Getting in to Grad School

      Well I'm not in yet, but...

      I got an interview! That's half the battle!

So there are two more phases:

1. The Individual Interview
2. The Group Interview

     I am feeling pretty good about this! Although this semester has just started, I already feel like my undergraduate experience is being neatly wrapped up, complete with a little bow.

     I remember when I first started college. I would listen to some of the other students with awe at their vast knowledge of so many things. They were able to pull a wide array of subjects in to nearly any conversation for a fairly interdisciplinary discussion.

     Now I am finding that I am that student. I'm able to incorporate various concepts, explain research, and connect different fields in to my conversations to solidify my argument in a way I never could before. I'm coming across concepts I am already familiar with in my coursework. That makes things so much easier to grasp. Having the ablility to comprehend what the point of an article is without having to struggle as much as I did even two years ago is an amazing feeling!

     My interview is set for crack-of-dawn A.M. the first week of March. I'll find out a couple of weeks after that whether or not I'm accepted. I still have a couple of schools I have to hear back from, but I would love to get in to this particular program!
