   Congrats to those of you with the Right Kind of letters! So, for the next year until I reapply to UCSF, I'm going to do a Certificate in Theological Studies, because I might wind up going to seminary...

   I suppose so. In general, it seems odd to me that there isn't a more powerful national representative body in nursing. It's exactly the sort of field that needs it. Oh well, another thing for me to...

   Just called UCSF. The letters went out thursday and friday, with a few on monday. She couldn't tell me my *personal* status over the phone. Wouldn't be right. Call back if I don't get it by next...

    Wife just called from home: STILL NO LETTER. I am going to kick the letter carrier so hard in the shins if a letter doesn't arrive tomorrow. Doesn't UCSF know I'm on msn messenger most of the day?...

    I'm sorry, seahorse. Still, stiff upper lip. You've come a long way, done a lot, and there's still hope! Your family and friends better be supportive of you or we'll all give them a talking
