PA school....3 weeks away

The summer class schedule has been released. I will be taking Behavioral Science, Health Assesment and Scientific basis for Disease. Very excited to know the classes, but not very exciting to buy the expensive books. We also received the full student class list and correspondence has begun. I think it will be very interesting to see how the group works together and gets to know each other.

I recently completed my application for the National Health Service Corps Scholarship (NHSC). It will take 3 to 4 months to find out if I receive the scholarship. My searches for school funding were a dramatic failure as I wasn't the "category" of an individual that the scholarships were looking for. Its a little frustrating because I know that there is funding and scholarships floating around I just wasn't able to find them. The school provided about $3000 in funding for me which was great and the student loans were all obtained with good interest rates.

I really don't know what to expect as school begins soon but I am excited to find out...
