Well...it's been some time since I last wrote a blog, so I here I am again. There are no promises that I will continue from here with this or if this will be the last post to this blog. This will be considered an attempt for me to compose some things that I am dealing with at the moment in hopes to receive some insight from someone...maybe?
At this stage in my life the two biggest issue (I'm going to call them situations) that I have to make are about graduate school and the rest of my life. I've decided to appy to four universities, and I am super late at requesting the services of my references, I think I will send out formal emails tomorrow. I am pondering re-taking the GRE since my scores weren't great, they weren't terrible either. I guess we will just see where I get in with the assets I have because since I am applying to them I really don't care which I get into, the programs I'm interested in are all awesome. The next step is completing the application by contacting possible references and writing the letters of interest. OMG! When I write them out it just sounds so simple, uh...maybe because it is! I will shoot emails out tonight, begin my letters tomorrow at work, and just submit the applications!
Now...on to LIFE. I am a 26-year old young woman, who hasn't really figured out what my aspirations are. I remember telling an employee and a professor that I wish there was a degree title (The Everything Degree) where a student such as myself, who wasn't sure what they really loved to do and preferred to do with the rest of his/her life could just choose whatever classes they felt fit his/her life and as long as it amounted to the number of credits for degree completion then you could name your degree and graduate with a legit degree...I know, crazy huh? Well, that's pretty much how I have been with life. All over the place! The only full time job I've ever held was temporary, an internship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and I still couldn't get my foot back in the door once that was over- not even part-time. I've done everything from working at Pizza Hut and YMCA to working for the state and federal governments, and this is where the rut begins. I have narrowed my grad school program choice to Speech-Language Pathology (what I studied as an undergrad), Higher Education Administration/Adult Education(maybe my true passion), and Library Sciences (extended from my current occupation which I have also grown to love). I will apply to the three programs and see how it goes, and I have set up plans for each case. Well at least I've gotten that far!
