  1. Hi! Congrats to your DD on her acceptances. Applying to direct-admit nursing schools isn’t for the weak of heart! 
     

    My DD is waiting on her U of Michigan (top choice & our state flagship, so very affordable) and Boston College & Emory U (likely to be very expensive even if admitted) decisions. So much waiting!
     

    Did your daughter apply to Florida Southern College by any chance? If so, I have some inside scoop/tea worth considering!

      My DD just had a ton of friends deferred for U of Mig, too. Your dd is definitely not alone.

      She didn't apply to Florida Southern College, sorry! She's in at Point Loma (small Christian college in San Diego), Sonoma State (discarded safety), and Clemson. Still waiting on U of Miami, UCLA, UCI, and SDSU. UCLA and SDSU are her top choices.

  2. Nerves kicking in BIG TIME. First interview is at 1245 today. Second one on Monday. My battle buddy from nursing school texted to remind me of our familiar refrain when we went to clinicals in the ICU, "Knock 'em dead! But not all the way dead!" 😄

      Sorry! CA is brutal on new grads. I'm dreading the getting hired as a new grad process.

      Uworld and you got this. The real challenge will be dealing with the CA BRN.

      CONGRATS!!!! You did it. COVID couldn't stop you. I wish you so much luck in securing a new grad position! I graduate in December and could just weep reading that you're finishing up.

      Mine, too! How old is yours? Mine hit 5'9" right at his 13th birthday. He is delighted to be the tallest in the house.

      Wow, best wishes to you. DH and I were married for 12 years before I met his estranged brother. He was surprisingly normal. Haven't seen him since.

  12. DS has an event in San Francisco tomorrow. On pride weekend. The day after today's ruling. I wonder how many hours we should add to our commute estimate?

      Update- it was totally easy getting in and out. Also, first time to TI. It was so NOT what I was expecting.

      Found out that it's actually on TI. We're coming from Marin- driving. I think we're going to go Richmond and Bay Bridge.

  15. Tropical Storm Arthur will barely affect us, but that doesn't matter to local news anchors. They love a storm, even when it's not going to hit us.

      My favorite was the year we had Charley, Frances, and Jeanne. I can't remember which storm, but there was this moment when the reporter was in a boat, leaning into the wind, and then this dude just went walking all normal behind her in maybe 8 inches of water.

  20. "But where are Ma and Pa going to be?" My three-year-old, upon being, informed that we are almost done with LHOTP and will be putting the series aside for now. I assured him they would still be safe in the books until we got back.

  21. You know what's awesome about this board? We're starting chemistry, so I search "chemistry." Within 10 minutes, I have 5 awesome looking books on hold at the library and 1 vintage text on my ipad. Thank you ive!

  22. The Children's Librarian at my local library just asked me for suggestions for a homeschool book section they want to create. For a moment my mouth just hung open like a fish.... there was a traffic jam in my brain!

      Our local library had a binder that could be checked out which was like homeschooling 101 and had specific info explaining the laws, complete with sample withdrawal and letters of intent. It was incredibly helpful to a newbie!

  23. DD13 has declared me the best mom ever. I found her free horse riding, something she has been begging for years to do but I could not afford it. I found a way for her to do so for free!
