Yes, I haven't posted in a little bit. I've fallen into that passive "it will get done" mood I get between working and figuring out what adult things I need to do on my days off. Sorry!.
Anyways, I will update you on my situation thus far. First of all, the first three schools I applied to (UNC Greensboro, Univ of Florida, and UC Boulder, my dream school) all rejected my applications, citing the "we couldn't take you because of x reasons and the fact we have SOOO many qualified applicants". Upset at first, but what can I do? Keep on trucking, or as Dory said, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming".
I have currently applied to Appalachian State University and plan to apply to two more schools, Texas Tech and University of Oklahoma Online. The reason why I waited so long on Texas Tech is because I could not figure out their application process and was waiting to hear from someone. Currently, I have heard from both program advisors and they have been extremely nice. I don't know if they do not have a ton of people in their program or it is the Texas Spirit (yes, people in and from Texas could be extremely nice), but they have been very helpful and excited towards my application forthcoming. I just hope that means something good.I hope it means acceptance, although my preference is to be in North Carolina.
Currently, good news for my fiance, Joe, has finally arrived. He is studying for the American Council on Exercise (ACE) Personal Training Certification Exam to become a personal trainer. I think this is a great decision since he loves everything about physical fitness and working out. He applied for a job at the local City Recreation Center for a front desk attendant, but was told it was a closed position. However, a week ago he received a phone call asking him to come interview for a Fitness Floor Attendant position. The next day, he interviewed and got the job! This is very exciting and will be something to give him the experience he needs for future Personal Training jobs.
Both of us feel very relieved and are happy! We have always enjoyed each other, but enjoy each other even more now that we both are employed. Thank you God for answering prayers.
Other than that, I am coasting along and working on finances in order to begin paying off interest on my student loans. Bleeeehhhhh. The job is okay and it pays. I am looking forward to my trip with Amy to Islands of Adventure soon. Going to rock it!!
Later,
Ellen Mirai
