (basically questions that are answered by said lectures), and my lack of motivation. The other classes are cumulative as well, but they aren't as crazy difficult. Le sigh... Good thing I like Dr. Ivory, or else he would be my sworn enemy at this moment.

If I made the cut-off, I will potentially have an interview at CSULB for their Masters program in Comm. Disorders. Kind of exciting. My dream is for CSULA or CSUF, though... let's hope CSULB doesn't find this blog entry... ;)

Just received Precious from Netflix. I hope that it doesn't make me hate Sandra Bullock for winning best actress at the Oscars instead of Gabourey Sidibe, haha. I was actually really interested in the Oscars this year despite not seeing 99% of the movies in the running for awards (I saw Up and Star Trek hahaha.) I used to be SUCH a movie buff. I blame this on Darryl... whoops.

Speaking of Darryl, everyone keeps asking me when I'm gonna get engaged. Ask that fool instead!
