After some more consideration, along with a perfect storm of other things (oh hai retail), I have decided that I will stick to my original plan that I had earlier this year and skip out on grad school this time around. Thinking about preparing for the blasted application has gotten me to realizing that shooting for just one school is a poor idea. Plus, I want to see what other programs are out there and research them more before I decide at the end of 2013.
I really want a new job, sock away some serious dough, and maybe even plan a trip to San Francisco for next summer. Something, anything to get me thinking about my life again. Turning 26 has really helped me realize that I need to get my life in gear. I want to start dating, meet new people, and continue to write.
I find myself drifting away from things I used to like and moving onto other things, wanting to grow more as a person. Gaining a hold of my sanity was the biggest game-changer in my life. I find myself looking around my current hopes and dreams and realizing they no longer apply (like the original grad school I wanted to go to). I would love to go to grad school out of state, go out into the big world, and see what it has to show. I want to break further away from who I used to be and keep going forward in my new direction. And the arrow point further than Austin, further than retail... further than I can fathom at this point.
We'll have to see how it goes. But first things first: a new job. That would be the best Christmas gift ever (well, since being asked by my best friend to be a bridesmaid for her wedding).
