graduation day Sunday December 19
today is the last day i'll be using this movable type category "school" for awhile. i say "awhile" simply because grad school is on the horizon; i don't have plans yet, but my mom said it well when she suggested that i couldn't be the only one without a master's degree of some sort.
i know she was joking, and if i chose to not pursue a graduate-level degree, she would be equally supportive. but i do know her recommendation is to get one.
i feel as though i would want to get one because it would give me a real chance to learn. i learned a lot in college, certainly, but undergraduate education is about a lot more than just your major. it's about life, and figuring out the parts of it that aren't so clear. sure, some people have their lives all planned out, or planned out for them by their parents, but i have had the luxury of never having such pressure.
at any rate, graduate school is far more focused, and as such, i believe it is possible to be more useful as a scholar at a graduate level, and you get to teach or at least TA, and hey, that's a bonus. just ask ashley.
it'll be a few years for me, probably. but i'll be there, eventually. where, well, that i don't have the answer to.
