Two major bits of good news!

Perry f.i.n.a.l.l.y has gotten into the biochem BS program. Yes, it means an extra year, for one class, but he was planning on working and preparing for the MCAT next year anyhow, so it'll work. It still galls me. This time the diff in the application? He talked about going on meds and pointed out how his GPA jumped when he did, duh. Anyhow, yay. He'll graduate with a bit of luck with a BS in biochem and a BA in French in June 2024.

And

My niece is graduating from nursing school next month got a job (contingent on passing her boards, of course) in Labor and Delivery at the Alaska Native Medical Center. So excited for her!

Wonderful!!! I'm sure that will take away some of the poor kid's stress. Maybe a little? ;)

I hope so too! I mean, his mouth is pretty much one gigantic canker sore, he's been tested, re-tested, and let's test again and zip is showing up, so they're just saying 'viral' and/or canker sore, depending on who he's seeing. I've gone full woo and had Amazon send him a box with multi-vits, extra B12, soft toothbrushes, and toothpaste with no SLS. There is not a lot of scientific data saying any of it it'll work, but with him I'm truly at the 'can't hurt' stage, poor boyo.
