Education and Frustration
Where I stand. I'm trying not to be bitter. So if I sound that way, I apologize. I recently failed to get accepted into a graduate program that I really wanted to get into. I feel that I'm qualified and understand their reasoning. I have applied to other schools as well. However, I seriously thinking about hanging it up. I cannot afford to take post bat classes. So what to do now? Well I'm considering not going to graduate school at all. I have a chance to work a decent job that will not interfere with my evenings and I also have a chance to do quite a bit of substitute teaching. I really don't want to get my teaching certificate, for I have a hard time dealing with authority. I'm sure as hell not going to be teaching toward a test. I really want to take some time to refocus and build stronger writing skills and get better at grammar and diction. I had this great idea. Why not become purely self taught. Nothing against higher education, and I have all the respect
