I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

I told him DO NOT call to tell me what the acceptance/denial letter says, I'll find out when I get home.

I said the same thing to the family members in my house. I said, "If I'm out an about and "THE" letter comes, DO NOT call me". That anxiety would be worse than just walking in and finding out the letter came. They also were pretty good about knowing NOT to open it either. They said I worked my bootay off and deserve to open the letter.

Now, I'm going through "Letter Opening Scenarios" in my brain. I just hope I don't faint either!

My god. How much longer can this possibly take.

I don't know which way yet....LOL One minute I am thinking ST and then next minute I am thinking RT...I have a lot of thinking to do over the weekend. Well at work I have will have to think about it. I don't know if I am cut out for the phlem and such with RT. I love the inside of the body, if that makes any sense? I just don't know....tell me why you are choosing RT over ST...maybe that will help me decide better. LOL

Panky1,

Yes, phlem is gross but it's usually in a tube:) I think vomit is worse than anything, even poop. LOL If I make it in, I wonder if I will be able to call my husband in to clean it up. Whenever I tried to clean up our kids vomit; I would end up losing it also. :bugeyes:

I looked at the curriculum for both RT and ST and thought the RT looked very interesting. I figured I should pick something that I could really enjoy along the journey. I also thought it was similar to nursing. I read a great back and forth on this site about RT vs. RN also. A couple times it got a little ugly, but overall it was very informative. ST would definitely have its benefits though. Seems it would be less hectic unless you had to use the restroom of course (Mitchmich:lol2:). It's a big decision either way!! Good luck!!

So hubby calls me and says while I am out shopping and says that something came from MCC do you want me to open it. I was like no, if it is the acceptance/denial letter I already know that I did not get in so just leave it and I will open it when I get home.

He was like are you sure you want to wait? I was like YES I am on my way to get toliet paper, and I really need it so if you tell me the bad news I am probably going to cry and there is no way I can go in and get TP if I am a wreck....lol.

So I get the stuff I need, come home, hubby is waiting.....

Its a stupid bill for the spring/summer quarter. Um suck it MCC you are not getting a dime. I only kept the class in case my felony theory comes into play...lol.

Pbid, better get over the vomit thing now, I am sure at some point in life a patient is going to puke on you...lol. The only thing that bugs me is when my dog drinks a lot of water and pukes and it is all phlemy....yuck. I have to clean that up though because hubby is squeamish...lol.

Mitchymich,

You are a funny gal. :lol2: Sounds like you have thought it all through. Good for you for staying in shape; that will definitely help you along the way whatever progarm you end up in. I ran a marathon when I was in my 30's it was a great experience. Now I just try to stay in shape. It's been hard these last few weeks; I find myself stress eating a drinking a little to much Were days away. Have you paid for the other progam or are you waiting??

Hi Pbid, I am going to be in Resp Therapy with YOU!!!!! I finally made my decision and it was on reading alot about both and I really found it interesting that we can work in the er/trauma room....THAT I would Love....so my decision is set and the check went in the mail yesterday.....plus....my gosh, it said I was accepted into ST, but when I called, they said they will be doing another criteria rating in the fall. So you send in 100.00 now and if that criteria isn't met, then you don't get in the program, plus you lose the 100.00.....what a crock.....and I didn't meet the criteria with some of the classes. So I am in RT...I am excited!! Of course if the letter comes about the nursing and I by some slim, very slim chance I get into that, then there I go!!! But hey RT is a great stepping stone and it does sound very interesting! I guess I am going to have to quit smoking now for sure....LOL

Figures that Macomb would send a bill when we're waiting for our acceptance letters. They like to rub in how quickly they can figure out how much we owe, but they take their sweet time on letting us know the important stuff.

My parents are going to Traverse City from Friday to Sunday. I told my mom they should cancel their trip because I'll either need someone to watch the kids this weekend while I go celebrate or while I'm crying in my room out of pity for myself. Dang parents had to ruin my weekend plans.

Panky1,

LOL about the smoking! I have a really good friend who is a nurse who smokes like a chimney. I'm sure working in RT you would be highly motivated to stop smoking :smokin:I'm going in today to make my deposit for RT. I really am thankful and feel walking in and paying my deposit will remind me that this is a viable choice for me. In fact, RT, was initially my first choice and then I changed my mind, because physics and chemistry are not my strong suits. The more I looked into nursing the more I liked it. I'm off

Awww thanks pdid! I try to be a comedian when I can. *****!!! WOW! a marathon!!!!!! I would LOVE to get to that point in my life! I was never a runner, and well the 1/2 marathon was one of the BEST things I have ever donen for myself, I can imagine that a marathon is even better! Awesome!!!! I haven't paid for the other program. I will wait until Thursday. If I don't have the Nursing letter by then, I will go to the cashier and pay it. Then transfer it. I'm not going to let my plan B go just because I don't have the Nursing letter yet. Macomb's fault, not mine.

Panky1: BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!! Congrats on making your decision, your going to be great at RT! It will be a fantastic stepping stone in the right direction for you! I'm so excited that you are able to get into something you sound like you are really excited about!

I'm hoping today is the Letter day. I can't take much more. I'm getting Migraines w/ Aura's like crazy and I know it is from the stress. I just need this to be over already so I can at least feel better! This stress sucks! Today, ladies and gents...I hope that our letters will come! :yeah:
