Get into graduate school

and a lot of thinking. And I feel that a Masters Degree in what I want to inevitably do is NOT necessary. Despite this knowledge, I do still want to get a Masters, but it won’t be in the next 2 or maybe even 3 years. I want to find a stable job, and figure out some of my debts and finances first. Save up money in case the school I eventually want to go to is out of state, then apply. But right now I feel it’d be too rushed, and I really just want more life experience and more opportunities to be published. So this will go in the giving up pile for now, but it will not be forgotten. The timing just isn’t right, and I’m fine with that.

they sent me all the forms and i’ve been checking their web site for a month for these forms but now that i have them i’m so nervous. i hate this feeling of not being good enough and i’ve had it all day. some days you just want to crawl into a little hole, with a gnome in it, that tells you you’re awesome and know that that gnome’s opinion is the only one that really matters… wait, that might just be me.

and I loved my four years of undergrad. I think focusing on one subject for 2-3 years would be absolute heaven. I know the locations of where I would want to study. The only problem I’m having is deciding what degree to pursue. The MFA in Creative Writing sounds so appealing, but also potentially disastrous. If I go through getting my MA/MFA and still have trouble finding work, I’d be heartbroken.

I’m also currently thinking of getting my MA in Journalism. I feel that of the two, this might be the safer route, especially with the internships granted to Masters students. We shall see, apps aren’t due til January/February, so I’m being sort of lazy and sitting on this goal for a while.

well as soon as they put up the application for next year i’m going to have to get all of my stuff together again. that means re-asking everyone who wrote me a letter of recommendation to write another one, rewriting all of my essays, getting an A in this stupid physics class, regetting all of my transcripts (i could get lacrosse’s right now…) i wonder if i get an A in physics if i should reapply to lacrosse… probably not..

I tried, but much to the surprise of my professors (and my surprise, I have to admit), I was not accepted to any of my choices. I have an alternative in mind which will improve my current situation drastically, but I don’t want to consider never going. It’s just on the back burner for now while I do what I can to improve my life without it.

I’ve made my choice and sent in the final acceptances. I’m so excited, I can barely get through the last week of my undergrad.

Just finished my application for a Master’s program in public administration. Hoping to hear back soon!

I am now an MBA student at Marylhurst University!

so they finally got back to me to explain to me what was wrong with my goals. I guess it wasn’t my goals (even though that’s exactly what it says in the letter) Basically in order to get into anywhere I’m going to have to retake some classes, mainly physics and anatomy and phys. 2 and probably another biology. Stupid sciences… I know I can take physics at night so that’s not a problem, the other two however, I may have to see what I can do.

my writing sample. Two pieces, one strictly policy-oriented and the other more theoretical. At the same time, I have to start nailing down which schools I’m going to apply to. I think I’ll do the 2 year program instead of one, because I’ll probably do a PhD program anyway.
