So Close.

Today I got home from work to find a note on my door telling me I have a certified letter to pick up at the post office. Eager to find out what it was, I got right back in the car with Izzie and flew on over. I know that acceptance letters for the nursing program are being mailed out in March, but I was desperately hoping for some good news. After waiting almost 20 minutes in line, I got my letter. It was from Moorpark College! I quickly tore open the envelope and read that I am accepted as an alternate for the fall semester. Not exactly what I'd hoped for, but I'll take it! As an alternate I must attend all the meetings and have all my paperwork (drug test, background check, first aide & CPR cards etc) in order, but I'm not guaranteed a spot. They say to be flexible in case someone drops out, I could be accepted up to the day before the semester starts! Geez - what do I tell my work? I was hoping for some definitive plans, but at least this is progress!! If I don't get in for Fall, I will for sure be in for the Spring. In the meantime, I'm secretly hoping ladies will get pregnant and drop out, or just drop out for any ol'reason at all! =D
