azuritewings | Life & Academics Talk - Application Sumbitted! (Reply)

With a little push, I finally managed to get my butt in gear and submitted the remaining parts, essay included, for my application to grad school. I really hope I get in but at the same time I'm exceedingly nervous. I hope I can manage my time well enough. I should be able to as I'd be able to make it to my classes without much trouble and still be able to have D&D on Wednesdays (in-person classes are Monday & Thursday). I know I can't do straight online courses which is why I've opted to do the hybrid option. I'm planning on taking one or two classes so that would mean I'd graduate in 2-2.5 years. It's going to cost $30k to do the whole program which is going to be a struggle because I've got to take out loans to do it. But I have to remind myself that it's going to be worth it in the end. It means I can get a full-time, and higher paying, library position and be officially called a real librarian.

I want to be able to survive on my own (for the most part). I want to not have to rely on my mom to help me pay for my health insurance and other medical expenses. I want to not have to worry about being able to afford things I need. But we'll see how things go.

As I mentioned in a previous entry, I also applied to the full-time position at work so I'm hoping I get that as well. I need all the luck I can get at this point.
