gRAD school bound?

So, Faye went with me to turn in my graduate school application to the Ga State College of Education. I'm applying to the School Psychology Master's program. I hope they'll want me because that's really where I want to go. When I get an aceeptance letter I can officially be excited about graduating because I have a next step. Mom wants me to work this summer. I probably should, but where? I do not intend to wait tables or flip burgers... or run a cash register/check out station. It's not that I'm above that, I'm just accustomed to office-y work and that's what I'm better suited to do. Hm... I would like to not be in Augusta this summer, but I don't think I have a choice at this point. Who's going to pay for me to live out here? It would be nice for Gabby to have her big sister home for one LAST summer. I can't believe it's my last summer as a semi-adult. I think that although graduate school will probably feel like I'm still in undergrad for a while (except for the courseload) I'm making a big next step in my life. I'll be that much closer to financial independence from my parents. Sure I know that a lot of my classmates will be making their own money and paying their own way right after they leave Tech, but I honestly don't feel behind in life. I have this feeling (I may have mentioned it before) that I will be married within 5 years... maybe that's more of a desire. 5 years will find me at almost 27 years old and hopefully working in some school system while taking night or weekend classses for my Ph.D.... or maybe I'll get my Ph.D in something besides School Psychology. I still want to counsel ultimately. I like that I have so many ideas and plans and want to do it all: school psychology, novelist, marriage and family therapist. I was thinking the other night how I no longer think BIG, dream BIG or pray BIG. I need to get back in the game. Maybe getting married as a part of a 5 year plan is part of that for me.

My God I feel awful today... check back sometime this weekend cuz I have more to say.
