April:
- Notified that I had been pulled from the waitlist for a graduate program, now accepted (yay!)
- Had to decide whether or not to attend that program, with a set deadline for an answer
- Decided, "What the heck, why not?"
- Overwhelmed
May:
- Moved all undergrad finals so I could start graduate school the week of undergrad finals (I'm insane, I know)
- Decided to break an engagement... long story
- Started the program, THEN graduated undergrad
- Overwhelmed
June:
- First month of living in this supposed "real world" they speak of-- at home, at graduate school 2 days a week and home doing homework the other 5.... Not real.
- Decided I'd start a new relationship, because that makes sense (really do care about him and appreciate that relationship, but that's irrelevant at the current moment)...
- Midterms
- "W" Day passes
- OVERWHELMED
July:
- Sudden realization of the INCREDIBLE amount of debt for a private grad school with no financial aid-- interesting how misleading pre-orientation paperwork can be
- Loans, debt, and other scary stuff
- SO......... I call up some people for advice, shoot an email, and come August, I'll be out of grad school --hell'a ride
- Now I make myself finish these exams and stuff, hoping to make it out with decent grades...
- And quick question, who assigns homework without grades attached?
- Still somewhat overwhelmed
Next step:
Finish this semester and then enter the real, "real world" for a while until the application opens up at another school. No thanks to a life of debt from a "half-time" program that has 19 credit hours for the summer term. Yes, 19. 19! Anyway....... I can find a better deal and like it more.
So, welcome to the blog. The insights and thoughts from a girl who broke off an engagement and dropped out of graduate school. But hey, I'm just 20, I've got tons of time.
