Well, I was not accepted to my first choice grad school and it has had me changing the way I think. Since I am not attending grad school in the immediate future I feel like I am able to live.
Since not getting accepted I have:
Worked on the website, at least a portion each day
(it looks much better)
Began a Blog with my friend
(Which now has almost as many post as this blog)
Outlined several programs that I need to have built for my Web site
Began looking at other grad programs
Started looking at houses to rent/buy
I consider all of these things to be positive and constructive. Additionally I am allowing myself to be excited about planning a wedding. Of course it will always be a big scary deal, but the idea of looking for a dress and picking out colors and flowers is now fun and interesting rather than horrifying and drudgery.
I have had several story ideas and comic ideas come to me in the past few months. Of course I write the idea down and never do any of the actual writing of the story. This is something that I hope to rectify. It is on my list of things that I want to get accomplished. (haha) In honesty I need to work on some of the ideas if for no other reason than to strengthen my portfolio. I also need to do that all important thing and get published. No small feat.
It was my birthday this week. I know my age plays no role in what I do but I really thought I would be in a different place by now. I had different plans for myself. I was going to already have a masters degree and be working on a Phd by now... and in a year I thought I would be dead. Thing change. Now I know that neither of those things are on the horizon. (except the dying, how knows.) Now that sentiment reminds me how emo I was when I was younger. It is both refreshing and terrifying.
I am strongly considering a path in psychology as of late. I think I would make a good councilor. All thoughts, all considerations.
