go to grad school

added this goal in march of 2008 and now that it’s almost nov of 2009, the 1st step of the process is complete: i know why i wanna go to grad school.

i want my teaching certification and master’s at once and i found some programs that offer that. here goes sorting which one i want and applying.

I think the key to overcoming the myriad obstacles is patience. If I give up because of them, Game Over. I just need to accept that this will take time.

I just started my first day of grad school today. So far so good, and the rest of it looks promising!

I’m really thinking about a Masters of Library Science. I really think I’d be good in a library. It involves research, detective work, and strange bits of information. Also, it’s a specialized bit of knowledge.

I’m nervous, though. I’m not sure if I can cut it. It took me so long to get my bachelor’s degree…

And I’m really in debt from that.

I signed up to take the GRE in three weeks. It’s boom or bust with that one.

This weekend I’ll be working on a very general personal statement to use as a jumping off point for the specific ones I’ll send to each university.

I’m also going through the information I requested through petersons.com and gradschool.com. So far I love the research in University of Hawaii Manoa and love the perks at the College of Charleston in S. Carolina, such as location, island laboratory, and connections through profs to companies for which I’d like to work. I’m also going to organize all the information in a Grad School Binder so I can keep track of it more efficiently.

I started looking at different masters program’s that are close to home, and I’m pretty interested in the Sustainable Business option. Probably won’t go to grad school immediately, especially since I haven’t done any applying or taken the GMAT yet. However, I’m going to get ready for the first step and start preparing for the GMAT…slowly. I put a GMAT prep book on hold at the library, so I’ll browse through that as I have time. I figure it’ll be easier to learn for testing, rather than cramming it in last minute. Seeing as I might be working when I decide to test, I want to avoid having too many things on my plate at once.

Ok so i won’t start grad school for another two years, but because i’ll be out of country, i’ve decided to do it before i leave. Let’s hope for the best!

I’m still completing my BA, but i’m super sure that I want to go to Grad School. I love the subject that i’m studying and want to learn so much more about it. I would love to go to grad school one day! I would actually love to go RIGHT NOW!

for me…two degrees is enough!!
