This past month has been a roller coaster of paperwork and appointments in order to be able to register for classes. One of the first steps I had to take after I was accepted to UGA was to have immunization paperwork filled out and signed by my physician. Well, the last time I went to the doctor was in high school and that physician was my pediatrician....that was almost a decade ago and I was a little apprehensive about getting a new doctor who I had to rely on to fill out paperwork in a timely. I work in public schools, paperwork is about as fast as a cat on a lazy Sunday, so I'm a little cynical. I went to my appointment and had about a gallon of blood taken and about a dozen immunizations administered. Luckily for me, since I have had the experience of getting a tattoo, the copious needles were not a problem. After a freak moment with a positive PPD (Tuberculosis Skin Test) and a chest x-ray (don't worry I've only been exposed, doesn't mean I have TB, thanks public school system!), all of my immunizations were complete.
The next step was so anti-difficult that it doesn't even merit mentioning....so I won't.
When the woman at the Health Services department told me that my last flag was lifted, a rush of excitement came over me. This would be my very first graduate level course: Archaeology of Caesar's Gaul. When I hit "Add Course", my eyes filled with tears. This day truly begins my 5 year plan. Even though I had already been accepted and taken my proficiency exam, registering for this class marks the true beginning of my journey.
So excited for you! Your eyes will fill with tears for entirely different reasons once you start grad school, though...kidding, you'll do great!
