Baby steps

I have completed my online graduate school application for NMSU. I paid the $30 application fee. I am in the process of applying for graduate assistantship. I sent one recommendation form over email to a family friend. Another, intended for my supervisor at the YMCA, will hopefully be sent via fax tomorrow. The third will be given to my independent study professor within the next three days. I have decided which research paper to use as my sample of scholarly writing. I intend to begin my letter of intent within the next three days. I have filled out my application for financial assistance for the assistantship. Tomorrow I will have my transcript sent to the correct department.

But the question still remains......

What do I want to do after I graduate in May?

Baby steps. I'm not going to get anywhere or open doors of opportunity for myself if I sit around waiting for the answer to come to me. Hence the application for the graduate program at NMSU. It's the easiest academic option so far and figure if I just apply, no harm can be done. Just because I apply and, granted, get accepted, there's no need to commit just yet.

We'll see when we get there.
