Update

Geez, I am really bad at keeping this up!

So, unfortunately, I did not get into any of the schools at which I had applied. I anticipate it was a variety of reasons, considering none of my other friends got accepted either. But that being said, there is a possibility that discussing my transition in my personal statement played a role in this decision. I haven't looked into it enough to be able to really discuss this, nor do I think it would be entirely valuable for me to do that. The fact of the matter is I didn't get in, so what now?

I applied to the Masters of Public Health (MPH) program at DePaul, which I should hear back about in a few weeks. This would be fantastic if I did get in because I would be able to learn more about health care administration, which is knowledge I am definitely lacking. Also, I may be able to accomplish some much needed research along trans health lines. Not sure, but excited none the less.

Other than that, I'm excited about graduation. 30 more days! I can't wait to catch up on some reading I haven't been able to do, movies I haven't had time to watch and friends I haven't been able to keep up with in the way I would have liked. This should be a fun summer. I'll be working, but I doubt too much. I'm hoping to take a few trips. Maybe get a dog? Not sure yet.

Another exciting thing happening currently is SAGA bringing Scott Turner Schofield, who is an awesome person and performer. Definitely looking forward to the performance tomorrow evening. We are happy to have him and all of the other guests who have made the events this week (and month in general) special. Thanks so much!

Hey Camdin - Nate. Yeah man, I'd be glad to talk about med school, transitioning and all the rest. Things are a bit strained right now, but I always have time. Let me just get through graduation these next few days and I'll write you back. Send me your email. Mine's sunhiker76@gmail.com.

Hang in there about med school. Getting in is probably one of the hardest parts. After that - you just [mostly] use your smarts. Hoop jumping is irritating at the least. Alright - talk to you soon.

Hey bro - I still hadn't heard from you. Just wanted you to know I'm always available to talk about school or anything else.

Best,
Nate
