Things were accomplished today. Not as much as probably could have
been, but it wasn't an entirely pointless day. When I woke up I
strongly considered cleaning my room, something that most definitely
needs to happen. But not today. Instead, I made progress on
applying to grad school. I filled out the online application and
sent that in. I also had my undergrad transcripts emailed to the
college I want to go to.
I got an email back from the lady I emailed yesterday and she gave me
the email address to someone else. I emailed that person, and along
with saying the emailed transcripts might not count (which sucks
because I paid fifteen bucks for them), they gave me a link that
showed deadlines and all the enrollment requirements. For the life
of me I couldn't find that information when I was clicking around
their site. Every time I went to a page about applying or enrolling
or anything along the same lines, I got the online application page
or a PDF about the library science program. But now I have the
information I need.
I still have to update my résumé,
get two letters of reference, write a statement of objectives, and
eventually have an interview. The résumé should be fairly simple
when I find my latest one, just needing to add my job at the school.
The letters of reference should also be fairly simple. The hard part
will be the statement of objectives. That has held me up in the past
because I really don't like writing about myself. Granted, I write
about my life every day, but that is different. Or maybe it's not.
Maybe I'm just over-thinking it.
Either way, that is my goal for
tomorrow. Back in January I started messing around with a personal
statement so I'll have to look back at that and see if there is
anything useful. When I get my first draft roughed out I'll let my
mom look over it and send it to the librarian at school to get
feedback. She actually texted me today to see how the grad school
thing was going. So tomorrow I need to at least get a rough draft
written out. And possibly email the program director (whose email I
was given by the second person I emailed today) and see about the
emailed transcript. The first lady thought I would need to be
accepted into the program itself before I could take classes. It
would be nice if I just needed to be accepted at the college and then
take a class this summer, but that enrollment closes on June 1st
so that might be cutting it close. Enrollment for the Fall semester
closes July 1st,
and it would be nice if I could get everything in and actually
accepted for the Fall semester, rather than waiting even longer.
Other things from today. I
finished another cross stitch pattern, this a quote I saw on a
picture of Tom Hiddleston, so who knows where it actually came from:
“I can't buy your happiness. But I can buy you cupcakes, and let's
face it, that's pretty much the same thing.” A funny quote and I
like the layout I came up with. It'll be a fun one to make.
I also watched stuff. Several
YouTube videos and a handful of episodes of The
4400.
I've got four more episodes left in season two, and then two more
seasons after that. I want to start watching Supernatural,
something I tried doing months ago but I could only watch the first
episode because the second wouldn't show up. That might be one to
rent because it has eight seasons on Netflix and if I get sucked in I
would definitely go over my cable data limit. Tonight I watched The
LEGO Movie
and Thor: The
Dark World.
I saw most of each movie in bits and pieces while we had them at the
theater but never got a chance to see them all the way through. I
enjoyed both of them, The
LEGO Movie
more though, because it was really funny.
Now
I'm going to go to bed. Tomorrow I am going to wake up with
inspiration coursing through me so I can knock out my statement of
objectives.
