Get serious about going to grad school and take the necessary steps to get there

Seriously…I have an appointment with an advisor in Public Health to discuss everyyyythiiiiing.

This is so damn hard. I’m actually missing being a college student but prepping up for grad school has proven to be rather difficult. I am proud of myself for being driven enough to STILL want to go. Some people don’t even go back to grad school after taking a break. I can’t see myself doing anything else right now. I keep playin’ around with studying for the GRE. I have a book and have yet to REALLY crack it open. What is wrong with me? I think I already have this defeatist attitude when it comes to standardized tests. I very rarely do well. I’m scared to take it. But I have to.

I’ve narrowed down my schools.
Ahem….the University of South Florida.
LOL, that’s my only choice. I wonder if I should consider other schools. Fact is, I loved going to school at USF. It’s one of 37 schools that offers that Public Health Graduate program. USF is top notch as far as Health goes, it is a research school. It’s located in a metropolitan area so there will be many opportunities for me to do internships/externships. And I just love Tampa. It’s a great city.

So….at least I have some ideas of what I want to do and where I want to go. Now it’s time to study study study for the GRE, get my application going and get my letters of recs. I’m going to do this.

I’m going to graduate school.

I have signed up for some GRE courses to help me on the test. I am an awful standardized test taker. I mean, horrible…..but I’m going to do the best I can. Sick of makin’ excuses. I’m just going to study for it, do my best and pray. Shoooot, what else can you do?
