PhD's and Lent.
Part of the reason I am compelled to write this is because of my silly new theme. It makes me feel like my LJ is special.
Lately I've been thinking a lot about applying to PhD programs, and I figure "why not?" This is a perfect time in my life to apply: I will have a master's degree in a year and a half, I am passionate about learning more in the subjects of theology and ethics, and I'm capable of doing it. I just feel it. And I feel it almost viscerally.
To this end, I'll be spending all of my Spring Break (March 2-6) in Atlanta. I'm trying to knock down the doors of some profs at Emory, meet with some old profs at Agnes Scott, and generally make myself get out there. I'm scared as hell, and it's kinda cool.
On another note, welcome to Lent! My lenten resolution is not going so well, considering I've spent almost all today with an ANTM marathon on Bravo, but I intend to keep my TV turned off during Lent (with the exception of one hour per night), because I realized that I spent way too much time relying on the TV for comfort and company.
But now, my apartment is messy, and I need it to be cleaner. I've been lurking on Livejournal for the past few months, and wanted to stop in and say hello. Hello.
