Graduate School Applications

I made the decision about 6 months ago to go back to school. Sure, my job is boring. I wake up at 7am everyday and don't get back until 7pm, and I spend most of my time on the computer. But it isn't just the monotony of my current job that is pushing me to go back to school.

I miss school. I miss living on/near campus, rolling out of bed to make it to class and bumming around the coffee shop in my sweats. But most importantly, I miss learning. I miss studying and reading and using my brain all the time. It is important to me to be intelligent and well-prepared for anything, and I feel like my mind is beginning to get mushy. That is why I have decided to forge ahead to graduate school to get out of this mushy slump.

I couldn't be more thrilled. I have been working non-stop on my writing sample (25-30 pages of creative non-fiction) and reworking my personal statement/letter of intent/statement of purpose for each school over and over. I have all of my letters of recommendation in place, however one professor who agreed still hasn't gotten back to me about it. Yikes! I hope it turns out ok!

I am also thrilled to report that my boyfriend will be moving with me when I go! Danny is so supportive and it will make picking up and moving across the country so much easier and enjoyable with him there.

I am so excited!!!!
