2 weeks left. Then Finals Week. I’m soooo ready to get out of here. I love it and I’ll miss it, but if I don’t get a break soon, I’m gonna lose it. I’m going home this weekend for my sister’s going-away party. She’s moving to Austin, Texas. She’s starting a job with an education non-profit (ironic since this is a job I’ve been considering), and then coming back to Cleveland in June for a weekend to get married. She just graduated from graduate school…it’s pretty crazy since this is someone I grew up with. She’s done with school and getting on with her life in the “real world�…I can’t even imagine that.
I’m not sure if I want to go to grad school right after I finish my undergrad. I think it really wore my sister out. She just didn’t enjoy it like she did her undergrad experience. She was going to get her Ph.D., but now she’s just burned out. There’s so many experiences I want to have in my life…I’m not sure if I should try to experience non-academic life for a little bit before I head to grad school. Because if I do, will I ever go back? And is grad school something I really need? Is it financially viable?
Clearly I have a lot to think about. But I certainly have time…(but not too much).
