Aha and Middlesex

Aug 17, 2009 21:24

I am sitting her looking at the Postgraduate Prospectus. Of course it's too late to start this fall. And I wonder am I running away from my life if I go? or am I just embracing a new adventure? How will I pay for a plane ticket to get there? How will I live? Does my health insurance work there? I'll be all alone. Yeah, I really am thinking about it and worried about what might go wrong.
I can still take classes here. I hate where I work. I hate what I do. But it's a job. How will I get a job if I go to England? How do scholarships and/or loans work there for someone from the US? Why didn't they send me more information than this stupid book! lol
I won't have a car, a tv, my furniture. I won't have my dog, my dad, my nieces and nephews.
The prospectus keeps talking about a PGDip - this one is in Occupational Safety and Health Management. I assume this is like our PhD in the US. But my main interest is Psychology. This is what I wanted my doctorate in here in the US. There appear to be two of the PG (hopefully PhD) programs - one in Applied Psychology and one in Legal and Criminological Psychology. They also have research degrees in Project Management which interest me but not as much as the Psychology ones do.
Do I go? How can I go? I don't see a monetary way that I can. so do I start here? I hate not having a plan to execute. If I had a scholarship that would pay my whole school and books as well as the plane ticket over and back I would be gone in a heartbeat. I can get a job locally to pay for food and rent. At least I hope I could.
I would miss so much here, though. So much.
I honestly don't know what to do. I know that God can make the path perfectly clear by bringing the money. lol But things are seldom so easily solved. There isn't a big red easy button, is there?
I am really freakin' out. I know I need to sit back and breathe. This is the first time I have ever put to "paper" how I feel about it. I am praying for guidance.
