get a doctorate

I would like the satisfaction of being called ‘doctor’ before I die.

just pretty much got verbally slapped around by my mentor. because i left the pursuit of a phd to do academic administration. i mentioned part time phd and edd and that didnt seem to help…i didnt dare mention the idea of a jd.

This is one of the things on this list that I’m most adamant about doing. I don’t care if life gets in the way and I have to put it off until I’m 80 years old, it’s going to happen.

To my future self,

Today (in the past) I am acknowledging that one day in the future (today for you) I would like to get a doctorate.

From,

My past self

i would like to begin my doctorate…so long as I get into grad school.

After a year on a Fulbright, I’ve decided academia is not for me. I want to be useful, and although I’m glad other people are out there, studying things, and there is a great deal of useful academic research being done, I just don’t think that mine would be. So instead, I’m going to finish my masters (this semester), start a family, and do good (well, I hope it will be good) work. Wish me luck!

I find out in a few days if I get funding, or if I get in at all.

When I return from the Peace Corps, I would like to get a Peace Corps Fellows Position at Fordham, in International Trade.

Currently applying for admission all over the place. Could this be any more competitive? And, would someone mind bombing ETS for me?

I’m working on it. These things take time, fer chrissakes!
