I did quite a bit of research into different potential areas of interest. I went to a university I’m interested in attending (really the only one I’m interested in attending) and interviewed some professors and a current student. I was also able to obtain some resources to do further research about the areas. After yesterday’s meetings, I’m leaning toward doing a master’s program again. (There are several reasons why.) I also asked about volunteer research opportunities and they appear to be available. I’m encouraged and more focused about this. I’ll be meeting with the particular professor that’s in charge of the master’s degree I’m interested in, in a couple of weeks, too. It was a very productive afternoon. I’m encouarged by it and more focused on this goal after having done it.
