Near future...hopefully

About a year ago, a girl moved in the ward and she had just graduated from a dental hygiene program in Boise, ID.  Of course, I asked her tons of questions and got some great advice from her.  At the time, I was in a dental assisting program in Orange County; I have now graduated from the DA program and taken the practical exam for California to become a Registered Dental Assistant.  I now just need to take the Law and Ethics Exam and the Written Exam.  This girl from my ward had told me about the school that she had gone to and I was excited about the program and the school.  So, I did my research on the school and found out that school has a campus in Mesa, AZ and I got even more excited about the program and decided that I wanted to visit the school and talk with the admissions rep there.  So, in June I schedule an appointment for an orientation meeting and called up a good friend who lives in Gilbert and got things squared away to make a trip out there.
The trip went really well.  I went to a dental hygiene orientation, talked with one of the admissions rep and I actually was able to take the 2 entrance test.  So, for the pass couple of months I have been in the application process (for both Mesa and Boise locations) and even went out to AZ to take the tests over to raise my scores.  Last week I got a call for the Mesa campus and well I didn't get accepted as one of the 30 students but I'm 4th on the waiting list.  The admissions rep said that the last 2 start dates went 10 deep in the waiting list...people drop out, can't get financial aid, don't pass the criminal background check, etc.  Because I'm 4th on the list, they have me starting the financial aid process.  At first, I was pretty upset about not being in the 30 students but I am ok right now.  I talked to the girl from my ward and she said that she was 10th of the waiting list for her start date.  Now, I'm just waiting and hoping that I start the program in November and that I can find a place to live out there with great roommates!

LOOK!! how cute but ridiculous these Carlashes are:
