Inauguration

Ok… ok. I suppose the title of this blog can be a little deceiving right now, considering I’m not in grad school yet.

Yes, I’m a filthy liar.

You see, I’ve decided to document my journey through the process of applying to grad school (and going to grad school… hopefully). I suppose I’m doing this for my own silly reason to keep me motivated, because so far I’ve realized that this whole process is a little too tedious for me. I want things to happen now God damn it! But yeah, no fairy godmother to poof me into school. I’ve got to do the legwork before anything actually happens.

I made the conscious decision during my senior year in college to take a year off and focus on work and what I really want to center on before picking the books up again. Having graduated three months ago with my degree, I came to the conclusion that “reality” sucks, and I secretly miss school. If that’s not nerd status, I don’t know what is. Fortunately, I was able to find a job literally a week after graduating, so I can’t really complain about being unemployed like a lot of my peers.

So inter-friends, I'll keep this one short. I thank you in advance for joining me on this journey. It’s going to be tough, but so is steak well done. (If you didn’t even smile at that one, you have no soul.)
