If you haven't noticed I haven't been blogging as often. There's a reason for that. I am extremly busy. I work full time. I am in the process of creating programs for teenagers in Flatbush. I also am working on community outreach, making posters on Canva, reading books on adhd and autism so I can build a neurodivergent program, and attending all these trainings. As well as working on a YA banned book display and presentation.
I have been very stressed out because I was filling out all this paperwork in order to start grad school in the fall. My face broke out from all my stress. One of the many joys of having an autoimmune disease. It was worth all the stress. You are looking at a new graduate student. I researched for three weeks before I started applying to schools. My first choice was University at Albany. My second choice was University at Buffalo. My third was Queen's College. I did the applications for Albany and Buffalo. But I did not have to do the application for Queen's College. I was accepted into my first choice. I had to decline Buffalo. Last Friday, I had a call with my graduate counselor. She adviced me what classes I should take. So far, I am taking three online classes. I may drop one since I work full time. It's a lot of coursework. I do not want to fail. I want a to have a high gpa like the high achiever that I am. This morning I selected my classes. I am all good to go. Now I need to know how I will pay for school. Luckily, they have a payment plan. I applied for FAFSA, but they do not give grad students any help. FAFSA is for undergrads. I'll figure something out. I always do. I am very resourceful. Afterall, being a librarian is what I was meant to do. I will not let anything get in my way.
Which leads to my next topic. Once I start grad school I will not be able to hang out as much or go to shows. Maryland Death Fest will probably be the only thing I go to. I will need to focus all my energies into my school work and my career. The course is a year. But, I want to take my time. So, it'll probably be more like two years. You guys can live without seeing me for two years. I'll just keep updating everyone through my blog.
I do not want to quit writing my blog. I also want to do a good job. Not a mediocre job. If I do not post for weeks. I'm not depressed or off my meds like last time. I am either: 1. Busy 2. Burned out and Tired 3. I want to write with passion. If, I am not feeling well or have no idea what to write then I will brainstorm or research. I just started reading Lords of Chaos. I will be writing a review on this book when I am done with it. Most of my posts will be centered around books or music. Because that is what keeps me sane when I am stressed out.
And now I depart with some comic relief I found. These are just two funny memes that made me laugh. Let's break up the seriousness.
I love Dune so much that it was my first display. I also love Monty Python as you all know. So here is some comedy gold. It still relates to books.
