Continuing Education

Well, I have decided to apply to College for post graduate studies in PR.... I've always had the idea in the back of my mind, but after the struggles I endured and those I put my Dean though to get my undergrad, I thought I'd never go back to school.

Then I started working 8:15am - 5:00pm, like wooooooah!
Summer was ok because I could go out and stumble out of bed hung, but felt great because I was wearing a pretty summer dress, or better yet, a pencil skirt and blouse. Now, we are in the dead of winter. I don't even toy with the idea of going out on a weekday, unless I stay sober and drive, boooooring. I got a talking to at work because I have been later and later at my desk in the mornings. I believe the novelty of a REAL JOB has worn off and I definitely can't see myself doing these early mornings for the rest of my life, or even the next 2 years for that matter.
Enter, my parents who tell me if I ever want to go back to school, they'll support me.... AMAZ! AND I JUST INHERITED A CAR, double bonus!

Now, I have applied to 3 programs with 5 different startdates, the earliest ones start in September. My only aprehension is that there is what sounds like extensive testing for all of the programs, all of which include, An interview, a 2 page writing assignment, and lastly A GRAMMAR TEST..... DARN!

Formal grammar is the bane of my existence!

I may have majored in German Language & Literature, but this was only because my verbal skills were outstanding (if I do say so). And with regards to grammar, the G-word, shudder, I am a fairly decent writer and editor, I just can't explain why/am not conscious of the formal rules. This I think is due to the hippy beaches schools I went to JK-grade 9. When I hit a grade 10 in private school I actually didn't even know what an essay was?!?! Today, I consider myself a person with fairly good writing skills, just at the moment, very rusty. I haven't written anything in a while except texts, emails mostly to friends and MSN, consequently I appear to have picked up on short form computer lingo to save myself from carpel tunnel syndrome. I have lost touch with capitals upon the start of a sentence, you instead of u, and forget punctuation other than periods (.).

Today is the day will commence my jedi training, MADLIBS and Shift button, here it cooooome!

First interview, this Friday @ Seneca.
