another one bites the dust

as you can tell by the title, it's that time of year; when disgruntled employees in admissions offices worldwide finally get the nerve and courage to pack up their travel packs for the last time and quit. i was desperately hoping that this would be my year to chuck the deuces at admissions life (or at least my current admissions office), but my time has not arrived. so far we've had three admissions counselors leave. two are going to grad school and one is simply moving to a different department.

all this turnover has got me to thinking about my own future....yeah, after two years, i'm finally taking serious thought to the future. and i'm thinking i should finally do what i've always wanted to do and write professionally. although writing is not something you necessarily need to go to school to do, i have decided to get a masters in creative writing. i honestly never thought of myself as ever going back to school to get my masters, but with some time and thought and my little pay, i figure i have nothing to lose and everything to gain. picture it, me as a grad student!

so, i've bought my kaplan GRE study guides and i've realized that i do not remember any math! it's funny....i've always been fairly decent at math, but now that i am reviewing basic arithmetic and algebra i am seeing that this GRE is going to be a loooong road!
