Need a little hep here
I know that the last entry I made had a little thing at the end about how the next entry would be my grad school essay so that I could get some feedback. So this is not that essay. I don't have that essay. I bairly even have the first paragraph of that essay. I am stuck. The question that I am to answer with this essay is what I would like to do with my life and how would grad school help me do that. This is an easy answer for me. I want to be a college professor and I can not do that without a graduate degree. All I want is to be in school, around people who want to learn and explore the world of political science. I am not made for the business world, it does not make any sense to me. I feel like a fish out of water here. When I am in school, writting papers, doing research, reading papers - thats when I feel like I am home. I know you are gonna say well there you go...what's the problem you just gave a great answer. Yes. But I don't want to write some sappy story about the first time I saw the ivy covered walls of Harvard and longed to sit out on the lawn discussing Marx on sunny spring afternoons with a professor in a cordaroy blazer, staying up late late at night debating the validity of the neo-liberal economic model (not valid) and spending my days ensconced in the soft embrace of esoteric knowledge. This is where I keep ending up though. I think this is one of those times when I am supposed to be using an outline but really - who the hell has time to deal with something so damn archaic.
I should also mention that the cutoff date to apply is Feb 1st so I am working under just a bit of a time crunch.
