I really can't stay away.

This is me checking out where/when I can take the GRE this summer.

Yeah, I figure there's a greater-than-50%-chance I'm gonna be in Knoxville in fall 2007 (or possibly 2008, depending on how the next eight months go job-wise), starting an MLIS program that will theoretically lead to either public or reference librarianship. They require GRE scores from a test taken at least one semester before application (which is, I believe, in April).

Ack ack ack. When did I start wanting to become a grad student? Am I insane?

And should it be worrying me that my first thought upon deciding (pretty much) on this course of action is, "Wheee, I'll have access to a university library and online resources again!"? I think my love for JSTOR borders on the mentally unstable.

Also, Virtual ScaperCon. Oh, yes.

When did I start wanting to become a grad student? Am I insane?

Heh. Oh, how frequently these same words have passed my lips! And because it's been 13 (!) years now since I graduated, going back to school feels like moving to another planet. I don't remember how that world worked, so much, and even if I do, it's all changed a whole lot since then, I'm sure. And making it even worse, there's no guarantee of an MFA helping me get any sort of job ever, so it may just end up being three letters that go on a resumé and hopefully earn me more money doing...whatever it is I end up doing.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely going with the insanity plea for myself. You, on the other hand, may not be quite as stark raving mad. ;)

Heh. Maybe. ;)
