PA School Update

Applying to PA school has been hard to be honest.  I have felt so vulnerable as I put myself out there for evaluation.  Not too mention I get so anxious in waiting for the results from each school.  The waiting is far from being over.  It may take until March to hear the final update from ISU and who knows from the other programs.  
In December I flew to Boise to interview for the ISU program. The program is out of Pocatello but there is an extension campus in Meridian. Fortunately, my mom was able to drive up from Malad to meet with me and lend her support.  It was so great to have her there with me.
Every interview is different.  ISU's consisted of three 15 minute interviews with three different instructors from the program.  One of the interviews was even via teleconfrence.  That was a little tricky as the connection would cut out here and there.  It also felt odd speaking to a television.  In each of the interviews they basically asked getting-to-know-you questions.
I felt like it went pretty well, I'm just very anxious to hear back from them on the result.
Other schools still in the picture: Pacific University, Chatham University, and University of medicine and dentistry of new jersey.  I'll update when I learn more.
Aside from school interviews, my mom and I took some time to have some fun.  Here's a photo from my trip to Boise.  My mom and I went to the church where she and my dad got married.  It was the church where my grandma attended before she died.  Thanks for taking me mom, I loved seeing it.

Wow! Sounds really stressfull, but I bet you did great. It was nice to see you over the Christmas Break. And to awnser your question if I am going to name my calves...possibly if they are girls. I told Karalee she will just have to post the "cow of the day" one her facebook and before we know it we will have the whole herd named :)
