I am nearing the end of my first year in graduate school. So far I believe I've made the right choice coming to Las Vegas. It has definitely been quite the experience, and has taught me some things I might not have learned had I stayed home in Oregon or gone somewhere a little more.. 'safe'. I definitely leaped outside of my comfort zone by moving to Las Vegas. And I am definitely not a fan of the desert, but at least I can say I did it right?
I have started doing a lot of research for the next step of life. I know I am not finished with school but I am not sure what to study. I am thinking I will apply to 10 different schools with a wide range of programs, and will select whoever offers me the best package (like the scholarship I received here at UNLV). So far I am considering U of O, OSU, PSU, CSU, WSU, SU, UW, a few in Canada.. and the list continues. I might get another Masters degree -- in something different like sociology, social work, public administration, conflict dispute and resolution, etc. Or I might apply to a program that offers a graduate certificates in Non-Profit Management. OR I may just head straight toward a PhD. Anyway, I will apply to all of the above and go with whoever offers me the best package.
Right now I am single.. un-attached from any sort of relationship, free of big payments like mortgage etc.. I migth as well take advantage of the fact that the world is at my feet -- and do whatever it is I please while I am free of committment.
As long as I keep on the straight and narrow...
