A few months ago I applied to a master’s program at Ole Miss. I need to re-take the GRE, but they’re granting me conditional admission so that I can start this Fall. Which they just told me today. Yippee. Or not.
School starts Monday. I am so not ready.
I need to:
- Clean my house. I can’t go back to school with a cluttered house/desk/mind. I will work like a Hebrew slave this week to get at least two of the aforementioned things uncluttered.
- Buy books. So not in the budget. Guess we’ll eat PB&J until October.
- Fix computer/buy a new computer. Again, so not in the budget. Make that PB&J until November . . .
- Find someone to watch my child. Umm yeah, I need childcare twice a week for the next 4 months and then once a week for another year and a half. What was I saying about a budget????? We’ll be eating PB&J until Lovegirl’s freshman year!!
I am rapidly approaching freak-out mode! I’d better call Smoochy and see if he’s got any words of wisdom or suggestions.
You can do it!! You’ll be so glad that you did. I’m sure you’ll figure out all of the small details in order to make it work, even if you do have to eat PB&J!
YAY school!! Check your email, I have some childcare suggestions. What is your master’s gonna be in?
Thanks for the support y’all. I am really not feeling this, but hope that changes once I get back in the swing of things. I don’t know why I do this – I’ve been talking about going back to school, but now that it is time, I’m “blah” about it.
PSerendipity – this one is in Higher Ed. Administration with a concentration in Student Services.
this is fate! I just saw some recipes for PB&J, somewhere, but i can’t find them now. and yes, it makes it easier when the house is in order but i think once you get in the groove of going to class it’ll be all gravy.
Congratulations! This is fantastic news! I’m so happy for you and hey, PB & J is already a staple over here. Prices are crazy, aren’t they?
