So my mom and I had a conversation about my “future” today. In Florida, there’s this state program called Florida Bright Futures which basically makes it really really cheap for Florida residents who have graduated high school to attend college IN STATE. My parents agreed with me that Wake Forest was the best school for me, so they’re not bitter about the fact that all my Bright Futures money isn’t used.

However, they were apparently discussing my future the other day and decided that it would be great if I could use that money for grad school (if there was a program in Florida that I would want to do). Luckily, I have thought about this a teeny bit, so I know that of all the theatre grad programs I’ve looked into, the only one that offers an MFA in Theatre Management (which is what I would probably be interested in) is Florida State.

So, I’ve been looking at all this info about FSU. It really doesn’t look that bad, so I think I’m gonna try to call tomorrow and get some information on the program. The only thing I don’t like is the GPA requirement - 3.0 or higher. My current GPA is 2.824, and I don’t know if I can get it up to a 3.0. I’m retaking 2 classes right now (long story, but I got a D+ in both economics and psychology), and I don’t know how I will do in those classes, but if it’s better, then the new grades will replace the old ones, thus boosting the GPA some. But these are hard classes buddies - I don’t know how I’m gonna do!

The other gross thing about grad school is the GRE . . . I don’t wanna take it. End of story.

Then there’s the thought that I might be the stage manager of Awakening when it hits the road . . . that would rock my socks off. (Awakening is the magic show that a good friend of my is doing, and I’m stage managing it . . . there will be details later).

And I don’t know if I want to go straight into grad school or if I want to take a year off . . . and if I take a year off, what would I do during that year . . . when did life get so complicated? I hate making big decisions!!!

Thoughts? Ideas? Moral support?
