Grad School

I applied for grad school. I took the MAT which is the Miller Analogy test, and did pretty well I think. I googled my score in all sorts of different ways, and I still can't figure out what it means, but 400 is average and I got 420. The range is from 200 to 600, and I'm pretty sure that it's really hard to get into the 500's. It's all scored based on how people have done in the past. My admissions advisor said that the highest score they've admitted into their program was 470... So, I really have no idea, but I think I did well. I'll find out early next week if I'm accepted in to the program.

Today I have to get a filling. I hate being numb from the dentist. It is a really gross feeling. at least it's on top so it won't make my face look too weird.

Nick is on a hunting trip all weekend. It's the opening weekend of duck and geese season, so I won't see much of him for the next few weeks. He's so excited it's like a kid on christmas eve!

It's been sunny the last few days, which is really nice. It's been chilly at night and warm during the day, so it's been really feeling like fall. It's funny though, out here when it starts to get rainy is when people say it feels like fall. I always think of blustery days that are sunny or at least partially sunny with a chill in the air.

I'm really not good at updating this.

Things have been busy at work lately. There are now two of us doing three jobs until January. It's not bad at all, just have to keep thinking about all the things that need to be done and when.

We've had a really rainy fall. It's been raining most mornings and then having a period of a few hours of sun in the afternoon, and then raining all night. Everything is so wet.

As far as catching up on things... Summer was great. Cooler than usual, so mostly jeans and t-shirt weather, which is not what I like, but not bad. We had a really great staff at camp, and lots of great leadership amongst the Unit Coordinators, which lead to a smooth summer with not too many problems. We had ACA this summer, and it went without a hitch, so that was great. I plan on taking the ACA visitors course this winter so I can be a visitor. ACA is the American Camp Association, which is an association that sets forth best practices standards for camps.

I got a new macbook pro in september. It's been a lot of fun figuring out all the little things about the computer. I haven't had a mac since the imac in middle school... So a lot has changed. I also got my first smartphone this september! So, it's been a month of lots of new gadgets, and spending money. October is going to be a saving month.

On Wednesday I take the Miller Analogy Test (MAT) for and entrance test to get into Gonzaga for a Masters in Organizational Leadership. We'll see how it goes. I think I'm going to do fine. Once that is done, I'll find out if I get in and then I'll start school on October 25. Yikes! It's so soon. My parents figured out all my financial aid for my undergrad, so figuring all that out for grad school will be interesting and a new challenge.

I have 11 days of vacation that I have to use before the end of December, but not a lot of money. Any cheap vacation ideas? :)

I'll try to update this thing more regularly!
