Grad School/Life

I guess I should update since I haven't posted since July. (I really need to keep up with this blog, but I honestly don't know who reads it...)

I started a new chapter in my academic career August 25th. My first Grad class was amazing! I'm taking 18th Century Early American Lit. with Dr. Day (one of my favorite professors) and I have so much fun! I love discussing literature! And it seems like every time I read/discuss literature I find out something new about myself. That's why I love literature so much, because I truly feel like I grow as a human being because of it.

I'm also taking Educational Research and Modern Literary Criticism. I'm extremely nervous about Grad classes, and I'm actually reading everything at least a day in advance and making sure I don't procrastinate. I was the world's worst procrastinator as an undergrad, and I know that I absolutely CANNOT do that as a graduate student. I reeeeaaaaalllllly want to make all A's this semester! Actually I would love to get all A's in my entire Master's program! That would be bomb! ---> Late 90's colloquialism

I also realized that I hate most education classes, so next semester I'm changing my program to Library Science. I would love to become a librarian at a University, but if that doesn't work out, I will probably teach somewhere. I still love teaching, I just dislike the education classes at EKU.

Work has been stressful every since school started, but it's beginning to slow down. It's also not as stressful now that the floor stalker may have been taken care of. But, I found out today that this person has called people several times today and was seen on the floor last night! This person is the closest I've gotten to a stalker of my own, so it creeped me out major. Hopefully I will never have to deal with this person on my own! I'm not sure how I would handle that situation.

I am dying to get new makeup, new clothes, (semi)new car, and a new computer. Hopefully one day I will be able to get all of these things. Maybe this winter I will finally be able to get some new makeup and clothes....

Guess what? I need to lose weight! I need to get my butt in the gym ASAP! I feel so gross. :(
I need to be more disciplined. Ugh.

Until next time! (month!)
