The First Day On Campus(As A Graduate Student)

I went on campus on 8/19/08, to buy my books. It was so much fun, just being on campus! My books came to $300, which was only three books. I also bought three WSU tee shirts. I got my Shocker Card, which required me taking a picture. If I had of known that, I would have tried to look a little better. I was surprised that the university is so large. I am glad that I am in shape, because I will be doing a lot of walking! I plan to start learning about the WSU web site, which is the major source of receiving information about classes, etc. My last day at work is 8/29/08! I can hardly wait!

Admitted!!!!!!

I have not posted for awhile, because I went back to work, submitted my resignation on 8/4/08. I gave two week notice, but they asked me to stay until the end of the month. My last day will be 8/29/08. During my vacation, I completed my application for admission to the graduate program, had all required paperwork, and was left to wait about an admission decision. I was starting to get a little jittery, when I had not heard anything about my admission, after returning to work from my vacation. I called the graduate program on 8/11/08, and was told that all my paperwork had been received, and I would get a response in two weeks. I did not receive any info, and classes begin on 8/21/08. I decided to go to the campus today. I was told that I had been admitted on 8/12/08. I met with Dr. Birzer, and selected my classes. Two of my classes are on line, and the third class is on campus. I waited to speak to a financial aid counselor, and was told to re-submit my application, correcting a minor error. When I came home from campus, I registered for my classes on line. I am so happy!!!!!! I have seven more work days, and then I will be a full time student! My exit interview is on 8/27/08, which happens to be my first day of class!
