The Call of the Earth Mother
Dare I say it? Dare I say that I feel some spiritual force calling me to return to it in someway? It's been happening over the past few days, and I get like this. I look out across the stars and feel like something calls for me wondering if there is more to the world...to life than just what materialism gives us. I have always said, though, if any ( Read more... ) -
A Lazy Weekend...
I procrastinated a lot this weekend. I got done what I had but other things I should be working on have been left by the way side. I have been so bogged down lately, I needed a break even though I should be doing research and I should be doing Grad School stuff but my Senior Seminar isn't due until Nov. 23rd and I am waiting on letters of ( Read more... ) -
It's Amazing the effect of Savage Garden and Darren Hayes has...
It is still amazing how much Darren Hayes' music has an effect on my life. I'm sitting here working on my outline for my Biology Seminar and I am listening to Darren Hayes and Savage Garden. I grew up with Savage Garden and once the band split, I followed Darren Hayes into his solo career. I just think it's amazing how much his music has a power ( Read more... ) -
More Graduate Stuff
Bet you are tired of the similar subject lines but it is what has been predominantly on my mind though. Oregon State isn't looking while Penn State is looking up and I may even get excepted into UF but we'll see. The fear of not getting into Graduate School is always looming over my head. I am kind of worried what would happen if I don't get it and ( Read more... ) -
Possible Bite Amid So Many Declines
Well, I have a possible bite from a profressor from Penn State but it is still in the works and I may have to switch from Ecology to Geography but I still will be doing wetlands restoration, just a bit different perspective really. This is a glimmer of hope since I have been rejected so many times because of people having a lack of funding. It is ( Read more... ) -
The Ardous Journey has began...
I have started to applying to Graduate schools...well, kind of. I have started to send out emails to professors and such to see if one is willing to advise me. We will see. I am really worried that I won't catch anyone's eye and I won't get anywhere. I have sent emails to all the professors that looked interesting in OSU and UF and only one has ( Read more... ) -
An Update Is Needed
Well, I am here watching Planet Earth checking my stuff so I thought I would do a long overdue update. The summer is coming to an end and my senior year of college is about to begin. I am having mixed feelings about it. It has definitely been fun but that does not prevent me from being restless. School has never been really hard for me but it has ( Read more... ) -
Oregon State University
Found a new school to go to and I believe I could really get into this one and they have great programs but the problem is that they are clear across the country on the other coast. Oregon State University looks really promising though and I love their programs. It isn't exactly ecology but wildlife science and it has to do with another aspect of ( Read more... ) -
Duke University?
I have been talking to my old ecology professor and it seems she really wants me to go to Duke University out of all the schools I want to go to. For me, this has instilled a huge drive to get into that school. It is ranked third in ecological studies and the ecology department is not in the bio department but it is own department (which is partly ( Read more... ) -
I have chosen to bite the bullet...
So I have chosen to bite the bullet and take the GRE Biology Subject Test. After my online class is done, I'm going to start studying for the GRE General test once my online class is done and then once I am done taking my GRE General, I am going to study for the GRE Bio test until I take it in Oct. I am going to buy books to reivew and get myself ( Read more... )
