Hey guys! It's me your resident conservative republican...yay right? Hehe. So as the new semesters are beginning (mine doesn't begin until Jan 12th). Where does that leave me? Well after this semester I am out in the big bad world...ugh...and trying to find a job/grad program. I totally don't feel ready...lol But I am probably more ready than I could be possible.
I have been in the University for 6 years. I have enjoied it but It is time for me to move on. The thing is that I don't know if I am ready. I have all of the tricks of the trade and I also have good ideas to start my life.
The thing is getting started. I have to take several tests...ugh. I have to take the Praxis II, Spanish Competency, and The GRE. I hate testing. So I have tons to look foreward to. The only thing is that If I go to school...I need to find a job, a place to stay, and some way to be able to live on my own.
So am I stressing....YES!!!!! Will this deter me from my ultimate goal??? NO? lol Well thanks for listening to my complaining...night kids.

Ya know, I'd be more concerned if your WEREN'T stressing. That's what applying for graduate school is about. I've got first hand experience, though and lots of useful sources...so just let me know what's giving you trouble and I'm there to help ya out!
ReplyDeleteStandardized testing is the devil...no lie. But you'll make it through. If Steph {my GRE buddy} and I can make it through and get into decent programs, anyone can.
...and don't forget. Ultimately, you're going to have your 4-year degree soon. That's a huge accomplishment and no one can ever take that away from you.
Don't forget to be proud of your current accomplishments while trying to figure out the future. It'll all come together somehow. I promise.
...oh...and you're never ready, so don't worry about that. I start my second semester of my master's program on Wednesday...and I'm nowhere near ready for graduate school. :op
Much Love,
