So, I知 in probably the hardest part of the graduate school process now. Waiting to see where I get accepted. I thought the application process was hard but waiting is making me nervous and anxious. I graduate in May and right now have no idea where I値l be this summer. I usually like to have life planned out but I guess I値l have to wait this one out.

I知 in the process of applying for assistantships. So what is an assistantship you may ask. An assistantship is basically a job at the college. But its way better than just a job in that you get anywhere from 50 to 100% of your tuition for free. Also, the schools that I have been looking at offer a stipend during the semester of $1,500 to $2,500. The assistantships vary by college, so it痴 a good idea to research these along with other important things when searching for a college. Hopefully next month when I write to you, I値l know where I値l be this summer!
