How to get a masters degree
It made me
smarter
 "It changed the way I think."
How I did it: I decided out of nowhere that I wanted a masters degree. I wanted to do this for educational purposes only..."life learning", I guess. This wasn't going to help me with my career. I found a degree program at the same school where I did my undergrad. I liked that it wasn't an online program...I'm kind of old-fashioned and feel that it's not a "real" degree unless you sit in a classroom. I don't know what I was expecting to learn, but I did not expect that it would have such a profound impact on the way I think, write, and view the world. Though it hasn't changed my income or job, it has changed me.

How I did it: I can't believe I'm done. Graduate study has become such a huge part of who I am. I went in headfirst and gave it everything I had, even though there were days, weeks, and months, even, when I wanted to drop out so very badly. Read how I did it…

Setting the Goal
1 week ago
I’ve decided, quite randomly, that when I’ve finished with my bachelor’s degree (1 more year) I’m going to go get my master’s degree. I want to do Museum Studies, combining my love of working with children and my interest in archaeology. I’d love to be a curator of a big museum someday, one thats got all sorts of hands on ways of learning about history. Getting my degree will help me achieve this goal.
This entry officially marks the setting of this goal.
Yikes.

I’m one week in, and I think I’m running on about 12 hours of sleep for the entire time. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in class for six hours a day.
“If you think summer term is busy, just wait until you hit fall,” the instructors told my group at orientation last month.
Ugh.
(On the upside, man, linguistics is interesting.)
