Putting My Career Change on Hold
Sheldon: Leonard is upstairs right now with my archenemy.
Penny: Your archenemy?
Sheldon: Yes: the Dr. Doom to my Mr. Fantastic, the Dr. Octopus to my Spiderman, the Dr. Sivana to my Captain Marvel…
Penny: OK, I get it, I get it…
Sheldon: You know, it’s amazing how many supervillains have advanced degrees. Graduate schools should do a better job of screening those people out. -The Big Bang Theory

This week I got accepted into graduate school (yay!) and spent about a day celebrating. Then reality set in.

I spent the afternoon organizing office supplies and printing out documents to send to clients. I don’t mind helping out, but I was so bored I wanted to pull my hair out. I’m pretty sure time actually ticked backwards.

So I’ve taken the first step and applied for financial aid for the spring semester, and I’m working on my graduate application. For those of you who have done this, pointers PLEASE!
