It’s been a while, again. I know…i know.
Lots to talk about today. First, spring break was wonderful! I had a blast seeing the cop and Linc, and catching up with family and salsa friends. There were so many folks I wanted to see, but even six days wasn’t enough to get to all of them. I’ll have two weeks off before the summer semester starts, and I’ll be sure to see everyone then!
Secondly, school has kicked up a notch. They’re throwing new material at us left and right, and I must admit two things: I lost my drive due to spring break, and I got behind on my readings and studying. Big no-no!!!! So, I’ve had to kick it into high gear, find my motivation, and catch up. And finally, I get to sit down and catch my breath. The good news is my grades did not suffer at all! I am so proud of my performance here this semester. We still have lots of work to complete before the summer session, but if things continue the way they have been, I will be going into it with a strong GPA, and a strong understanding of the material. On a not so good note, we have lost a total of 3 students to date, all for various reasons. I don’t know the details, and to be honest, I really don’t want to know. It’s none of my business. I do, however, wish them well in their endeavors.
Now for the great news! It’s PARTY TIME TONIGHT! Mr. Eddie Palmieri and his world famous Salsa/Latin jazz orchestra is coming to town, for one night only, and I will be there with my dance bag in hand and a smile! After the concert I’m heading downtown to dance the night away, and this time, I will have my ballroom shoes. Yes!!! Time to decompress, relax, and have some fun.

Hi, SLP
Yes, someone is reading your posts. I plan to go to PA school. I've applied to 8 schools this year, rejected by 7, interviewed with one but then wait-listed and don't see the possibility of going this year. I'm going to apply again for next year and get some help with my application this time. My GPA is not the greatest due to past poor academic performance. My last 6 years of school (which total about 8 semesters or so) have been great. But most schools have too many applicants to look thru everyone. So they just look at GPA and throw out the lowest ones. PA school is a lot more competitive these days.
I like reading your blog and it gives me a glimpse into what I want to do. Keep blogging and stay encouraged. I know it's hard and heard it gets tougher before it gets better.
Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I want to encourage you to keep striving for this if it's what you want. You CAN do it! What kinds of schools are you applying to? How's your personal statement? These things make a huge difference. Let me know if I could be of any help to you.
Again, I'm glad you're reading and enjoying the blog. Stay the course, and keep the faith!
I'm applying to most schools in FLorida. My financial situation is better if I go to school in Florida. I also applied to University of Alabama; want to go into surgery.
I am going to rewrite my personal statement. I wrote it as an autobiography last year, but I don't know if that's what they are looking for. So I'm not sure what to write.
I will also be taking another class online so I can boost my GPA.
