[dreksterrr]

Hi, just wanted to start a post about my process of applying at lonestar. Hope to hear from other applicants! I have just taken my HESI and will be applying for the spring semester with a score of 11.54

They gave you the info for the patches? I did not recall them giving us that information. I thought that would be the week before class. Can someone please clarify this for me?

Hello and Marry Christmas !!! The patches are for sale at the book store. :)

Thank you Kim! And Merry Christmas! I was totally unaware. Do you know how much they cost?

yes, jennjenn... It was a wonderful gift. I started tearing the paper and saw the tubing and immediately started crying. Everything works out the way it is supposed to.

Happy New year!!

I just knew that you would get the call. I was starting to feel bad about all of us talking about school, but I knew it was just a matter of time for your. I love getting gifts from my kids no matter what it is. I cry every time daughter gives me something.

If only my kids knew that I am doing all this for them. They are just too young right now to understand. I am the only one in my family to ever go to college and actually get this close to a degree. I do feel the pressure to make my family proud that now I have been having trouble sleeping at night in anticipation for school starting. My anxiety has been making itself known as well lately. I hope this all passes soon once school starts.

I'm sure school starting will bring about a whole new level of stress for us. Lol. I'm dealing with a lot right now and have contemplated leaving the program. Then I think about how hard I have worked to get this far and I just cannot give up now. My husband will probably be transferring to a new job in early February that will take him away from home and my mom has a mass on one of her ovaries that is larger than a grapefruit. It has been one doctors appt after another to try to determine if it is cancerous or not. Surgery has to be done and I fear it will be scheduled on our mandatory orientation day. Or our first day of school. I'm literally not sleeping these days. Add my sick two year old to the mix and it's utter as complete chaos around here!

Tlm I am so sorry to hear that. I will be praying for you and your family. Stay prayerful because I know God did not bless you with getting into the program only to take it away from you. I know he will get you get you through this storm.
