It's been almost a month since I've blogged last and quite honestly, I feel guilty. I haven't been as reachable to both friends and family lately because my weeks have been non-stop hectic and stressful. How do I wrap up in one blog? I can try.
As for GMAT, UNO requires 2 conditions to be considered under "unconditional admission". First, you have to have a score of 500. Second, both your Verbal and Quantitative percentiles should be above 20. I got a 490 as a score (I was sooo nervous, my hands were shaking) but my percentiles for both V and Q are way more than 20. So now, I'm on the provisional status, required to submit a Letter of Recommendation and a Personal Statement. I already have a pretty strong Letter of Recommendation from Keith (loved his "Rockstar" reference to me) so I just need to make a Personal Statement. I won't go crazy with it ala Legally Blonde but I'll probably just make a video of my statement alongside my letter. Speaking of which, I need to be doing that like, now because deadline of submission is on July 2nd.
Statistics is still managable for now. I just hope I get the Lab over and done with faster instead of having to lounge around waiting for the clock to tick 9:30 pm. Just 5 more weeks and I'm done, that's what I keep telling myself. And if I paid $800 for this subject, I might as well learn a lot from it.
Celebrated Joen's birthday at guess where, Hiro Restaurant! Again! Haha. My hubby (hobby, according to Zoe), is now 31 years old. but he still has cheesecake skin. EVERYWHERE. Hehe. Screwed up my gift though. I couldn't buy ahead of time because we both check our credit card balances everyday. So I opted to do an online purchase the day before so at least there's a chance he won't see it. But my purchase got declined SOMEHOW and 2minutes later, Joen calls me up. "Naay nasakpaaaan". Wells Fargo called him up asking if he was just online, trying to buy golf shoes. He told them, "No, but I think I have an idea who is". Waaa!!! Nawala ang surprise. We went to Golf Galaxy instead and he still chose and got the same pair of shoes.
Last night was our first non-working, non-studying Friday night. Anne, Zoe, Yien, Markus and I went to the Dean's party at his house. It was a good day to unwind, very nice weather (70s!!!) and Joen went to the driving range for the first time. He loved the shoes! Tomorrow, the peeps will be here at the house for our group May celebration. Joen's birthday, Zoe's Birthday, Anne and Joe's wedding anniv, our first anniversary as homeowners, and my A in Economics. Plenty to celebrate!
Jones, Ate Joyce, Aj and Jaja were over last week. I think Jones had fun here in the US. She was able to ski, see a baseball game and do all sorts of things. Here, we ate almost all Asian food, we watched Ironman, and we went clubbing for the first time here in Omaha. Haha! It was at Nico, the no-food, drinks only club and we danced for 3 hours straight. It was a good work-out replacement. Their Chicago flight got cancelled Sunday night so they stayed for one more half day before lfying out. Jones' Minneapolis to Japan flight got stalled after they have already been mid-air for 7 hours! Hahaha. Wala pa gyud na-undang iyang adventure. Have some pics, just lazy to upload, you know how I am. Can't believe that today, last week, they were here. Time does fly.
Mommy's createnine is now 2.6 from 5.1!!! Yey!!! Megan has graduated and she looked absolutely gorgeous in the pics. Mamay did a good job doing the make-up. So so so proud of her!
