Application Day!



Almost exactly 5 years after I realized that I wanted to be a midwife, my application to Frontier Nursing University is finally on its way! I sent it out on Thursday, June 2, and according to the post office website, it arrived yesterday at 8;47 AM. 

Nerves.

I probably sent twenty (or more) emails back and forth to my assigned admission officer between last Fall and now. Is this the right class? Am I giving you the right information? Have I done everything I can do?

And the essays...

They shouldn't have been difficult, but for some reason I had a hard time. I'm a great writer - people tell me that all the time. I even like re-reading my own stuff (ok, except maybe when I use words like 'stuff'' that make me sounds very un-sophisticated ). I had multiple people proof-read my essays to make sure they were grammatically correct, focused, and answered the questions. I'm very grateful that I made a friend in Vanessa, a FNU midwifery grad and current DNP student. She has been amazingly helpful!

So now, we wait. The collective we. When I posted the above picture on Facebook on Thursday, forty-one people "liked" it. Hopefully I will have good news to share with them soon!
