I just got off of the phone with Homer.  The MCAT test scores were origionally supposed to come out today, but they had changed it last week saying it would be tomorrow afternoon.  Homer wanted to be on the phone when I found out, and since he is going in the field tonight and won't be able to call for another 5 days, we checked it a few minutes ago.  I was shaking entering my password, and I quickly covered up the screen, only showing the test dates.  January 2008 was on there!!!  We both got really quiet and nervous.  So, once my heart started beating again, I uncovered the Verbal Reasoning score.  This is the section I worked the hardest to improve. On my past scores I got a 6, 5, and the most recent score was a 4 (these are out of 15!!).  Luckily, my hard work paid off and I got a 9!!  Much improvement--from 4 to 9!!   So it was looking good.  Physical science was next.  This section was decent for me in the past--7, 9, & 7.  This time I got a 7 again.  This meant I had to have at least a 9 in biology to reach the min acceptance score of 25 for South Alabama.  But, there's this writing section which med schools don't know how to use in an admission evaluation.  The scores go from J to T, T being the best.  The past scores were O, N, & N, so I had improved with my current P (but this doesn't matter anyway).  So, I was really shaking as I was about to uncover the biology score... I made a  9, 7, & 10 on the other tests, so making a 9 was very likely.  This was usually my best section during practice tests... We both started screaming when I uncovered a 9!!!  I had done it!! I had gotten a 25 on the MCAT!! This was the bare min I could get for South AL to consider me for an interview and possibly acceptance!! We're one step closer to staying in Alabama next year!!  I called the admissions office and talked with the dean of admissions. He said they are in the process of reviewing the remaining applications and for me to sit tight until I hear back from them.  The last interviews are March 19, so in a couple of weeks, I will hopefully have had an interview.  Hearing the news cheered Homer up. He said he was having a bad day until now.  So, this will give him some modivation and something to look forward to while he's working the next few days.  So now I just sit and wait... again.  I'll update everyone when I find something out... Until then, have a great day!!

Today I finished painting the last part of her name.  I am pretty pleased with the way they turned out.  I haven't hung them b/c I didn't get the ribbon yet.  It took a long time to paint them and by the time I was finished, I didn't even want to think about shopping for ribbon!!  My dad and I are leaving for Atlanta tomorrow morning to visit my Nana and Papa.  It'll be nice to get to see them b/c we don't get to see them much b/c my granddad is on oxygen and can't travel much.  They hadn't seen me with a belly; just with the extra fat around my waist and hips. 

Since I've been working out with my friend Mary Beth this week, I realized I need to buy more workout gear.  However, I was only able to find some sports bras. I may have to look into ordering some maternity gym pants b/c I already bought some in a large that I'm not sure I will be able to wear for much longer.  When I was paying for it, the cashier noticed my belly and asked what I was having.  This was the first time a woman stranger made a comment about me being pregnant.  The guy at Zoe's said something a couple of weeks ago, but I know that women tend to wait until they are sure it couldn't just be stomach fat (nothing is worse than someone asking you when you're due when you're not pregnant!!).  So I must look pregnant enough for a woman to comment.  So that's all the exciting news for today...
