School, School, and more School!!!

I have been doing alot of research about where in the world (literaly) we can apply to get Scott into the Doctorate of Pharmacy program. We only want the schools that have the three year program.This being becasue you get done a few years earlier. However they say that 60-70% of the people that get accepted have a bachlors degree. Well they only take 96 people a year our of 1900 at midwestern. You can do the math. But good news!!! Scott is tri-lingual. Big plus. Not only that but he is getting fantastic grades. Another big plus. Now we just have to see how he does on his PCAT (Pharmacy College Assesment Testing) exam. He has to be in the top 80% to be considered. This is all for Midwestern University here in Arizona. Our wishes are that he gets accepted for the summer of 09. Sounds far away, but the application process is very extensive. He has to start the process in JUNE. I almost had a heart attack. All the things that have to get done before that. Not to mention that Scott's sister is getting married. I am going to be in school. and he is working full time, and does not have alot of time. The other 2 schools that we have found he can not apply for they require two or three more classes before he can apply. So he can not apply for those until August of 2009. But I found a three Pharm D program in OREGON. Oh boy am I so happy. Not only that but they are less competitve than the other two. They only get 500 applications a year and take 96 people. So that should not be as hard to get into. I would love to go back to Oregon that is home to me.

Anyway aside from school, things are great here in the valley of the sun. We had a really good thunderstorm last night. That was awesome. We are expecting more rain, and I love the rain. We were able to go to the zoo and enjoy 76 degree weather on Tuesday. And it was a blast. Ashlynn is going for a Phsycology appointment today so maybe we will get more info on her. I am sure i will post about that later. Coleton is getting so big we offten for get that he is not even two yet. Although he will be in a few weeks. Scott is doing great in school and work. They love him at work, but he is going to have to quit so he can get into a pharmacy. I am starting classes on the 17th of March to become a Phlebotomist. I am excited about drawing blood. I think it is going to be fun. I should be done before the end of the fall semester. So needless to say we are going to be busy. but that is the life we live. All is well. everyone is healthy, and that is the most important.
