   Was realizing after I posted my message about length of wait time for Palomar that it has actually been 3 years for me at the end of this year. Wheh! I wonder how many of us endure the wait!

   Hi Trisnic ~ Just responding to your email. Good luck on the TEAS; it's not as hard as you'd think; I was scared too. I used the study guide, helped a bunch. Let me know who you are so I can look for you in January. You'll be at the Oct 27th Orien...
