I'm scared. Excited. Anxious. Hopeful. Doubtful. Proud. All sorts of mixed feelings are taking over! I can tell you one thing is for sure: I am NOT ready for the GRE. Ugh. I know I should be positive about it, but seriously, me + tests = disaster. It's been like that since I came out the womb! :P Ha, but really... I have been studying here and there, and I know I should definitely be doing more of it. But it all comes down to when I get to the test: I know what I know, I can do my best, and that's all I can do!
I am going to research some more schools in The Cities to see if I could possibly go there (just to have a plan B in case KC doesn't work!), and I think I'll apply to the WSU program too. Might as well, right? I'm just scared SOMEthing won't work out and I won't be prepared, then I'll go into a state of helplessness or depression...something not good. So I figure it's better to prepare for that instead of winging it. :)
But let's all keep our fingers crossed that UMKC and/or Webster work out!
Then I have to find a job and such... But we'll cross that bridge when we get there! Haha, I'm taking baby steps.
All I can say is that I really just want to get my bajillion dollars of debt paid off before die so I can go travel... All that debt is such a burden to carry everyday... Ugh. Sometimes I wish I would've gone to school part time or just paid out of pocket so I wouldn't have to deal with all this. Oh well. Live and learn, right? :/

This is such a stressful time! I'm sure things will turn out better than expected. Last year I applied to something like 7 schools and was accepted with fellowship/TA-ship to 5 of them. As a fellow planner, I understand the uncertainty is SO scary, but treasure this time in your life. The changes are so exciting!
ReplyDeleteThe hard part IMO was sticking with the program once you get in. I decided it wasn't for me after one semester (which was terrifying).
Goodluck :)
Thank you! Yea, I've delayed my applications for now because grad school just doesn't feel like the right thing to do right now anyway. I will eventually go back, just not now. I'm already checked out of undergrad school; I don't know how I'd last in grad! Haha!
