First PA School Interview Invitation!

Two months after submitting my primary applications to various PA schools, I received two rejection letters and one invitation for an interview to Barry University in Miami, FL. I received the rejection letters from the University of Arizona - Glendale and sadly my top choice, Medical College of Georgia. When I received them, I couldn't help but think of Jason's popular and amusing phrase, "I didn't want to go there anyway!" Benji reminded me that it's not where I don't get into, it's about the ones that do accept me, and where I'll be going that is important. So, hopefully I will be accepted to Barry where I will be able to continue my pursuit of becoming a PA. My interview date is scheduled for September 14th which is immediately after our family trip to visit Benji in St. Maarten so it's going to be a nice trip!

Benji and I recently took a trip to Savannah and Tybee Island, and while there we stopped by South University's campus. The campus is a bit small, but it doesn't matter to me. PA school itself is tough getting into!

Benji and I recently took another trip to Destin with Justin, Monica, Mindy, Dorothy, Chris, Min, Joon, and Richard (a bunch of Techies!) We outnumbered Benji and Joon's alma matter, UGA by a landslide. The trip was amazing! Everyone got to really enjoy the beach, condo and the city of Destin. We stayed at Silver Springs condominiums in a 3 bedroom luxurious condo and revisted
the Old Bay Steamer for an amazing seafood dinner. Major props go out to Monica Bradshaw who put this gathering together!
