Time to Get Schooled
After years of hemming 'n hawing, hawing 'n hemming, coming up with every excuse imaginable why I couldn't do it, why I couldn't afford it, why I couldn't justify the expense, why the timing wasn't right, why I wasn't sure it was what I really wanted to do...I'm finally going to grad school this fall! Yup, for reals. Last Thursday I got accepted to Lewis & Clark's MA in Counseling Psych program with a specialization in Addictions Treatment. I'm still waiting to hear back about the app I put in for Portland State's MSW program but I've already decided on Lewis & Clark. An acceptance to PSU would just be the icing on the cake since then I could brag that I had a 100% acceptance rate for my grad school apps ;)
Lewis & Clark is spendy, I'm well aware, but I'm busting my butt applying for scholarships and hopefully this will reap some minor financial rewards. $500 here, $1,000 there...it all adds up. Plus I still have a good chunk of my Americorps education award to use.
Life is good, life is grand. The weather is beautiful, it's closing in on seven months with my awesome girlfriend, I had a super fun trip to Seattle last weekend, I'll be 30 before I know it (three months away! eek!), my newish band - Slim & The Competitive Eater - is playing our first show ever on April 18th with Bitch and Swan Island, and I'm insanely excited to be starting school again in the fall.
Tell me about awesome things in your life. I want to hear 'em. Really.
