Grad School, maybe???

Just when you think you have had enough...you go back for more. Yup, you got it, Jamie and I are thinking about going back for grad school next fall. I've done my homework, found out the requirements (which surprisingly we both excede) and I am actively working to be admitted to an online nurse practioner program next fall. So now the search begins for financial aid, etc... Jamie, lucky dog, actually has a coworker who is interested in going to school with him so they can work together on their masters work. For those of you who know my husband I'm sure you can understand me when I say, who would have thought Jamie might actually go to grad school!!!! I'm so proud of him!! Just for expressing an interest and actively trying to improve his education!! Jamie was so bored in undergrad because he knew so much of the material that he was really not challenged in a lot of his classes. I believe though that this will be different. To me, grad school is nothing like undergrad. You're studying in your area of interest, you only have 2 years to complete instead of 4, the course loads are much lighter, and you have people of similar interests in your classes. So I'm kind of excited about it. Of course we have to be accepted, get financial aid, etc... but we're actively looking now so I'm encouraged. Wish me luck!!!

Woo Hoo! Go for it! It's a little crazy when you start, but it's mighty rewarding when it's all said and done. :)
