Hi all!
So, I've recieved and sent back my Confirmation of Acceptance letter.  Does anyone know what happens next?  I'm very much a planner and like to stay on top of things, so if there's anything I can do, I want to do it.  It's not like the classes are going to fill up, the way they do in undergrad, but I like having it all taken care of.  Plus, I need to figure out financial aid.
Who's going to do an assistanceship?  Anyone know how that works?
Thanks!

I don't really know what happens next...I assume we'll get more information about everything in the beginning of July.  I think I'm doing an assistanceship, I e-mailed Susan Hassid about one and she asked if I'd prefer wet bench of administrative and said she'd put me on "the list" and let me know about it the beginning of August.  Apparently, you get work about 20 hours a week, get about 10k a year (or roughly $10/hr) and instate tuition.

Oh, sign me up for money!  I believe it works out to about $800 per month.  That'll (almost) cover the rent. Laughing 
Boy, I hope I got on that list...

You could e-mail her and double-check, it's too good to pass up really.  I hope it works out.  I think I'll be driving down to OKC in the next couple weekends to find me a little apartment.

 Hi there, I have been very disconnected of everything... I moved to Norman, OK and I am in adjustment process  now, so far I am liking it,  maybe because I am not working! ;-)
Well, I have the need for planning in advance too so I asked Susan about classes and schedules and she said she will work on our schedule at the beggining on July but she will do her best to have the classes between Tuesday and Thursday, so we can have Monday and Friday "classless" to be able to work if we want to.  Since I have been admited at the Anthropology Program and I will try to pursue both (actually, Anthro will only require one more class per semester and a thesis) seems like I will work for  the Anthro department (it is just easier for me since I have some contacts there and they are very supporting about my research ideas even for my Genetic counseling interests), so I will not be in the list for the assistanceship at the GC program.
I did apply for Financial aid, so I filled out my Fasfa (or whatever the name is) and I got a couple of loans they are offering me.  This is all I have for now.

Let's keep in contact and share the info we get... I love the idea of having all our classes in a block of 3 days and having monday and friday free for wahtever we want to do (likely work!)

Yeah, I got a letter from OU financial aid a few days ago - glad they're on top of that.

But let me get this straight... you're getting a degree in Anthropology at the same time as you'll be getting your GC degree?!?  And you're a mother, and all your family lives a billion miles away?  Dang, girl... you're driven.

Kole and I will be moving next weekend.  Definitely not looking forward to it, seeing as how I haven't begun packing yet...

I just now checked this feed, Alexandra you are a crazy woman!!  Good luck to you with all that work, and let me know if you ever need a babysitter..I'd be more than happy to give you and your hubby a night out together occasionally.  I e-mailed Susan earlier this week and found out we are taking 12 credit hours this fall and they are:

GENC5093 Clinical Research Methods        3

CELL5144 Embryology                               4

GENC5222 Molecular Genetics                    2

GENC5002 Human Population Genetics       2

GENC5221 Cytogenetics                            1

                                                                12

Yay!

Hi girls, sorry I am very slow responding now... since I am in a temporary place we do not have Internet at home so I am literally disconnected.   We should be moving sometime in July when my husband comes back from Peru. 
And I know it sounds kind of crazy, but I think this is my only chance to do it, it is now or never... (too dramatic maybe, but it feels like it....) I will just try to do as much as I can this 2 years and then it is my husband turn to go back to school.. so I am taking my chances... we will see.. and thanks for letting me know we can count on you Withney, I am sure I will be asking for your help sometimes... we will need some time alone since I am planning on using my husband's brain when mine burns out Wink
So about the classes, Did she tell you anything about the schedule? 90% sure  I have a  Research Assistanship with the Anthro department for this Fall, 20 hours in the lab doing molecular genetics, the funny thing is .. my husband will be my direct supervisor, let's see how it works out, we will balance the power thing now, he is my boss in the lab and of course, I am the boss at home!
Well, are you guys already in OK? let me know when you are and we can get together and go out for dinner, or whatever, enjoy the summer before we start the classes.

Take care and talk to you soon.  Jus in case, this is my phone number: 405-326-3899.
