I started my new job and am finally done with training. I now work for another non-profit as a Development Officer (translation - I raise money) which is similar to my last job, but has more responsibility. The budget is larger, I have more responsibilities in raising revenue and the organization is on the ups not the downs. My last organization ( Read more... )

Well, the GRE sucked. I mean, truly sucked. It was harder than I expected and my score wasn't as good as I was hoping. But, it's not the be all and end all in getting into grad school. I am so glad that it's finally over. I can read the book that's been sitting on my bed stand for weeks - Prep. Devon's read it before me because I just didn't ( Read more... )

Well, I've hit the pedal to the metal. I'm officially studying my ass off for the GRE. I'm taking it on the 22nd of this month (between jobs thankfully). I'm nervous, but also confident that I won't completely suck at taking it. The class really helped so it was money well spent ( Read more... )

It's begun. I am officially beginning the process of searching for and applying to grad school. It's already exhausting but exciting at the same time. Currently I'm trying to decide between two different GRE prep courses - Kaplan's and Testmaster's. There are benefits to both that are unique. Kaplan has a moneyback guarantee that says you can ( Read more... )

I was as at bar on Saturday night and a friend told me about this clip. Worth watching all 3 minutes just for the end.

Sad but also very humorous. Way to go Kate!

When I was in elementary school I thought being in your mid-20's made you so old! I didn't think you were going to die the next day if you were that age, but it felt so far away. Now here I am, 24 and I don't feel that much wiser than when I was 10 years old. Sure, I have a BA, a job and all, but really, how much smarter does that make me? It was ( Read more... )
