After finding out two days ago that I'm going to be able to graduate next April, I can't get my eyes off the future. That's the terrible thing about being me: I'm going to be spending three of the next four months in England, but I'm already thinking way past that. Partially because the whole Field Studies system is kind of a pain in the tushie and making this whole thing turn into a lot more work than it should be, and partially because I'm fur-eaking out about the finances of it all. Yes, it's all going to be fine, but I want it to be as cheap as possible, and that's proving difficult (thanks to The Man, a.k.a. BYU, a.N.k.a. dear old uncle Brigham, but more like the registration office/field studies stupid set up). Anyways, I'm digressing from the actual point which is that I'm going to graduate and then I'm going to go to graduate school.
I've been shopping programs all day and let me tell you, it's quite a lot of fun. There are so many places I could go, so many different things I could focus on, so many different things I can do with the degrees I'm going to get. Muahahahahaha. Rhetoric? Composition? Lifewriting? Early Modern Texts? Provo? Virginia? Florida? England? Brussels? Masters? Master of Fine Arts? BA-to-PhD program? So many options!!! (And how legit would I be if I got my doctorate by 25? Answer: amazingly legit. That's what.)
I know this isn't an exciting blog post for all y'all, but I've got a relatively dull life, and everything else I could possibly talk about is either depressing, judgmental, overly personal, or not worth the effort of writing it up. Plus I've already written a monster blog post today for my field study blog, so I'm kind of burned out with words right now. Hopefully I'll get back into the habit before I head off across the pond... but I'll probably be busy and even more burned out there than I am here because I'll be writing like a bajillion hours a day. Whatever. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry this is boring... but whatever. This is me not really caring because REAL LIFE IS SO MUCH MORE FUN TO THINK ABOUT! :)
