Update

I passed the test for my grant!! I am SO excited! I learned of it this Monday when I spoke to the instructor who gave the test. I was SO worried that I wasn't going to pass. She told me that I got the best scores. It was on a points scale. The most you can get is a 9 in each section. Out of twelve sections, I scored twelve 9s!!! She said that I will do great in school and said to "not waste your brain Jodi." She was so happy with my scores. She said she was a college graduate and didn't score as well as I did, especially on the math section. I crammed like crazy for a whole week. Poor Sue & her sister Dianne had to hear about my nervousness in Connecticut. I met them the day before the test.

I went yesterday to visit two other schools as part of the grant requirements. We must visit three and all the admissions representatives had to sign a visit sheet that the grant office provided. Within the next two weeks I will meet with my career counselor who will write up the contract for the grant. The University I am going to has already accepted me and will fax them an acceptance letter once I get the contract. My class is set to begin on January 4th and last for six months. I will go to school from Monday through Thursday and on Fridays I will be externing at a hospital. I will be assigned one or two patients in hospice.

I thought I would give you all a Jodi update. I'm sorry I haven't been doing the memes. I will probably do Sunday Stealing this week. Tomorrow I am meeting Colleen for breakfast and Sunday I am going to visit my sister Jenny. Should be a fun weekend. I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Here's a new pic of Larry and I. He hates his picture being taken. Good thing he doesn't like to read blogs because he'd kill me if he knew I posted it. LOL!

I have a very important question to ask you all. Have any of you seen the new show "Mercy"? I am really loving that show. I figured since I'm going into the medical field and will be externing in a hospital that it would be a good show for me to watch.

As you all know...the guy above in that picture is my real-life husband. You all also know that fantasy husband #1 is Josh Holloway from Lost. I'm just letting you all know that fantasy husband #2 is James Tupper from "Mercy" (formerly on "Men In Trees"). You know, just in case you were wondering. LOL!

I don't know what it is....just look at this face!
