These are my thoughts of late: "I think I can, I think I can..." And even though I'm not totally convinced that I can or that I want to, I went ahead and paid my dues, officially scheduling myself to take the GRE on November 9th. I've had one really good day of studying, and that's as far as I've stretched. Regardless, of my puny actions, I'm thinking I can. So one of my ideas is that I conquer this irritating hooop of a test, apply to a few graduate schools (a social work program in Asheville, that will allow me to continue my work here for awhile longer, before finishing up the program in Chapel Hill), and throw myself to academia that seems a little more wolf-like than it used to. I tell you I've changed from the student I once was.
But I'm also thinking I can do some other things, but I don't want to divulge unless I settle more on one of my dreamy ideas. So I guess you'll have to stay tuned for the unfolding of my future, which I'm sure you're desperately intrigued by (I sure hope not! You've got your own future to worry about).
And what makes this all so strange, is that I'm happy and content in my current situation, having plenty of time to pursue hobbies, personal interests... I feel quite sane and fear that school might make me a little crazy. But I guess I don't have to make sense, so cheers to changing good things!
