is it terrible that i am going to go to get my masters so i can keep avoiding the real world?
the benefits of grad school:
i still get cheap birth control
i can avoid paying back student loans
i would get paid about twice as much as i make now to be a TA and work an extra 8-10 hours in the library
i don't have to try to find a new/real job
i don't have to try to move back to columbus with a car that can't go more than 20 minutes without overheating
sounds like a plan to me. also, grad school will be free and i'll get the ta job, so, that's pretty convincing. i just hope i don't have to keep dr. bagatto as my advisor, i hate him so much. maybe paco will take me on since i am familiar with zebrafish and am taking herpetology with him this summer.
who knows, i'm just happy to avoid the real world as long as possible.
and the ta position would mean i could get a way nicer apartment, mel was telling me about her apartment and it sounds really nice. the 1 bedroom is slightly pricier though, if i stay here rent will be $600 and rent in her building for a 1 bedroom is $665. buuut, the apartment is waaay bigger, ours is 611 sq. ft. and the other one is 1000! plus, it has a dishwasher, is closer to school, has central AC, and free laundry.
sounds like a plan to me.
