Studying

Grad school.

It calls to me like destiny and it seems I'm bound to go.  I've already made up my mind where, what for, and how much I'm going to have to spend on this venture.

I had finally decided that this was thing to do.  Exactly what would suit me best at this season in my life.  I was all ready to jump in with both feet.

And then, the recruiter from my school of choice informed me of a little test called the GRE.  

Call me naive, but I'd never heard of it before.  Never knew such an exam could even exist.

So, as it turns out, before I can go to grad school, I have to sit for this exam...like the SATs....like I didn't already earn a bachelors degree....like I'm not about to spend $30,000 to go back to school.

So, Friend bought this for me last night:

Notice how Charles snuck into this picture?

I'll admit, digging into nearly 600 pages of preparatory reading for a standardized test that includes, of all things, math, is not really how I want to spend my free time over the next three months.

But, it seems my course is set if I plan to go back to school in the fall.
