Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in college anymore….

I’m just about a month and ½ away from the start of my grad school/DI journey, and I still have SO much to do! Starting graduate school is certainly not the same as college. You definitely have to be proactive and stay on top of things. There’s no hand holding here! It makes for a busy busy summer, but getting everything done and ready to start is a lot of fun too!

My lease on my apartment officially started July 1st, and I cannot wait to live there! It’s so amazing and absolutely perfect for me. Built in the 1920s, in a lively and beautiful part of town, plus only FIVE minutes away WALKING from the UAB Nutrition building. Location, location, location, right?

Still on my to do list:

• MOVE, the lease may have started but all my furniture is still stored away in my garage in Atlanta.
• Get my books, and make sure I’m registered for everything correctly
• Study for the medical terminology test I have to take on my first day and make at least an 80%!!! Eeeekkk…Wish I had taken a med terminology course at Georgia!
• Make a doctor’s appointment for a physical to get my health clearance forms completed
• Send the appropriate health and vaccinations records, all signed by a physican
• PAY for the program, yeah that’s kind of important
• Get a criminal background check and drug test (not really worried about not passing these ones!)

Ok well I better get back to it!
