And So it Continues...

I decided to make a new blog because unfortunately I am no longer in Korea. Hell I am no longer in Asia period. Therefore I figured I would begin again and chronicle the ups and downs involved with transitioning back into living life in the U.S., continuing my education in graduate school and being newly single scoping out whatever kind of dating scene Tennessee claims to have(pessimistic about that one).

I can't say I am 100% happy about being back in the US of A. I'm happy to see family and catch up with old friends. But I miss having a job, and feeling like I know where I belong. I still feel like a fish out of water even without the language barrier. Not to mention I am currently homeless. Yes people..HOMELESS. Oh don't get me wrong I have a place to stay. I'm currently living with my grandma at her house. It's not uncomfortable or anything. I love her dearly and she I. But after living on my own for 1yr+ I like having my own space to do with as I please. Hopefully within the next week or so I will be able to show everyone my new digs...

However, today my mind wasn't worried about my lack of a bedroom. No. I was more focused on school. Because of my quick decision to try to get into grad school by the October session I had less than 3 weeks to apply, get references, get transcripts, write a personal statement, do an interview, take the MAT(Miller's Analogies Test) and figure out financial aid. BUT....I pulled it off. I was accepted last Friday and I start today at 5pm sharp. In fact, today I could finally register fully and check my financial aid status. I'm going to come out of this more in debt than before...but I'll worry about that on another day. Today is the mad dash to get books, binders and try not to be nervous that I'll probably be one of the youngest in the program. I'm really excited as well so I will focus on that...well...I'll try...
