6. I think we all should take the summer to sit, drink, and read only things that make us happy.
When do you start library school?

10. Try New College? Alabama doesn't have a grad program but I think Florida NC does.
Of course there is California New College too.

11. Well, I'm moving to Utah, which does have a lot of good dino studies @ UofU
The problem? I won't be a resident and there's no way I can afford grad school right now.

Hooray for my 60K student loans!

13. What are you studying?
I'm still an undergrad, but I'll be doing the grad school application fun next year. *sigh*

Good luck. Only 18 days left myself. :hi:

15. I'm finishing my first year of working on my Masters in Library and Information Studies
Good luck to you too. :hi:
So far it has just been this one class that makes me want to jump up from my desk and run screaming down the hall. I am told this is normal.

18. We're kind of in similar fields, then.
I'll be applying to Museum Studies and/or Public History programs in the fall with an emphasis on collections management, and I'm doing an internship at our history museum's archives this summer. We shall see...:crazy:

Hang in there...it'll end eventually, I guess, though it sure doesn't feel like it. :)

14. Tell me about it.
Not in grad school, but nursing school. I graduate next month and have a job that starts in June and my income will um... triple! Still though, the waiting, the work, and the stress. I'm thinking about grad school, but not much yet. I'll give myself a year or so first of working.

17. I already have a couple of my books from this semester on sale at amazon.
Man, nursing school. You are so brave, I tried but I could never do it.

21. It's like boot camp
for your mind and emotions.

They work you in medicine (med school or nursing school) that's for sure. No excuses, just know it and get it done is the attitude of the instructors.



Good luck to you too. I promised myself a masters when I was young. I think I'll probably get there eventually. :)
