I have now applied to be readmitted to UTA, I have applied to the University Studies program, I have applied for FAFSA (for son and myself). How I wish I could just go to school full-time--I'd be done by the end of the year if I could. Unemployment encourages education, but we still have to look for jobs, and it only lasts so long. DAMMIT I wish I had got my head together faster, got into school this semester. Dammit dammit dammit.
Regarding going on to get a masters in library science. Recently I've experienced some discouragement in that area, but I've decided to push past that. I don't want to work in a public school or a city library. In truth, what I want is the Masters of Arts in Library Science, due to its emphasis on research. I want to work at a university somewhere, or in some other situation where I can happily research amazing things. Specialize in an area or something. A thesis is required for the MALS, which initially made me scream and panic, but good grief, I am a writer, I love research--hello, what is wrong with me? Of course I can handle it. There is nothing else I want to do, but this. Oh and the writing thing, which is a given of course.
So many regrets in the past, but that's just part of life, I guess. At least this I can do something about, yes?
