sisabetSo, yesterday I am awakened by my sister at the door. And she had a check for my rent, soooo that freakout has been avoided. Wow. I am really, extremely, amazingly lucky and have been getting by on that for a very long time now. But, yeah - rent for this month is in the bank and I am relieved and apparently staying put for a while just to see if this can work out.
My new job is wonderful and terrible at the same time *but* the terrible is also part of what makes it wonderful, if that makes any sense at all. It barely makes sense to me, but you know, sometimes I am slow on the uptake. I'm also starting to work on applying to grad school - the deadline is July, but some of the requirements are freaking me out - like a letter of reference from one of my professors. I graduated college 10 years ago. I was an undergrad in a VERY popular major - even if I was slightly memorable, I can't expect anyone to remember me enough to write a letter of reference for me. Hell, I wouldn't feel comfortable applying for a spot in the program based on an assessment of my academic performance ten years ago. I am a very different person now.
I've also got to take the GRE. I took the GRE years ago, maybe 6 or 7? I had Sid, so it was at some point in Sid's lifetime and I had really good scores. I suppose that I have to take the GRE again, though which means I am gonna have to remember math. You know what? Eight years ago this would have been a huge worrier, but now I can just pretend I am researching for an SGA fic in my head. Math sometimes leads to smut and I have fandom to thank for that. YAY motivation.
Also? I cannot BELIEVE I am considering going back to school. I can't believe I am considering a grad program at my alma mater. This is like a terrible idea, except maybe it really isn't. There is a part-time curriculum that will get me my Master's in Social Work in three years. It wouldn't be as if I was taking a class for which I had no aptitude. It wouldn't be as if I was forcing myself to apply my talents to something that they just didn't fit. This is stuff I really dig. This is stuff that I can do and that comes fairly naturally and I find it all incredibly interesting. This could be really really good.
Oh, god they want volunteer hours! I am soooo freaking lazy.
