So, in case you didn't know, I've been kind of freaking out about the whole Pharmacy school thing. You know, whether or not I'll be accepted and what I'll do if I am not accepted into pharmacy school.

One of my coworkers went to Temple University Pharmacy School and she also was involved later in the admissions office or whatever and she told me that they take anyone who has higher than a 50% on their composite PCAT score. And when I told her my score she looked at me and said, "That's really good!" which is such a relief since I didn't know what is good and what isn't. My GPA is borderline so I don't know if that would be held against me.

I told my mom this and she said, "In case you don't get into Temple Pharmacy school, I think you should apply everywhere else."

"But mom," I say, "There's, like, two schools in Philadelphia."

And my mom says, "You should apply to EVERY school. Like in California, North Carolina, Alabama. ALL THE SCHOOLS."

I didn't think she would have been so open to the idea of me moving away from the house and from Philadelphia in general. I thought she was a total nutcase in that she wanted me to stay here. Speaking of which...

My friends and I have been looking at houses to rent with a bunch of people (four people total max) for next semester and at first I was scared to bring up the subject to my mother but after today, its clear that she doesn't care anymore - as long as I get the grades, study and whatever. So thats great. However, if I do get accepted into Pharmacy schools, I wonder how I would be able to pay for it. I'll have to borrow a ton of money.

Which is okay with me. Now, I just have to apply to a ton of schools. The University of Hawaii at Hilo - College of Pharmacy, anyone? Hehe.
