Apply yourself

I did it--I finally applied for a master's program. Today I sent in my application, $$, and transcripts for the Masters of Social Work program at the University of Oklahoma. It will pain me to be a Sooner, but I suppose there are worse things in life...
It's about time I got a master's degree, since I dropped out of my first one several years ago. I know that in time I'll want a job change (preferably something with more money). I'm also the only child without a graduate degree and there is a bit of pressure from my stepdad to "do something." Ok ok....I just can't decide what I want to be when I grow up. I chose the MSW because I like social work, I'm good at it, and I'm pretty sure I can handle the program. Some other programs were ruled out because they required math, required the GRE, or reading their descriptions put me to sleep. If I get in I'll go part time to classes for two years and then spend my third year in a practicum. I have no idea how I'm going to financially do all this but I'll worry about that later.

Let's just hope I get accepted....stay tuned.....................
