977 days to go..

Where does the time go? I've been doing really well with losing weight. I weighed in yesterday and I lost another 3 pounds last week, so that means I've lost a total of 4.2 pounds so far. I'm almost halfway to my first goal of 10 pounds! I also haven't touched soda in 15 days, so I'm halfway done with that challenge as well.

I received an e-mail from the dean of admissions the other day explaining to me how I could fix the problem I had with one of my classes last semester. The problem was the teacher, but we're hopefully going to get it fixed and fix the grade on my transcript. I will have to do an Individual Enrollment, which means I will have 21 credits next semester if everything works out. That is 4 credits overload, but I think I can deal with it. I am meeting with him tomorrow to discuss it in more detail. Because of this, I have decided that I'm going to apply for graduate school for Fall of 2012 again. I really want to go next Fall, but I was worried this class would put me into a bit of a setback. I've started studying for the GRE, and I hope to take that at the end of September. I'm also going to have to take the GRE math subject test and I'm hoping to take that in the beginning of December. Most of the classes I'm taking this upcoming semester are subjects that are on the subject test, and by December we'll be almost done, so I'll be prepared (I'm hoping) and it'll also be enough time for me to get my scores to send to the schools. Also, on Saturday, Boston University is having an open house for prospective graduate students, so I'm attending that. It starts at 10 and ends a little after 12 which is cutting it a little close for work, but if worse comes to worse, I'll just leave early.

I had a meeting with the coordinator from the Circle Program a couple weeks ago. I'm going to be mentoring an 8th grader named Miranda. I can't make the mentoring night because of work, but I'm going to have lunch with them at their camp and she is going to show me around and I'll get to know her a little. I'll start mentoring her in September and I'm really excited.

I'm getting really excited for my trip to NYC. Only 18 days away!!
