Re: Kudos To You!!

I've been in one relationship in my life. Yesterday we hit two years together.

Re: Kudos To You!!

I'll trade magic secrets with you. Finding a master's program to accept me is my singular goal right now.

Congratulations, Mr. JimmyJay. What will you be studying and when can we start calling you Dr. JimmyJay?

Re: Kudos To You!!

I finished paying off my car loan today. I hope this is the first of many adult achievements I unlock in the coming months.

Awesome! Now do the responsible adult thing and keep the monthly payment amount in your budget but put it into savings each month. :srsnod:
I like the way you think

Re: Kudos To You!!

I decided to listen to Epi and now I'm broke. Thanks for nothing, G. Should have been more persuasive.

But then I got hired for a new job. Finally. I can (hopefully) retire from my nocturnal lifestyle. Orientation begins November 6th. Adult achievement #2 unlocked.

Re: Kudos To You!!

I'll be working as a mental health specialist at a psychiatric program. Basically a patient supervisor. Helping them in whatever way I can. It pays much better than my current job (roving restaurant employee), comes with much more manageable hours, looks good on a resume, and actually has the potential to be rewarding work. I've been waiting for this to fall in line for almost two months now. It's a tremendous relief.
It also gives me a more stable schedule in which to fit mafia activities.

Re: Kudos To You!!

Just finished writing my personal statement. I'm letting it sit for a day so I can reflect and review and review and review before I officially submit any applications. But the heavy lifting is done. My brain is melted.

wooop woop. Well done! you're going to have your pick of schools, I'm sure of it.
Naturally I woke up this morning and felt like the whole thing needed to be tweaked.

I'm done again and this time I feel downright confident. And also a little terrified.

Re: Kudos To You!!

As am I. This is my last choice school for geographical reasons, but it's a school and it means I get to move forward with the dream I've been aspiring to for ~5 years now. The anxiety of waiting for an acceptance from anywhere was really weighing me for the last two months. I feel like I just exhaled for the first time in 2018.

Also thank you

Re: Kudos To You!!

Being a Master's student is like super different from being a PhD student, right? It'll be a breeze and I won't have a single complaint ever.

Re: Kudos To You!!

I don't know what I'd do with myself professionally if I don't go into education, and for the time being there's not much else I feel like doing besides continuing to learn things full-time. I'm excited to be entering this tunnel. I'll probably be way more excited when I get to leave it a lifetime from now.

Re: Kudos To You!!

I'm leaning toward the one school that hasn't responded yet. I feel confident I'll get in, but as a formality they have to wait for my GRE scores. I'm taking that on wednesday.

Hey, I live pretty close to Buffalo! It’s a really cool town on the come-up, so that’s awesome. Do you have a specialization picked out?
Not yet. The program is very open and allows for lots of free study and specialization. I tend to gravitate toward questions about religion and mythology, so I imagine i’ll study that in some capacity.

MP has been pusuing this PhD for as long as I’ve known him. This is the end of an era.

Re: Kudos To You!!

This is old news, but I never mentioned it anywhere on here: I finished grad school and officially hold a Master’s degree in English now. As of a month ago.
