I need something to do. I'm craving a new goal (as if wedding planning isn't enough). So, I'm applying for grad school; two actually. The first is through MU. It's a library media specialist teaching certification. I would get to spend my days in an elementary (hopefully) school library, reading children's books...my favorite! Oh and you can't beat free summers! They accept 12 people a year...so that only leaves 11 spots for the rest of the country. Yikes.
The other is a new creative writing program at UMKC. I could choose a focal point in fiction or screenwriting. Too exciting! But, at the end of the program you have to have a completed work, from your focus area, and defend it in front of a panel of professors. Talk about nerve-wracking.
After the GRE and application fees I probably won't be able to afford grad school anyway. But I feel like I'm so much better than a low-paying data entry job. I can't live stuffed in a silent cubicle day after day. There has to be something more. I know God has a bigger purpose for me and I intend to find out what it is. But until then, the clicking of keyboards and hum of the air conditioner will just have to suffice.
