Graduate School Here I Come

August 13, 2011

graduate school, osu, paying off debtI GOT IN TO GRAD SCHOOL!!!!

Yes folks, it’s true. The Ohio State University has accepted me into the College of Education: Teaching & Learning for a Masters Degree in Inclusive Education!!

I begin school on September 21st and I can not wait!!

There is much to be done before then. My list is long:

1. I need to secure financial aid/student loans.

2. Find an apartment (anyone want to co-sign for me?).

3. I, of course have to move up there.

4. I need to meet with an academic advisor to get my program laid out.

5. I also need to coordinate a parenting schedule with the kids father.

6. I may have to find child care for the boys when I have classes.

7. I need to find a job.

8. Need to purchase a couple of items for the apartment: dishes, pots for cooking and a couch.

I can not wait to accomplish all of these items. I am so very close to finally take a step forward! I can not wait!!

 

I also blog at A Five Star Life. I write about anything that comes to mind but try to focus on finding the good in daily life.

    Jessica – I know it’s a lot on your plate right now, but take a deep breath. Focus on one thing at a time and soon you’ll have everything checked off your list. Congrats – things are looking up!

    If you let me know an address I would be happy to send you plates/bowls/glasses.
    Recently divorced and they were a wedding present and I have no real desire to keep them. They were used for a little over a year…

      Thank you, that is so sweet of you. But it would cost you way too much to ship them. Ikea has a set of like 16 pieces for 10bucks. That will work for me until such time that I want to get decent stuff.

    Congrats!!!!!!! I had a feeling this is what would happen for you. I think this is a great step forward. :) I have an M.Ed. in another area. I think you will enjoy grad school. It can be quite a bit different than undergrad!

      Thanks Liz. I kinda want to get 2 Masters Degrees but not sure I can handle the work load, we’ll see. Coincidentally, it’s not a M. Ed. It’s consider a Masters of Arts. Such a strange program.
