I am taking the entrance exam tomorrow for the nursing program I'm trying to get in to. It's basic math, grammar and reading comprehension, and I have no reason to think I won't do well, BUT if I don't get the minimum score, I can kiss getting in goodbye ( Read more... )

Philly is all about the neighborhood I guess. We've been living for a year in West Philly, and it's nicer and prettier and there are more trees and I don't get hassled when I'm out walking.
