I took a rest day today to relax, sleep in, clean the house, and start my graduate school application statement of purpose essays. Right now I'm considering three schools for a Master's degree: Oregon State University, where I'd work with my advisor from last summer and continue my senior thesis project (a Marine Geology degree in the Oceanography department), and either the University of Oregon or the University of Hawaii-Manoa grad programs, where I'd be working toward a Physical Volcanology degree.
This is pretty exciting, because I remember in Jr. High I was really interested in Oceanography and Volcanology, so it's nice to actually realize that dream. Then again, I also wanted to be the first female President...
All three applications are due at the beginning of January, so I have to apply while I'm still volunteering. I'm not too stressed right now because I think I have a pretty good head start on the process, but the time passes so quickly here. If anyone has advice about the grad school application process, I'd love to hear it!

I do have advice... sometime within the next month take another weekend, and just sit down and write all the essays completely, or as many as you can. It will take a load of stress off of your mind. I promise.
