So today I decided to pull out my books on grad schools and all the information I had sent to me. I looked everything over and kind of realized that I can do it. Sure, I'm worried about my grades and stuff, but I think that if I can do really well on the GRE (which I think I can because I have a while to study and it's alot easier now that I don't have homework) and do well with my personal statement and recommendations that my grades won't matter so much. My grades weren't horrible the last two years, which are really all that matters, actually the first year is the only consistently bad year for grades, but I do have one or two bad ones that I'm sure they'll notice. But I just hope everything else can outshine that. Right now I'm optimistic about it and excited, I really do like school so I'm excited for that too. I think it'll be way better than undergrad too because it will be all applications that I would actually use, instead of memorizing useless items.
I really like my new job. Whenever I'm not there I keep thinking about how I don't want to go back to work, just because I got into the habit of hating to go to work, but when I'm there I really enjoy it.
Nothing really insightful today, just obviously statements of what is happening. I would apply for grad school in January, and know their decision by April. Then I would have several months to wait until I would enroll in Sept. I hope it works out.
