get my master degree

...and got the acceptance letter today!

The duration of the degree is a year, but I think I can apply for credit exemptions because I’m doing the same Master as my Bachelor. If I get exemptions, I can complete studies in less than a year, and save a significant amount of money in fees.

I’m so happy!

I’ll be graduating with my Bachelor this August, providing I pass that dreaded Finance. If I do graduate, then it’s straight to grad school for me.

I figured I want to get this done with as soon as possible, and not wait until I have other commitments before I decide to continue to Masters. I know my own ability, and multi-tasking and not one of them despite all the evidence about women being great multi-taskers. Maybe I have gene defects!

I know if I do my Masters when I have a full-time job, I won’t be able to do it as effectively. Plus, I’m in a relationship with a man who thinks of getting us proper in another 2 years, and I wouldn’t be able to concentrate then.

I don’t want to put this on hold and then suddenly think it’s too hard to do. I want to be able to do it while my brain is still in study mode. I learnt my lesson when I took a break and went to work between diploma and continuing, and getting back to studying is double harder. I have to work twice as hard. When the link to studying is rested for a period of time, getting it back is hard. At least in my case.

so hopefully after I get my Master, I’ll be more at peace with myself and can concentrate on conquering the world and perhaps spewing out a few spawns of my own. haha.

i started school this week. i’m taking a sociology class to see if it’s something i would like to pursue. getting my master is something i would like to have as a long term goal. ideally i would love to get into UCLA but things change and at this point in my life i have no certainties. i’ll take it slow and take things as they come. i know that i’ll end up where i belong.

short goal
