Is anyone out there applying to TWU for the Fall of 2010? I got this idea from a previous thread and thought I should get one started for this semester, so that we can help each other and communicate with each other?
I have taken the Hesi-A2 and got a 74.8 on it so they didn't even look at my application. I live on campus so any help or information I can give just let me know. I'm excited and feel good about this deadline.
Good luck and I look forward to meeting you!
Missmoe27- have you tried the pancakes at Chacho's? Oddly enough, my doctor said they have really good pancakes....I've never been but will have to give it a try. I too love margaritas...margs and I are besties :yelclap:
WHAT!?!!? Pancakes at Chachos!! You have got to be kinding me.:eek:
I have had their whole menu (it seems) but the pancakes...never!! Even more shocking is that your DOCTOR suggested pancakes to you!! I must go back for the pancakes!! They upped their menu about a year ago...wings and mega nachos were added...maybe that is when they sneaked in the pancakes!! I have to pay more attention to details.
Totally off subject but...this dancing baby is hilarious! Babies that get their groove on...how obsurd!!
:dncgbby:
I sit front row, usually first seat to the right of the aisle (if you're facing the podium). I also pretty much sit front row during tutoring.
Oh okay, I'm pretty sure I know who you are.
Should one of us email our professor and confirm that we'll be going over the test on Thursday at 3:00? We asked her pretty casually so I think she may forget to make time for it.
I think I just wanted to post the longest message possible. Get ready....
