american
so i would presume or at least would like to presume that at least most of you reading this know by now that i didn't end up going to london this year for graduate school....long story short there was a huge financial crisis, practically no parental support/help either financially or otherwise & i had a ridiculously hard time when i was trying to find a place to live there this summer.
in the meantime i have been working @ the top bankruptcy law firm in the state & applying for graduate schools round two, this time in the states.
i had been saving up loads of my monies but recently spent most of my savings on the most beautiful computer ever.
je t'aime my macbook <3
*teehee*
anyway, the subject of this post! i am submitting the 1st of 8 applications early next week & wanted to share it with the livejournal world! this of course being my application to american university in washington dc. i am applying to their ma-international peace & conflict resolution program. i'm just putting the finishing touches on my statement of purpose this weekend & i will be ready to ship it off monday or tuesday!!
here is a list of the other schools i am applying to:
depaul university- women's & gender studies
sarah lawrence college- women's history
st. johns-women's & gender studies
columbia-liberal studies, concentrating in human rights studies
duquesne university-conflict resolution & peace studies
loyola university-chicago-women's & gender studies
roosevelt-women's & gender studies
so there you have it
depaul & sarah lawrence are my top 2
*sigh* fingers crossed...
i just need to finish up essays & such & i'll be done with everything and i just cant fucking wait to get them out of here & out of my hands...
part of me feels like i am honestly not going to get in anywhere, i mean i'm not kidding myself those are all extremely prestigious schools & who knows what will happen...
but if school doesn't happen now, i'm going to start looking for lawfirm jobs in chicago for the fall, i've already started looking @studios there.
i'm ready to start my life
to move to the next step
to find something real with a person i want to spend if not the rest of my life with, for a very long time
im ready i am
2008 is the year of change
new school (maybe)
new city (definitely)
new me (20lbs thinner i hope!!)
new everything <3
