oh jeeze!
So earlier this month I applied to College. Yep I know, I'm at that age now where most people are finishing up their MASTERS, but what can I say, I'm a late bloomer. It took me a real long damn time to figure out what I want to do with my life, and I still reserve the right to change my mind. I've applied to a college program that is the first stepping stone to my Psychology Bachelor, it's a Sociology/Psychology Diploma with the ambiguous title Community Studies. If I get through that, there is a hope in hell that a reputable Psychology program might accept me. and then if I get my Bachelors from such a program, I might get accepted into a Masters somewhere. If I like that and feel emotionally competent enough, I might attempt to get my doctorate. but that's about 10 years down the line, so let's cross that bridge when we come to it, eh?
Right now, I'm trying every single day NOT TO FREAK OUT!
As a mature student - which unfortunately means a student who never graduated high school, not a student who is really cool and serious and grown up for her tender 23 years - damn... I still have a pre-requisite english exam to pass. should be a piece of cake, but it's two months away, and ONLY AFTER I'm evaluated on that, will I know if I've been accepted into the program.
And being accepted into the program will put me into a world of financial worry for the next decade or so, so you see where I'm a bit stressed here. It's not the college program, as much as the 4-8 subsequent years of university. and the cost of living while I'm at it.
acceptance letters come out in the spring. i wonder how many more posts like this we'll see between now and then?
