gillman Once I pay for this application fee to Texas Tech (aka once my writing sample finally uploads... its taking a long time for a 12 page pdf), all of my applications will be done and all I will have to do is sit back.... I am a bit anxious about it, I will not lie. I have had a lot of friends and professors tell me that technical writing will be a good career. And that it is something I am good at and will find success in. But that will only happen if I can get into grad school. My friends are laughing, because the programs I'm applying to are filled mostly with adults going back to school for the pay raise. They think I'll be accepted easily because a 22 y/o in their program would make them look more Hip and Cool. It's nice to hear encouragement from them, but it doesn't mean much until I actually get accepted!
I'm sure I'll get into some, though. One of my letters of recommendation here at my undergrad uni is on the board to review the grad apps. So I know I've got at least someone in there who likes me!
I'm going over into AL this weekend with my partner to see some friends, and I'm excited. But I also have a lot of work to do and that will absolutely be on my mind. Which sucks, but I guess that's how things are.
I've created a stoat account. It's very empty so far, but I am hoping that I will find friends on there. I'm pretty lousy at making friends online, especially in places like discord. At least I can say I have it, though!
I think I've mentioned how unseasonably warm it is right now. It's unlocking a deep deep desire to be Out On The Water in me. Hoping that I can do something soon ease it. I may go out to the wildlife refuge on Monday and play around in the streams down one of the trails. It's not really what I'm looking for, but the water is crystal clear and the ground is soft and covered in pine needles. Great for walking barefoot.
Speaking of walking barefoot, my legs are almost healed from wearing the wrong shoes on Feb 2nd! My feet and legs are super sensitive, wearing different shoes for even an hour can land me in pain for over a week. I've been soaking them in the bath pretty often, and I'm finally starting to feel better. Hopefully they'll be pain-free after this weekend!
We shall see what's to become of me. I have a lot of good things in store, I just have to get to graduation! And it's close!! It's so close.
